In short
Landscape gardening here means the heavy end done properly: clearing, levelling, drainage and bases first, then lawns, beds and the finished garden on top.
Steve does both halves with the same machines and the same pair of hands, so nothing gets lost between a groundworker and a gardener. Sloped plots become usable terraces, tired lawns become level ones, and rough ground becomes a garden you can actually use.
It starts with a walk round your garden and a written quote. Call 07735 348042 and describe what you want it to become.
What Steve handles
- Garden levelling and re-grading, from gentle falls to full terracing on sloped plots
- New lawns: ground stripped, topsoiled and prepared properly, then turf or seed on a clean bed
- Beds, borders and planting areas shaped and filled with decent topsoil
- Drainage built in where gardens sit wet: soakaways and French drains that actually work
- Paths, edges and the hard landscaping that frames the green parts
- Full transformations, overgrown plot to finished garden, run as one job
Recent work
One contractor, start to finish
Most garden transformations stall in the gap between trades: a clearance crew leaves, weeks pass, a landscaper arrives and quotes again from scratch. Steve closes that gap.
The same person clears the plot, shifts the levels, sorts the drainage and builds the garden, in one sequence with one quote.
It matters most on jobs with a machine element. Levelling decides how a garden drains, drainage decides where a lawn can go, and the bases decide what the patio and shed will do in five years.
When one person owns the whole chain, those decisions get made in the right order instead of being discovered in the wrong one.
And because the machines are Steve’s own, a garden job can flex mid-stream: a buried surprise, an extra stump, a change of heart about the lawn shape. You talk to the man in the cab and it is resolved straight away.
