Gardens Just For You
Some people have beautiful gardens already and they are instead looking for ways to make it personal. Personalised installations, designs that speak to their passions in life or memories. I can make it really yours.
quality worksmanship
We love our details here. We create things to be pleasing to the eye and functional. We design and build projects the right way. From the joinery of wood, to the symmetry of installations to the dressing of planting, we like it just so.
quality materials
We choose quality appropriate materials for each project. We can give you a range of material choices to suit every type of budget. We will never recommend or use inferior materials just to save a few £. We build things that last.
Delays
We won’t leave you wondering when its going to be finished. Yes, sometimes delays happen from supplier deliveries and the Great British weather. However, we do all we can to keep things on track and on time.
Reliable and Punctual
We save you from the anxiety of tradespeople who aren’t reliable or punctual. You can trust us to be there when we say we will and fully prepared when we arrive. We usually send texts before arriving so you know when to expect us.
Respect
This is your home, your castle. We will respect you, your wishes, your family, your neighbours and your home. Love thy neighbour. We’re here to serve you and make your life better.
Fully Managed
Most projects require organisation, material orders and deliveries, schedule control and management of any subcontractors on site.
You can trust us to handle it all seamlessly.
Fair pricing
Our aim is build relationships and serve our customers for years to come. Our clients can tell you that we price fairly and include everything in our quotations. One fair price to include everything from start to tidy finish.
Communication
Its incredibly stressful and annoying, not knowing what’s going on, or feeling uneasy asking questions.
We make it a huge priority to be approachable and to communicate each step with you.
Clean and Tidy
Landscaping and building are messy services. We have daily tidy ups, clearing/cleaning equipment, shoe covers, surface protection and much more.
All to keep your home and garden mess free.

“James understood exactly what we were looking for.”
“I appreciated the regular communication, i knew exactly what was going on and what would happen next.”
“The kids absolutely love it, theyve spent the whole day in the treehouse.”
‘‘James has created a few additions to our garden over the years, always pleased with the results’’
“Thank you for all your hard work, we love the garden and spend so much more time outside now. Its wonderful.”
‘‘thanks for tackling my jungle of a garden, it feels so spacious now!’’
“I now have the perfect space for my hobby, i feel like a real cottage industry!”
Portfolio
Received one of my leaflets?
If you’ve received one of these leaflets, that means I was working for a nearby neighbour of yours and posted them after the project was completed.
I like to meet new people and this lowers my marketing costs, which I pass on to my clients.
Seems like a win/win to me.
