PATIOS AND STONE TERRACES
We build patios and stone terraces with proper excavation, solid sub-bases, clean edging and drainage designed to perform in wet weather. Whether the aim is a quiet seating area, an outdoor dining space or a raised terrace that connects more naturally to the house, the finish is planned to feel balanced, durable and in keeping with the property.
Natural stone and hard-wearing paving can both work well, depending on the setting, level changes and how the space will be used day to day.
Best for outdoor dining areas, courtyards, raised terraces and garden seating spaces.
DRIVEWAYS AND GARDEN PATHS
Driveways and garden paths need more than a tidy finish. They need stable preparation below the surface, well-managed edges and sensible drainage so they remain reliable over time. We install driveways, entrance paths and connecting routes through the garden that improve access, strengthen the layout and suit the property as a whole.
We can create practical routes that work with everyday use while still looking consistent with the house, boundary walls and wider landscaping scheme.
Best for main entrances, side access, parking areas and linking different parts of the garden.
GARDEN WALLS, RETAINING WALLS AND DRY STONE WALLING
Walls often do the hard work in a garden. They hold levels, shape spaces, define boundaries and bring structure to the whole design. We build garden walls, retaining walls and dry stone walling that reflect local Cotswold character and sit naturally within both traditional and more contemporary properties.
This is especially valuable in Stroud and across the Cotswolds, where sloping sites and stone-built homes often need landscaping that feels rooted in the area rather than dropped in from elsewhere.
Best for boundaries, terracing, level changes, seating edges and stone detailing.
STEPS, LEVEL CHANGES AND SLOPING GARDENS
Many gardens in and around Stroud involve gradients, split levels and awkward transitions. We build steps, retaining details and linked level changes that make the space easier to use and easier to move through, while keeping the layout visually consistent with the wider landscaping scheme.
Careful spacing, solid construction and proper drainage matter here. Good step and retaining work should feel effortless when finished.
Best for sloped gardens, split-level plots, access improvements and multi-level landscaping projects.
TURFING, PLANTING AND FINISHING WORKS
Soft landscaping helps the whole project feel complete. We carry out turfing, border preparation and practical planting work that softens stonework, frames patios and helps the finished garden settle naturally into its surroundings. Planting choices can be guided by light levels, maintenance needs and the style of the property.
Best for new lawns, refreshing tired gardens and adding balance to hard landscaping.
FULL GARDEN LANDSCAPING PROJECTS
For larger projects, we handle the full landscaping process from initial clearance and groundworks through to patios, paths, walls, steps, planting and final finishing. This creates a more joined-up result and avoids the stop-start feel that can happen when different parts of the job are split between trades.
Where needed, we can also integrate related structural work and stonework so the house, garden and boundaries all feel part of the same project.
Best for full garden transformations, renovation projects, new-build landscaping and larger property upgrades.
