Our expert Devon landscapers aim to revitalise your garden and your enjoyment of it. We’ll increase its usability by transforming the most challenging space into a gorgeous view. Our deep knowledge of landscape works across Exeter, Plymouth, Torquay, Exmouth, Okehampton, North and East Devon includes practical artificial grass installation, beautiful resin pathways, durable composite decking and so much more.
Whether you have a patio, courtyard space or large open plan garden, we can supply all groundworks and bespoke landscape services to ensure your outdoors is perfectly fit for your requirements.
We design beautiful rockeries, arrange flower beds and build sleeper planters.
For a welcome splash of colour and clearer delineation between areas, we insert edges and borders. As experienced pavers and landscapers, we offer a wide range of materials in a multitude of textures and hues to enliven lawns and gardens.
As well as being unsightly, dead trees or overgrown branches take space that can be better utilised. We provide tree surgery and stump removal upon request.
Many gardens and lawns suffer from a sloping, uneven ground that makes them either difficult to maintain or prevents easy access – or both. As part of our landscaping services, we can add decorative tiers or banks to make the best use of the space available. Depending on your preferences, we may suggest levelling out uneven areas and build pretty retaining walls for extra safety.
Our full garden makeovers in the Southwest include comprehensive design and installation services: initial site survey and consultation, bespoke design plans, site clearance and preparation, hard landscaping (patios, decking, walls, fencing), soft landscaping (planting schemes, lawn installation), water features, lighting systems, irrigation installation, garden structures (pergolas, arbours), and finishing touches.
We also offer project management to coordinate all aspects of your transformation, ensuring a seamless process from concept to completion.
All work is completed to the highest standards using quality materials suited to the unique Southwest climate.
The timeline for garden landscaping projects varies based on complexity and size. Small projects like installing a new patio or simple planting scheme typically take 1-2 weeks. Medium-sized garden makeovers usually require 3-6 weeks. Larger, complex transformations with multiple features and challenging site conditions can take 2-3 months or longer. Weather conditions in the Southwest can also impact timelines, particularly during winter months.
We provide realistic timeframes during the quotation process and keep you updated throughout the project.
Most garden landscaping work in Devon, Somerset, and Cornwall doesn’t require planning permission as it falls under “permitted development.” However, permission may be needed if: your property is in a conservation area, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or listed building; you’re planning to build substantial structures over certain heights; you’re changing land levels significantly; you’re installing extensive paving in front gardens; or you’re removing protected trees.
We can advise on planning requirements during our initial consultation and handle necessary applications on your behalf if required.
The ideal time for landscaping is spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). These periods offer moderate temperatures and moisture levels optimal for plant establishment, while avoiding summer drought stress and winter waterlogging common in Southwest soils. Hard landscaping (patios, walls, etc.) can be undertaken year-round, though winter weather may cause occasional delays. For lawn installation, early autumn is preferable.
That said, we schedule projects throughout the year, adapting our methods to seasonal conditions. Planning your project during the winter months allows for design development and material sourcing, ensuring you’re ready for installation when conditions are optimal.
Well-designed landscaping can increase Southwest property values by 5-15%, offering an excellent return on investment.
Key value-adding features include: a well-maintained lawn, mature trees and shrubs, outdoor living spaces (patios, decking), garden structures (pergolas, garden rooms), water features, appropriate privacy screening, and thoughtful lighting. Creating a connection between indoor and outdoor spaces is particularly valuable in Devon, Somerset, and Cornwall, where outdoor living is highly prized. Professional landscaping that complements the regional style and showcases scenic views is especially effective.
We design with both immediate enjoyment and long-term value in mind, creating gardens that appeal to future buyers while you enjoy them today.
We create privacy in gardens through strategic, multi-layered approaches: mature hedging (instant impact), mixed boundary planting (year-round coverage), architectural screens and pergolas (immediate solutions with climbing plants), raised planting beds (additional height), strategic tree placement, and carefully positioned garden structures.
For suburban gardens, we often create “rooms” using internal divisions that screen neighbouring viewpoints. Privacy solutions are designed to enhance rather than detract from your garden’s beauty, incorporating decorative elements that serve dual purposes.
Our designs consider sight lines from both inside and outside the property, creating private spaces that still maintain a sense of openness and connection to the broader landscape.
