A whole garden, or one corner of it

We handle everything from turfing and planting to patios, paths, fencing and ground preparation. One crew, one job, done in the right order.

  • Homes

    From a tired back garden to a complete new layout: lawn, patio, paths, walls, fencing and planting, planned together so it all fits.

  • Holiday and rental properties

    Outside spaces that look right for the next guests and stand up to being used, with seasonal upkeep to keep them that way.

  • Rural sites

    Ground preparation, drainage, fencing and walls for smallholdings, yards and the land around rural homes.

The ground comes first

Round here, gardens slope and the rain is serious. Turf laid on badly drained ground turns to mud by the first winter, and borders on a slope wash away.

So before anything goes on top, we sort the levels and the groundwork and drainage: where the water comes from, where it can go, and what the soil underneath is like. Then the lawn, paths, patio and planting go in on ground that will hold them.

For a sloping garden, that might mean a retaining wall or steps to break it into levels.

Landscaping questions

Where we work

In and around Dolgellau, from Barmouth to Bala, and Trawsfynydd to Corris.

Areas we cover

Can you do the whole garden, not just one part?

Yes. Because we do walls, fencing, paths, patios, turf and planting ourselves, a whole garden can be one job with one crew, done in the right order.

Do you look after holiday lets and rental properties?

Yes. We landscape outside spaces for holiday and rental properties, and offer seasonal upkeep to keep them looking right between guests and tenants. Tell us what the property needs and how often.

When is the best time to lay turf?

Autumn and spring are usually best, when the ground is moist and it isn’t too hot. Turf can go down at other times of year if it’s kept well watered while it roots.

Our garden is always waterlogged. Can you help?

Often, yes. We look at where the water comes from and where it can go, then sort out the levels and drainage before any turf, paving or planting goes in.

Got a garden that needs sorting?

Tell us what’s there now and what you’d like it to be. We’ll come up with a plan and a free quote.
