Garden Design & Landscaping in Reading

Reading's mix of Victorian streets near the town centre, leafy Caversham across the river, and newer estates out toward Woodley gives us a broad range of gardens to work with. We take on design, landscaping and ongoing maintenance across RG1 to RG6. When it comes to garden design & landscaping in Reading, that local knowledge matters: Ground near where the Kennet meets the Thames tends to be heavier and moisture-retentive, while areas further from the rivers sit on the sandier, freer-draining Reading Beds, so we adjust planting choices plot by plot.

Why local matters for garden design & landscaping in Reading

Choosing a team that already works across Reading and RG1, RG2, RG4, RG5, RG6 means we understand the gardens here, the mixed Reading Beds clay-sand with river valley alluvial ground ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes garden design & landscaping last in this part of Berkshire. We're regularly in Reading and neighbouring Wokingham and Bracknell, so a visit is easy to arrange.

Design first, build second

Every full landscaping project begins with a site survey: levels, drainage, aspect, soil type and the existing planting worth keeping. From that we produce a scaled concept plan and a planting scheme so you can see the finished garden before committing. Changes on paper cost nothing; changes in built stone cost a great deal.

One team for hard and soft landscaping

Because we handle groundworks, paving, structures and planting in-house, the levels of your patio relate properly to your lawn, your drainage is designed in rather than fought later, and the planting suits the light each bed actually receives. You are not left coordinating three different trades who blame each other.
