Garden Landscaping in Amersham
Full garden makeovers in Amersham, from garden design to build, by a family-run team of landscapers based in Hazlemere.
Landscapers in Amersham, from Design to Build
We take on full garden makeovers across Amersham, from the Old Town and Amersham-on-the-Hill to Chesham Bois, Little Chalfont and Hyde Heath.
Landscaping in Amersham means working with two very different kinds of ground: slowly draining clay on the hill, and the Misbourne valley in the Old Town, where groundwater rises in wet winters. Drainage is part of the design, not an afterthought.
The 1930s Metro-land gardens of the Weller Estate suit a full garden refurb that keeps the character of the street, while larger plots on the hill have room for a full garden redesign.
Amersham-on-the-Hill sits at 160 to 180 metres, well above the Old Town at about 95 metres, and Elm Close, 30 houses built in 1920, is a conservation area in its own right.
Covering Amersham and the HP6 and HP7 postcode areas.

Landscaping Questions from Amersham
How do you handle drainage in an Amersham garden?
On the hill the clay drains slowly, and in the Old Town the Misbourne groundwater rises in wet winters, so drainage is designed in, not added afterwards.
Can you refurb a Metro-land garden on the Weller Estate?
Yes. The Weller Estate is a conservation area, so we keep the character of the front while redesigning the back garden for the way you live now.
Do you design and build gardens in the villages around Amersham?
Yes. As well as Amersham itself, we cover Old Amersham, Amersham-on-the-Hill, Amersham Common, Woodside, Chesham Bois, Coleshill, Shardeloes, Hyde Heath, Little Chalfont and Little Missenden, and the rest of the HP6 and HP7 postcode areas.
How long does a full garden makeover take in Amersham?
Every project is worked to a schedule, and they run from a few days to around three months depending on the size and what is involved. Your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.
Do you offer garden design as well as landscaping?
Yes. We can discuss different designs based on the features you want, and give you advice on the pros and cons of different materials. If you already have a garden designer, we are happy to build their design.
I don't know what I want. How can you help?
That is what the design stage is for. We meet you, go through what you like and don't like and how you want to use the space, and turn that into a design for you to react to.
What does a landscape gardener in Amersham actually do?
We plan and build the whole garden: patios and paths, fencing, decking, lawns, planting, lighting, water features and garden rooms. A full garden makeover brings several of these together under one design and one team, for high-quality landscaping that works as a whole.
How much does a full garden makeover cost in Amersham?
It depends on the size of the garden and what goes into it. We need to see the garden and talk through what you want before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
