ALG Gardening & Landscaping
Gloucester, Gloucestershire
Gloucester has a busy local market for landscaping, and nearly every firm on this page is based in the city or its surrounding villages. They are spread fairly evenly: a good number are on the eastern side around Churchdown, Hucclecote and Brockworth, others to the south around Tuffley, Matson and Abbeydale, and a few out in the villages to the north-west.
The list covers full design and build companies as well as smaller garden maintenance, fencing, tree and lawn specialists. TFN Landscapes Ltd and Perspective Landscaping are both listed in the east of Gloucester, Remarkable Landscapes is to the south-east, and Heritage Landscapes is in the villages north-west of the city. Because so many firms work from the same area, getting a few quotes for comparison is easy. It helps to decide first whether the job is mainly hard landscaping, such as patios, walls and driveways, or softer work like turfing, planting and regular upkeep, as many firms specialise.

Gloucester lies in the Severn Vale, where much of the ground is heavy clay that stays wet through winter and bakes hard in summer. Areas close to the Severn and its tributaries carry a real flood risk, so it is worth checking flood maps before planning a big project. On clay, drainage is the main issue: patios need a proper sub-base and fall, lawns may need aerating, and permeable surfaces help. To the east, the Cotswold edge has lighter limestone soil, and Cotswold stone is a popular local choice for walls and paving that suits the area's older houses.
When choosing a landscaper in Gloucester, ask to see local projects similar in size to yours, and request a written quote that sets out sub-base depth, drainage, materials and waste removal. Ask how they deal with heavy clay, as cutting corners on drainage is the most common reason patios and lawns fail here. If natural stone is on the list, find out where it comes from and get samples. A firm that offers a clear guarantee on workmanship, holds public liability insurance and gives a realistic start date is usually a safer bet than the cheapest price.

A typical garden patio takes around one to two weeks, depending on size, materials and weather. Wet clay in winter can cause delays, so a spring or summer start is often quicker and easier for the ground work.
Yes, it suits the local area and ages well, especially next to older brick or stone houses. It is softer than some imported stone, so ask the landscaper about sealing and laying it on a well-drained base.
Ask how water will leave the patio or lawn, whether a soakaway is needed, and whether permeable paving is suitable. On Gloucester clay, poor drainage leads to puddles and moss, so it should be part of any quote.
