A Steven City Garden Service
Norwich, Norfolk
Dozens of landscapers are listed for Norfolk, and nearly all of them give a Norwich address, though the postcodes show they work from villages and suburbs all around the city rather than just the centre. A few are based further out, including entries in Wymondham, Attleborough and Thetford, which helps people in the south of the county.
The list covers garden designers, paving and driveway firms, tree surgeons and general garden maintenance businesses. Names include Waveney Landscaping and Bell Landscapes, both listed in Norwich, Miles Garden Design in Wymondham and Ecospaces Norfolk & Norwich Landscapers in Attleborough. With so many based around Norwich, people in north Norfolk, the Broads or the west of the county may want to ask firms how far they travel before booking a visit. Comparing two or three quotes for the same job is common practice and usually gives a clear sense of fair pricing and approach.
Where they are: Norwich (44), Attleborough (1), Thetford (1), Wymondham (1).

Norfolk is one of the driest parts of the UK, so planting schemes and new lawns need a plan for summer watering, and drought tolerant plants make a lot of sense. Soils vary widely: light, sandy ground in the Brecks around Thetford drains fast and loses nutrients, much of south Norfolk has heavier boulder clay, and parts around Norwich are loamy. On sand, ask a landscaper about soil improver and mulch; on clay, ask how they will deal with drainage under patios and lawns. Coastal gardens face strong, salty winds, so shelter belts and tough hedging are worth including in any design.
Start by asking what kind of firm you need, as a paving specialist, a garden designer and a maintenance gardener do quite different work. For hard landscaping, ask for photos or addresses of recent local jobs and check how they prepare the sub base, especially on clay. Written, itemised quotes make it easier to compare like with like. Ask who is responsible for waste removal, skip permits and any damage to boundaries. For planting, find out whether they will choose plants suited to dry Norfolk summers and whether aftercare or a watering plan is included. Check insurance and any guarantees on paving or turf.
Garden UK lists 47 landscapers in Norfolk, spread across 4 towns and villages including Norwich, Attleborough, Thetford. Each listing shows the address and contact details on file, and owners can claim their listing to add opening hours and photos.
Book in winter for spring work if possible, as good landscapers fill their diaries early. Autumn is ideal for planting and laying turf in Norfolk's dry climate, since rain arrives just as new plants need it most.
Usually not if the surface is permeable or water drains onto a lawn or border. Covering more than five square metres of front garden with impermeable paving that drains to the road normally needs permission. Check with the local council if unsure.
Lavender, salvias, sedums, grasses, verbena bonariensis, rosemary and Mediterranean shrubs all cope well with low rainfall. On sandy Breckland soil, adding compost when planting and mulching each spring helps them establish.
