LANDSCAPING IN STOURBRIDGE
Many Stourbridge homes have long, established gardens that need some structure bringing back. Landscaping can add new paths, walls, beds and lawns while keeping the character of an older garden.

LANDSCAPING FOR STOURBRIDGE GARDENS
In older gardens we often work around established trees and borders rather than starting from scratch, keeping what works and fixing what does not.
Natural stone walls and paths suit the older houses here and age well over time.
OLD WALLS AND MATURE TREES IN STOURBRIDGE
Many older gardens in Oldswinford, Wollaston and Pedmore are edged by old brick walls. Walls of that age were usually built in a softer lime mortar, and repointing them in hard cement can trap moisture and damage the bricks over time. Where we repair or rebuild a section of old wall, we match the mortar and the brick as closely as we can.
Parts of Stourbridge are conservation areas, and trees in a conservation area are protected even without a tree preservation order, so the council needs notice before most work on them. If you are not sure whether your garden is in one, Dudley Council can tell you, and we will flag any trees close to the work on the visit.
In Lye, Amblecote, Wordsley and Norton, gardens are more often modern and regular. There the work tends to be fencing, a new lawn, a patio and some raised beds, built to be easy to keep. Whatever the garden, we price each part clearly so you can see where the money goes.
HOW WE WORK ON LANDSCAPING JOBS IN STOURBRIDGE
- Clear the ground and sort out the levels and drainage.

- Then turf, plant and edge the beds.
- Take every bit of waste away.
PLANNING A GARDEN PROJECT IN STOURBRIDGE
Garden fences up to two metres high usually do not need planning permission, or up to one metre where they run next to a road. If you are not sure about your garden, Dudley Council can confirm.
Most garden problems start with levels and drainage, so we look at those first. Clearing and taking away the waste from the work we do is part of the job.
In the older parts of Stourbridge, around Oldswinford and Wollaston, we check for old clay drains, gullies and air bricks near the house before we dig, so the new surface does not block or damage them.
