Gardens that look good in January
Greenfield Gardens designs, builds and looks after gardens across Wimborne and the rest of Dorset. Tell us what you have now and we'll tell you what it could be, with a price you can read.
Garden design
We visit, measure up and draw your garden on paper. You see where everything goes before anyone picks up a spade.
From £450See the service
Landscaping
Levels, retaining walls, steps, ponds and borders. The groundwork that lets a garden hold its shape for years.
From £2,500See the service
Patios and paving
Natural stone, porcelain and block paving, laid on a proper sub-base with a fall so water runs away from the house.
From £3,200See the serviceLawns and turfing
New turf on prepared ground, or a tired lawn scarified, seeded and fed. Edges cut sharp.
From £6 a square metreSee the service
Who we are
A small team that draws it, builds it and stays in touch
The person who visits your garden is the person who draws the plan. The same crew then builds it, so nothing gets lost between the quote and the spade. We work on six gardens at a time, which is why we can pick up the phone.
Most of our work comes from neighbours of gardens we've already finished. If you'd like to see one in person, ask and we'll arrange it with the owner.
About Greenfield GardensWhat we do
Seven jobs, one team
You don't need a designer, a builder and a gardener. We cover all of it, so the person who drew the garden is the person who answers when you ring. Not sure which job you need? Describe the garden and we'll point you the right way.

The Walled Garden
The old patio was cracked and the lawn was mostly moss. The owners wanted somewhere to eat outside and a garden that looked good all year. We laid a new stone patio, re-turfed the lawn and planted deep borders.

How a project works
First visit to finished garden
Five steps, in the same order every time. You'll always know what's happening next and who's doing it.
The full processFirst visit
Tom comes to your garden, usually in the evening or at the weekend. We measure up, look at the soil and the light, and listen to what you want. It takes about an hour and costs nothing.
Design and quote
Within a week you get a drawn plan and a written quote with every cost listed. Change anything you like. We redraw it until it's right.
Booking and preparation
Once you say yes, we agree a start date and order the materials. We tell you who is coming and when. You get one named person to call.
The build
We work in a set order: groundworks first, then hard materials, then planting and turf. Most gardens take four to eight weeks. You get a short update at the end of each week.
Handover and aftercare
We walk round the finished garden with you and show you how to look after it. You get a care sheet for the planting. We come back after six weeks to check everything has settled.
What clients say
We had the whole back garden redone, patio, lawn and borders. Six months on it still looks wonderful and we use it every weekend.
Tell us about your garden
