Garden Landscaping in Bishops Stortford

Bishop's Stortford is not a flat town, and a fair number of the gardens we landscape here have some change of level to design around. Getting the structural side right, retaining walls, steps and raised beds built on proper footings, is what determines whether a sloping garden ends up genuinely usable or just a series of awkward levels. We handle hard and soft landscaping across the town and the villages around it, from Victorian gardens near the centre to larger plots on the newer estates further out. Steps and terracing can turn a steep garden into a series of usable, level spaces, and we can lay real turf or artificial grass depending on how the lawn will be used. With over 25 years of family experience and a strong track record of reviews on TrustATrader, we take the time to get the groundwork right rather than rushing to the planting.

On a sloping garden, the structural work underneath matters more than usual. Here is what goes into a properly designed landscaping scheme in Bishop's Stortford.

Retaining walls and terracing turn a sloping garden into a series of level, genuinely usable spaces
Steps built on proper footings handle changes in level safely and durably, rather than settling or becoming uneven over time
Correct falls and drainage are planned in from the start, directing water away from the house and any hard landscaping
Real turf laid on properly prepared and levelled ground establishes far better than turf laid on an unprepared slope
Artificial grass can be laid on a level terrace for a consistently tidy lawn with no ongoing maintenance
Raised beds can be used to manage a slope while creating defined planting areas
Paths can be built to link different levels of the garden safely and practically
A weed suppressant membrane under borders reduces ongoing upkeep across the whole scheme
A well designed sloping garden adds noticeably to both the usability and value of a property

  Amwell Driveways did an outstanding job on both my new driveway and the back fence. The team were organised, skilled, and clearly take real pride in their work. The driveway looks superb and the fence is solid, straight, and beautifully finished. Everything was completed on time and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I’m genuinely impressed and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship.

  We are really pleased with our new resin and porcelain patio in our garden.  It was finished to a really high standard.  The team, who were very punctual and professional, worked hard and cleaned up really well after themselves when the work was done.  The whole operation was very smooth from Paul initially coming round to discuss the options and provide a quote, to Martin managing the team over the five days that they were there building our new patio. After my experience, I would highly recommend Amwell Driveways.

  Very pleased with our new resin bound driveway. From initial contact, through discussions and quote, to the completion of the work we found Amwell Driveways and everyone who worked for them excellent. We highly recommend them.

  We spent almost 12 months researching and reviewing Driveway Resin suppliers locally, came up with Amwell Driveways as an all out best deal - we are truly impressed and grateful that we did, fantastic job throughout by a true professional team who knew exactly how and why they were chosen- would have no problem in recommending them to anyone out there looking for a new resin driveway that would and will be the envy of the neighbourhood-

  We approached Amwell to do a design and deliver landscape project for our house.  The work involved stripping the existing area of overgrown trees, lawns and block paving drive from the front and back of our house.  These were replaced with a resin-bound drive , new patio, lawns and beds ready for planting. The design work was carried out by Paul Williams from Amwell.  He is a highly experienced and knowledgeable professional who was able to offer us advice and insights to achieve a better result and avoid costly mistakes.  He was not at all pushy and there was no hard sell.  Perfect. The work was done in less than 2 weeks and to a very high standard.  We are delighted with the end result and have no hesitation recommending Amwell.
