Our Services

Garden design starts with what you want the space to do. We measure up, look at the light, the levels and where water sits, then set out where lawn, planting, paving and seating should go. You get a plan you can picture before any digging begins. See the garden design page for more.

New turf gives you a finished lawn straight away. Seed costs less and suits larger areas, but it needs a season and regular watering before you can walk on it. Either way the ground has to be cleared and levelled first. Read more on the turfing and lawn seeding page.

A tired lawn is usually fixable without starting again. Scarifying pulls out the dead thatch, aerating opens up compacted soil, and feeding and overseeding fill in the bare patches. Most lawns benefit from this every year or two. More detail is on the lawn treatment and renovation page.

Hedges need cutting at the right time of year to stay thick at the base rather than going bare and woody. We cut conifer, beech, privet and box, shape topiary, and take every bit of the clippings away with us. Full detail is on the hedge cutting and topiary page.

Garden clearance is the first job on most overgrown plots. Brambles, self seeded trees, old sheds, broken slabs and buried rubble all come out, and the ground is left level and ready for whatever comes next. See the garden clearance page for what we can take away.

Sloping gardens work far better cut into level terraces. Sleepers and retaining walls hold the soil back, create planting beds and turn a slope into usable space. The wall needs proper footings and drainage behind it. More is on the sleeper and retaining wall installation page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a gardener and a landscape gardener in Ipswich?

A gardener keeps a garden going, cutting grass, weeding and pruning. A landscape gardener changes the garden itself, building the lawns, paths, walls, beds and paving the garden is made from. Gardenwise does the landscaping work, covering Ipswich and the surrounding villages.

When is the best time of year to landscape a garden in Ipswich?

Autumn and spring are the easiest times to landscape a garden in Ipswich, because turf and new planting settle in while the ground is damp but not frozen. Hard landscaping such as paving and walls can be built at any time of year, weather permitting. We work all year round.

How long does a landscape gardener take to finish a garden in Ipswich?

Most garden projects in Ipswich take from two days to three weeks. Clearance and turfing are quick. A full rebuild with walls, paving and planting takes longer, and heavy rain can hold up groundworks. We give you a timescale with the free quotation and tell you if anything changes.
