Garden Landscaping · Henley-in-Arden
Landscapers in Henley-in-Arden
A garden behind a period house that needs practical work done sympathetically — a terrace, a path, a lawn, a boundary?
Proud Gardens provides garden landscaping in Henley-in-Arden and the Warwickshire villages around it. We lay natural stone and clay-paver terraces and paths, relay lawns on prepared ground, renew hedging and fencing, build low walls and steps and sort out drainage on heavier soil.
Older properties set the tone for the materials and the way the garden is laid out. Bring us a single job or a garden that needs several things doing, and we will suggest work that suits the house as well as the budget.
- Natural stone, clay pavers and porcelain laid properly
- Hedging, walls, steps and boundaries for period plots
- Single jobs or a complete garden build, one team throughout
From groundwork to finish
One considered landscaping approach.What We Can Build
Garden landscaping in Henley-in-Arden
The services below are chosen to suit character properties — materials that belong, boundaries that look established and drainage that respects the ground.
Long burgage plots behind the high street, cottage gardens in the lanes and larger farmhouse gardens each need a different layout, but the principles are the same: proper bases, honest materials and planting that gives the garden its structure.
Patios & paving
Terraces and paths in sandstone, limestone, clay pavers or porcelain, laid on a full base with falls built in and detailed to suit an older house.
Lawns & turfing
Ground levelled, improved and drained before turf goes down, with edges to paths and borders that look as though they have always been there.
Complete garden landscaping
Paving, walls, lawn, hedging, planting and lighting brought together as one build that respects the property.
Artificial grass
Rarely the first choice for a period garden, but right for a small shaded courtyard or a dog run; installed on a drained base and edged neatly. See artificial grass.
Decking
Composite decking where a level platform suits a change in height, detailed so it sits quietly with an older house. See composite decking.
Fencing & screening
Hedging, trellis and traditional fencing for privacy that suits a period plot better than close-board panels.
Drainage & groundworks
Land drains, soakaways and falls for heavy ground, and the excavation and bases everything else depends on.
Steps, walls & changing levels
Brick and stone walls, steps and terracing that make a sloping plot usable and look right against the house.
Garden clearance & preparation
Old paving, structures and overgrowth removed with care, keeping the trees, walls and planting worth keeping.
Planting & borders
Borders, hedging and trees planned as the structure of the garden, chosen for the soil and the setting.

A Practical Starting Point
What kind of landscaping project do you have in mind?
You do not need a plan. Most Henley enquiries start with one part of the garden that no longer suits the house.
A concrete path that jars with a timber-framed cottage, a terrace too small for the house, a lawn that stays wet, a boundary that has lost its hedge or a long narrow plot that has never been laid out.
Tell us what is not working and what you would like to keep, and we will suggest work that suits the property and the budget.
Replaced in natural stone or clay pavers on a proper base, detailed to the period of the property.
A terrace sized and positioned for the house and the sun, in a material that belongs.
Hedging, trellis and traditional fencing renewed so privacy comes without a wall of panels.
Paths, steps and low walls that give a burgage plot or sloping garden a sequence of usable spaces.
Paving, walls, lawn and hedging planned as one build so the garden is only dug up once.
From Enquiry To Finished Garden

Practical Landscaping. Properly Considered.
Why use Proud Gardens for landscaping in Henley-in-Arden?
A period garden is easy to get wrong: the wrong paving, a boundary that is too modern or a wall built without regard to the house.
We choose materials that belong, build the bases and drainage properly and detail the work so it looks as though it was always part of the property.
We look below the surface
Heavy ground, old drains and levels are checked before any stone or turf is ordered.
Built around the way you use the garden
A courtyard, a long plot or a farmhouse garden — the layout follows how you live in it.
One overall garden
Paving, walls, lawn and hedging considered together so new work settles into an old garden.
Design help when the project needs it
If the garden needs reorganising rather than repairing, our garden design service can plan it in 3D first.

Landscaping across Henley-in-Arden and nearby areas
Henley-in-Arden sits in Warwickshire, south of Solihull borough and a short drive from our base in Hampton-in-Arden. We cover the town and the villages between here and Solihull, including Hockley Heath and Tanworth-in-Arden.
Many Henley gardens are reached down a narrow passage or through the house, so access, deliveries and skips are planned at the survey.
If you are in or around Henley-in-Arden, send us a description of the job and a few photographs and we will tell you what the next step looks like.
Common Questions
Questions about landscaping in Henley-in-Arden
Which paving suits an older house?
For most period properties natural stone or clay pavers sit better with the building and weather in gracefully. Porcelain suits a modern extension or contemporary courtyard. We show both and price whichever you prefer.
Our house is listed or in a conservation area — does that affect the work?
It can, particularly for walls, boundaries and anything visible from the street. We are not planning consultants, but we design with these constraints in mind and point you to where permission may be needed before work starts.
Can you give us privacy without a tall fence?
Yes. Hedging, trellis with climbers and well-placed planting give screening that suits a period garden far better than close-board panels.
Can you work down a long narrow plot?
Yes. Access down a passage or through the house is planned at the survey and built into the programme and the quotation.
Do we need a garden design first?
Not for a path, terrace, lawn or boundary. If the whole plot needs laying out, a design first is the better route.
How long will the work take?
A path or terrace is typically days on site; a garden with walls, paving and planting is longer and sometimes split so planting goes in at the right time of year. A programme comes with the quotation.
