Garden Landscaping · Knowle
Landscapers in Knowle
An established garden that has drifted — an old patio, a lawn that struggles under the trees, borders that have taken over?
Proud Gardens provides garden landscaping in Knowle and the surrounding villages: new patios and paths, lawns relaid on properly prepared ground, composite decking, fencing and screening, and the drainage and groundwork that older gardens often need.
You might have a single job in mind or a garden that needs several things doing in the right order. Either way we can look at what is there, say what is worth keeping and quote for the work that makes the difference.
- Patios, paths, lawns, decking and fencing
- Working around mature trees and established planting
- A short drive from our base in Hampton-in-Arden
From groundwork to finish
One considered landscaping approach.What We Can Build
Garden landscaping in Knowle
Knowle gardens are rarely blank canvases. The services below are about improving what is already there as much as adding new.
Replacing a patio laid thirty years ago, giving a shaded lawn a base that drains, renewing a boundary hedge or fence — most of the work we do in the village is practical, considered and built to last another thirty years.
Patios & paving
Old riven slabs replaced with porcelain or natural stone on a new sub-base, with the terrace resized and repositioned for how the garden is used now.
Lawns & turfing
Lawns under mature trees need the right preparation. We level, improve and drain the ground, then lay turf that has a fair chance of staying green.
Complete garden landscaping
Where the whole layout has drifted, we bring paving, lawn, levels, boundaries and planting back together as one coordinated build.
Artificial grass
For a shaded corner or a dog run where real grass has given up, a premium artificial grass on a prepared base, edged neatly to paving and borders. See artificial grass.
Decking
Composite decking where a level platform suits a change in height or a seating area beside a garden room. See composite decking.
Fencing & screening
New boundary fencing, screens and trellis, often replacing hedging or fencing that has reached the end of its life.
Drainage & groundworks
Falls, land drains and soakaways for clay ground, and the excavation and bases everything else depends on.
Steps, walls & changing levels
Low retaining walls, steps and terracing so a sloping or split-level garden is easy to move around.
Garden clearance & preparation
Tired paving, redundant structures and overgrown planting removed, with mature trees and good plants protected and kept.
Planting & borders
Borders cut back, reshaped and replanted around the hard landscaping so the garden reads as one space.
Tell Us About Your Garden.
Tell us what is not working, roughly how big the garden is and whether there is side access. Photographs help.
A Practical Starting Point
What kind of landscaping project do you have in mind?
Most Knowle enquiries start with one thing that has finally become annoying enough to fix.
An uneven patio, a lawn that is more moss than grass, a fence leaning into next door, a slope nobody uses. Sometimes it is one of those; often it is two or three that make sense to tackle together.
Tell us what is bothering you and how you would like to use the garden, and we will suggest a sensible scope — which might be smaller than you expect.
Uneven, stained, too small or in the wrong place for the sun. Replacing it properly usually changes how the whole garden is used.
Shade, roots and compacted ground need addressing underneath before any new turf will take.
Old fencing, overgrown hedging or a lack of privacy from a neighbouring extension.
Steps, low walls and terracing can open up an area that has only ever been looked at.
Patio, lawn, drainage and borders planned as one build so the garden is only dug up once.
From Enquiry To Finished Garden
How a landscaping project works
We start by understanding the garden as it is — the trees and planting worth keeping, how water moves and how you get in and out — before suggesting anything.
Tell us what you need
A short description of the job, the rough size of the garden and how it is accessed.
We look at the garden
A visit to measure, record levels and drainage, and note what should stay.
Agree the scope
An itemised quotation for the agreed work, with a sensible order if it is being done in stages.
Prepare the site
Clearance, protection of trees and planting, excavation, drainage and sub-bases.
Build
Paving, lawn, decking, fencing and planting installed in sequence by our own team.
Finish & hand over
Edges, jointing and a final walk-through with aftercare notes for the lawn and planting.
Practical Landscaping. Properly Considered.
Why use Proud Gardens for landscaping in Knowle?
An established garden is easy to spoil. Removing the wrong tree, cutting through old land drains or paving over a level change can undo what made it feel settled.
We work around what is good, fix what is underneath and build the new work to the same standard as the old garden deserves.
We look below the surface
Roots, drainage runs and levels are checked before any paving or turf is ordered.
Built around the way you use the garden
Where you sit in the evening, where the children play and where the sun falls shape the layout.
One overall garden
Paving, lawn, boundaries and borders considered together so the new work fits the 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 Knowle and nearby areas
Proud Gardens is based in Hampton-in-Arden, a short drive from Knowle, so site visits, deliveries and daily travel are simple. We work across the village and neighbouring Dorridge.
Many Knowle gardens are reached down a side passage rather than a drive, so we check access and plan deliveries and skips at the survey rather than on the first morning.
If you are in or around Knowle, 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 Knowle
Can you work around our mature trees?
Yes. We record what is worth keeping at the survey and plan paving, levels and drainage around roots rather than through them.
Can you replace just the patio?
Yes. A patio on its own is a common job in Knowle; we lift the old surface, rebuild the base and relay in porcelain or natural stone, usually resizing it at the same time.
Why is our lawn mostly moss?
Shade, compaction and poor drainage. New turf on the same ground will go the same way, so we fix the ground first.
Do we need a design before you quote?
Not for a patio, lawn, fence or decking. If the garden needs reorganising, a design first is the cheaper route.
The only access is through the house — is that a problem?
No, but it changes how we plan the job: materials and waste go through by hand, floors are protected and the programme allows for it.
How long will the work take?
A patio or lawn is usually a matter of days on site; a garden with several elements is longer. We give a programme with the quotation.
