Looking for landscape gardeners in St Albans? JW Landscaping Services can help you turn an awkward or tired garden into an outdoor space that works for you. From improving the layout to carrying out a complete garden makeover, we bring together the paving, lawns, boundaries and finishing details needed to make the garden feel complete.
We can work with your own ideas, discuss options during a site visit or build from plans supplied by your garden designer or architect.
Garden landscaping designed around how you live
A successful garden starts with how you want to use it. You may need space for outdoor dining, a lawn for family activities, more privacy or easier access between the house and garden. Planning these elements together helps avoid a collection of separate features that do not quite work as a whole.
We will discuss what you want to keep, what needs replacing and how the layout could be improved. Access, changes in level, drainage and the preparation beneath new surfaces are considered alongside the appearance of the finished garden.
Complete garden makeovers in St Albans
If several parts of your garden need attention, a complete makeover allows the work to be planned together. Depending on your requirements, this may include:
- Removing unwanted paving and existing garden features
- Creating patios, paths and seating areas
- Preparing the ground and laying a new lawn
- Building raised beds, garden walls and steps
- Installing fencing or decking
- Planning space for a pergola or summerhouse
The scope will depend on your garden, priorities and budget. Explore our full garden makeover service for more information.

This St Albans garden gallery shows paved dining and seating areas arranged around a central lawn, with raised planting beds, an outdoor cooking area and a summerhouse. Daytime and evening photographs show the layout from several viewpoints.

A raised patio with steps into the garden
A second project shows a paved terrace outside the house, with broad steps leading down to the lawn. Raised beds frame the space, while lighting highlights the steps and patio edges after dark.

Patios and pathways within your garden layout
A patio should suit both the property and the way you use the garden. Its position and size affect everything from placing a dining table to leaving comfortable routes around the furniture.
We can incorporate a new patio into a wider landscaping project, with paths connecting seating areas, lawns and other garden features. Materials, levels and drainage can then be planned as part of the overall layout.
For more information about patio materials and installation, visit our patio installers in St Albans page.
Lawns, boundaries and garden structures
The spaces around the patio matter too. A new lawn can provide a clear, open area, while fencing, raised beds and walls help define the garden and create separation where needed.
Our landscaping services include:
If your plans also include the front of your property, see our driveway installation services.

You do not need a finished design before getting in touch. Tell us what you like about your garden, what causes problems and what you would like to change. Photographs, sketches and examples of styles you like can help explain your ideas.
