8 Best Landscapers in Stevenage for 2026

Stevenage is an odd mix when it comes to gardens. You've got the older streets around Old Town with decent-sized plots and mature soil that's been worked for decades, then the newer estates out towards Great Ashby or Chells Manor where gardens tend to be smaller, the topsoil is often thin, and drainage can be a real headache after heavy rain. That difference matters when you're hiring someone: a job that's straightforward on clay-heavy ground in Broadwater might need extra prep on a new-build plot where builders have left compacted subsoil just under the turf. Local landscapers tend to know which streets need soakaways, which gardens face north and struggle with shade, and how close you can dig to shared fences without upsetting the neighbours.

The businesses listed here come from public business listings, ranked mainly by review rating and how many reviews they've built up over time, with a small boost given to those that have a working website and phone number listed. We also check each business's homepage ourselves to confirm landscaping is genuinely what they do day to day, which stops unrelated builders or general handymen cluttering up the page. Listings flagged as permanently closed get removed as part of that same process. Where you see a Trust Verified badge next to a business, that company has gone through our full verification, covering trade qualifications and accreditations, public liability insurance, trading history, customer review history and registered company information. You can read exactly what that involves on our How We Verify page. For any business without that badge, those checks haven't been done by us, so it's worth doing your own homework before you book.

Before signing anything, ask to see proof of public liability insurance and check whether the quote includes waste removal, because skip hire or tip runs can add a few hundred pounds to a project if they're not factored in. If the job involves changing ground levels near a boundary or building a raised structure, ask whether planning permission or building regulations apply, particularly for anything over 30 square metres or involving a retaining wall. Get at least two or three written quotes rather than verbal estimates, and ask each landscaper for photos of recent jobs local to Stevenage so you can see how their work has held up. Paying a deposit is normal, but stagger the rest of the payment against clear milestones rather than paying in full upfront.

How We Select & Rate The Best Landscapers in Stevenage

Businesses on this page are drawn from public business listings and ranked mainly by review rating and review count, with a small lift given to those showing a working website and phone number. We check each business's homepage to confirm landscaping work is what they primarily offer, which keeps unrelated trades off the page, and listings flagged as permanently closed are removed automatically. Where a business carries our Trust Verified badge, it has additionally passed full verification covering trade qualifications and accreditations, public liability insurance, trading history, customer review history and registered company information (see our How We Verify page for details). Other businesses haven't been independently verified by us, and being listed isn't an endorsement, so do your own checks before hiring.

Recommended and Featured listings are paid placements, so a business's fee affects whether and where it appears. Every other listing is ranked on rating and review count from third-party business listings. How we rank & verify →

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a landscapers cost in Stevenage?

Small jobs like turfing a rear garden or laying a simple gravel path often start around £600 to £1,200, depending on how much groundwork's needed. A full garden redesign with patio, borders and new lawn on an average Stevenage plot typically runs £4,000 to £10,000, and larger projects with decking, retaining walls or drainage work can go beyond £15,000. Prices vary a lot depending on access to the garden, soil condition, and whether old features need ripping out first. Always get two or three quotes, since prices for the same job can differ by several hundred pounds between companies.

Do I need planning permission for landscaping work in Stevenage?

Most everyday landscaping, like patios, borders, and standard fencing, doesn't need planning permission. It gets more complicated with raised decking over 30 centimetres high, boundary walls over certain heights, or any work that affects drainage shared with neighbours. If your property is in a conservation area, which covers parts of Stevenage Old Town, rules can be stricter. Check with Stevenage Borough Council's planning department before work starts if you're unsure, rather than after.

How long does a typical garden landscaping project take?

A patio or decking job usually takes three to five days depending on size and weather. A full garden overhaul, including groundwork, planting, and hard landscaping, often takes two to four weeks. Wet weather can push timelines back, particularly on clay soil common in parts of Stevenage, which drains slowly and can delay foundation work for patios or paths. Ask your landscaper for a realistic timeframe upfront and build in some flexibility.

What's the difference between a landscaper and a gardener?

A gardener typically handles ongoing maintenance, like mowing, hedge trimming, and seasonal planting. A landscaper takes on structural changes, patios, decking, retaining walls, drainage, turfing, and full garden redesigns. Some businesses do both, so check what they actually specialise in before booking, especially if you need groundwork or construction-level skills rather than routine upkeep.

Should I choose a landscaper who offers a free quote or survey?

A site visit before quoting is worth insisting on, especially for anything beyond basic maintenance. Ground conditions, access for materials, and existing drainage all affect price and can't be judged accurately from photos alone. Be wary of anyone quoting a full project cost without seeing the garden first, as the final bill can end up considerably higher once they arrive and spot complications.

How do I check whether a landscaper in Stevenage is trustworthy?

Ask to see proof of public liability insurance and, ideally, evidence of relevant qualifications like an NVQ in horticulture or landscaping. Look through recent reviews for mentions of reliability, tidiness, and whether the finished work matched what was agreed. Ask for two or three references from jobs completed in the local area, ideally ones you can view in person. Get everything in writing, including start dates, payment stages, and what happens if the job overruns, before any deposit changes hands.
