ExploreSpecialists in difficult gardens
Steep slopes and coastal exposure put a lot of landscapers off, and they're common across Penryn and the rest of Cornwall. They're also where we do our best work: retaining walls on hillside gardens, fences built for strong wind, and drainage that keeps water away from the house.
Harry Lyall runs every job, working alongside his colleague Matt. Customers who've hired us across Cornwall consistently mention punctuality, quick responses, detailed quotes, creative design ideas and a high standard of finish.
Every job in Penryn comes with a full written contract, a warranty (typically 2 years) and our employer's and public liability insurance, so you know exactly what you're getting.

What we see in Penryn gardens
Steep, terraced gardens
Many Penryn gardens fall sharply towards the river, needing walls and steps to be usable.
Old stonework
Traditional walls slump and collapse over time if not maintained or rebuilt.
Restricted access
Narrow lanes and steps make getting materials in a challenge: planning matters.
High-turnover rentals
Rental gardens get neglected between tenants and need clearing and simplifying.
Left alone, these problems tend to get worse: walls bulge further, fences fail in the next storm, and patios keep sinking. Dealing with the cause, usually groundwork, drainage or structure, is what stops you paying to fix the same thing twice.
