Patios, driveways, lawns and artificial grass, hedge cutting and complete garden makeovers for homes across Telford – from brand-new estates to established gardens.
Landscaping for Telford homes, new and old
Telford grew quickly from the 1960s onwards and is still growing, so many of the gardens we're asked about belong to fairly modern houses – including new-build homes where the garden was left as a quick turf finish over compacted ground. Others are established gardens in the older parts of the town that need new paving, a driveway or a tidy-up.
The Green Team can turn a bare or tired plot into a garden you'll use: groundwork and levels, porcelain and sandstone patios, paths, turf or artificial grass, sleeper beds and decorative stone. We also lay block paving and gravel driveways.
For gardens that just need looking after, we offer hedge cutting, grass cutting, tree pruning and garden clearances, and we take the waste away.

Points that often come up on Telford jobs:
- New-build gardens: it's common to find compacted subsoil or leftover building debris under a thin layer of topsoil. A lawn or planting area may need that dealing with first, or it will struggle and hold water.
- Check your deeds: some newer estates have covenants about front gardens, boundaries or driveways. It's worth checking before you plan changes to the front of the house.
- Paving a front garden: in England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than five square metres in a front garden must be permeable (for example gravel or permeable block paving) or drain onto a lawn or border – otherwise planning permission is needed.
- Dropped kerbs: Telford is covered by Telford & Wrekin Council, which handles permission for a new dropped kerb across the pavement.
- Drainage: water from a new patio or drive needs somewhere to go. We plan falls and drainage at the site visit so the new surface doesn't send water towards the house or a neighbour.
We talk these points through at the free site visit, so your quotation reflects your garden rather than a guess.
