Options
Full makeover
Strip back a tired garden and rebuild the levels, surfaces and boundaries together. Book a 2027 makeover and ask about 10% off.
Drainage and levels
Water that sits on a lawn or against the house is sorted before we lay turf or slabs. Falls, a gravel trench or a simple soakaway — we say which one the garden actually needs.
Low-maintenance finish
Porcelain, gravel and a fence instead of a lawn you do not want to mow. We will not sell you a planting scheme you then have to maintain every weekend.
Sleeper beds and terraces
The practical answer to sloping plots in Old Town, Wroughton and the villages north of Swindon.
Planting areas
We build the beds and edges. We will tell you if a planting scheme is better left to you or a gardener.
Alongside tree work
Straightforward tree work can sit with a clearance. Send photos and we will say if it is a job for us.
How the job runs
- 01
Photos and a walk-round so the plan matches how you actually use the garden.

Written quote covering each part of the job.
- 03
Groundwork first — nothing looks right on a bad level.

Questions
Are you landscapers in Swindon?
If the garden is in Swindon or a nearby town we already cover, yes. We are a family-run firm, not a directory. Read the Google and Yell reviews, then send photos and the postcode for a free quote.
Can you do fencing and the patio together?
Yes. That is the usual garden makeover. One visit for levels means the fence line and the patio falls actually agree.
How long does a garden makeover take?
A small patio and fence is often a few days. A full garden — strip out, levels, patio, lawn and boundaries — is usually one to two weeks, weather allowing. The written quote includes the working days, not a guess.
What affects the price of landscaping in Swindon?
How much has to come out, access for a skip, whether the garden slopes, and the materials you choose. A porcelain patio with a new fence costs more than gravel and a panel fence. We itemise it so you can take a piece out.
Can garden work be done in autumn or winter?
Yes. Groundwork, fencing and patios carry on through the colder months unless the ground is frozen or standing in water. Turf is better from autumn into spring, when it can root without a heatwave.
How much does a garden makeover cost in Swindon?
There is no single figure. A straightforward fence starts from £90 a metre and a patio from £90 a square metre. Clearance, a slope and a skip move the total. The quote is itemised so you can take a part out.
Can you level a sloping garden?
Yes, with steps, a sleeper bed or a retaining edge. We do not scrape a slope flat and hope it stays there.
Do you build sleeper retaining walls?
Yes, where the slope has to be held before a patio or a lawn goes in.
Can you make the garden low maintenance?
Yes. Porcelain, gravel and a fence instead of a lawn you do not want to mow. We will not add planting you then have to look after every weekend.
Do you take the garden waste away?
Yes. Clearance and spoil are in the quote, not added when the skip arrives.

Highly recommend Star Fencing & Landscaping for our new patio in Swindon. From start to finish they were professional, reliable and did a fantastic job. The new patio has completely transformed our garden and the workmanship is excellent.
