Landscape build
From groundwork to finished garden
Full garden builds across Bristol and Bath, covering every stage from groundwork to planting.
Groundwork & drainage
We clear, level and drain the site, laying solid foundations before any stone or planting goes in.
Natural stone terraces
Hand-laid stone terraces and steps, built to sit quietly within the garden.
Oak structures
Pergolas, screens and edging in oak, built to weather and age with the garden.
Planting & borders
Generous borders planted to a design, establishing structure and softness together.
How we build
Enquiry to finished garden
Four stages, from the first conversation to planting the final border.
Consultation
We visit your garden in Bristol or Bath to talk through what you want from the space.
Concept design
We draw up a design and discuss the investment before any work starts.
Build
Our team builds the groundwork, stone terraces and oak structures on site.

Questions
Landscape build, answered
What homeowners and architects ask before starting a build.
Talk through your garden
Call us Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm, or send details of your project.
Do you design and build the whole garden, or just the hard landscaping?
We offer both. Garden design, landscape build, natural stone terraces, planting design and garden lighting can be commissioned together or separately.
How long does a full garden build take?
Every garden is different; timescales depend on scale and the stonework involved. We set out a programme once the design is agreed.
Do you work with architects as well as homeowners?
Yes. We work alongside architects on new builds and renovations across Bristol and Bath, as well as directly with homeowners.
What areas do you cover?
We design and build gardens across Bristol and Bath.
Can you include lighting and planting in the build?
Yes. Garden lighting and planting design are part of our landscape build process, not an afterthought.
Are you a member of any professional body?
Yes. Fernwood Landscapes is a member of the Society of Garden Designers.
