Landscaper in Ringwood

Ringwood is a market town on the River Avon at the western edge of the New Forest, close to the border with Dorset. Its weekly Wednesday market has been held for centuries, and the town centre has a conservation area with older cottages and townhouses, while newer estates have grown up around it.

Gardens range from long, narrow plots behind period properties to modern family gardens on newer estates. Low-maintenance spaces that still feel connected to the Forest suit many of them, with natural stone, timber and planting that fit the setting.

Homes in Ringwood range from older cottages and townhouses near the centre to family houses on newer estates.

Ringwood sits in the Avon valley, where the ground is often sandy or gravelly, and areas close to the river can have a high water table in winter. We plan drainage carefully so patios, paths and lawns stay usable all year.

Open gardens on the edge of town can catch the wind, so we set fence posts and structures firmly.

On sandy and gravelly ground, we add topsoil to hold moisture, and in gardens near the river with a high winter water table, we level carefully to avoid wet hollows.

When planning a garden in Ringwood, it is worth thinking about how the space links with its surroundings. A garden that feels connected to the Forest suits many homes here, using natural stone, timber and sleepers, with planting that softens the hard landscaping. Drainage is the other key consideration, particularly for gardens near the river or on low ground, where water can sit through the winter. A well-built patio with proper falls, raised beds and carefully levelled lawns can make a big difference to how usable the garden is. We will walk the garden with you and explain the options clearly before giving you a written quote. You will know exactly what is included, and what it costs, before any work begins.

Ringwood is covered by New Forest District Council. If your home is listed or in the conservation area, some work may need extra checks, which we will mention when quoting.
