CHELTENHAM & GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Landscape Gardening Cheltenham

Patios, fencing, turfing, artificial grass and complete garden transformations — designed and built by a family-run team with 21 years' experience. Backed by our 5-year workmanship guarantee.

TRUSTED CHELTENHAM LANDSCAPE GARDENERS

B E Rudman are landscape gardeners covering Cheltenham and the wider Gloucestershire area.

Turning tired or unused outdoor space into gardens you'll actually want to spend time in. Where our driveway work is about the front of your home, our garden landscaping is about the back — patios for summer evenings, fencing for privacy, fresh turf underfoot, and low-maintenance features that look good all year round.

As a family-run team, we take on the whole garden rather than just one part of it, so everything ties together properly — levels, drainage, materials and finish. Below you'll find our full range of landscaping services, how we work, honest guidance on cost, and answers to the questions we hear most from Cheltenham homeowners.

A Recent complete garden transformation, Start To Finish

Check this one out. Now that's what we call a transformation. Resin bound throughout, with a shaped artificial lawn, rendered walls and a block-paved border. Nothing to mow, nothing to weed — just a garden that's ready whenever you are.

Our Landscaping Services Across Cheltenham

Everything you need to transform your garden, from one trusted team. Each is a service in its own right, or part of a full garden design.

Patios & Paving

Porcelain, sandstone and block-paved patios, laid on a properly prepared base. Our biggest area of work — see the full range and what's involved.

Garden Fencing

Closeboard, feather-edge and decorative fencing for privacy, security and a tidy finish. Installed straight, solid and set to handle Gloucestershire weather — a small change that makes a whole garden feel finished.

Turfing & Lawns

Fresh, quality turf laid over properly prepared ground for a lush, even lawn. Turfing is one of the quickest ways to transform how a garden looks and feels, and we prepare the ground properly so it roots and lasts.

Artificial Grass

Hard-wearing, realistic artificial grass for a green, usable lawn all year with none of the mowing. A popular choice for busy families, pet owners and shadier gardens where real grass struggles.

Garden Features

Raised beds, sleeper walls, steps, borders and garden walls — the structural touches that turn a flat, empty space into a garden with real character and different areas to enjoy.

Decking

Composite and timber decking built on a solid, level frame that won't sag or move. A great way to make use of a sloped garden or create a seating area that sits above the lawn — and composite in particular needs very little looking after once it's down.

Full Garden Transformations

Starting from scratch or overhauling the lot? We design and build the whole garden — clearance, levels, patio, planting, lawn and features — so it all works together as one finished space, managed by one team from start to finish.

How much does landscaping cost in Cheltenham?

Garden projects vary enormously — a new patio is a very different job to a full garden redesign — so there's no single price. What we can promise is honest, transparent guidance rather than a vague "it depends". At your free site visit we'll talk through what you want, suggest options to suit your budget, and put it all in a clear written quote with no obligation.

What affects the cost: the size of the garden, the services involved (patio, fencing, turf, features), ground levels and access, material choices, and how much clearance or groundwork is needed before we start.

We have designed a seamless, transparent four-step workflow to guide your project from initial consultation to immaculate completion.

1 Free Quote

We visit, listen to how you want to use the garden, and give honest advice — then a clear written quote.

3 The Build

Patios, fencing, turf and features installed by our own team using quality materials, kept tidy throughout.

4 The Reveal

A final tidy, a walk-round with you, and aftercare advice — all backed by our 5-year workmanship guarantee.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ben and his team have done a splendid job on our new driveway and garden paving. They were well organised and worked tirelessly in spite of the 35 degree heatwave. The final result is immaculate and the attention to detail shines through. Highly recommended and be sure to allow sufficient lead time because these guys are busy.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Class job from start to finish. Ben helped with all the dropped kerb information I needed and guided me through the whole process. He did two tarmacked drives for me with all the relevant drainage. Really polite lads working for him and nothing was ever too much trouble. Quick turnaround too. Highly recommended.

Landscaping FAQs

How much does it cost to landscape a garden in Cheltenham?

It depends on the size of the garden and which services are involved — a single patio is very different to a full redesign. We give honest, itemised quotes after a free site visit, so you can see exactly what you're paying for.

How long does a garden transformation take?

Anything from a few days for a patio or fencing job to a couple of weeks for a full garden, depending on scope, access and groundwork. We give you a realistic timescale in your quote.

Do you design the garden, or just build what I ask for?

Both. If you know exactly what you want, we'll build it. If you're not sure, we'll suggest a layout and options that suit how you want to use the space and your budget.

Is artificial grass or real turf better?

It depends on how you'll use the garden. Real turf looks and feels natural but needs mowing and care; artificial grass stays green and usable all year with almost no upkeep — popular with families, pets and shadier gardens. We'll give you honest advice for your situation.

Do you clear the existing garden before you start?

Yes — clearance is part of the job. We clear the space and remove the waste before we begin the build, so we're working from a clean, level start rather than around the old garden.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes — all our workmanship is guaranteed for 5 years. Many of the materials we use also carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we'll explain for your project.

Which areas around Cheltenham do you cover?

Cheltenham and the surrounding Gloucestershire area, including Prestbury, Charlton Kings, Leckhampton, Up Hatherley, Warden Hill and Benhall, plus out towards Gloucester. Not sure if we reach you? Just ask.
