Garden makeovers in Brixham

Your garden, finished

A full plan and a full build.

Garden makeovers built for Brixham gardens

A full makeover means one team from the first visit to the final tidy up. No juggling three contractors and hoping they talk to each other.

Brixham makeovers are usually about making a small, steep, awkward space genuinely usable. It is detailed work, and it is some of the most satisfying we do.

One team from first visit to final tidy up, so nothing falls between trades.

What you get

  • One plan covering the whole garden, agreed before we start
  • Groundwork, hard landscaping, building and planting all handled by us
  • A design partner brought in when the job needs formal drawings
  • A walk round together at the end before we hand it over

Working in Brixham

The ground

Brixham is built on rock and it shows. Gardens on the slopes above the harbour are often shallow soil over stone, held by old walls that have been there longer than anyone can remember. Some of those walls need attention before anything new goes near them.

Getting to the garden

The streets above the harbour are narrow, steep and often stepped, and a good number of gardens have no vehicle access at all. Parking a van within reach of the job can be the first problem to solve. Where there is no way in, every barrow load of stone and every length of timber is carried by hand. We price that honestly and say so at the quote stage, because pretending otherwise helps nobody.

The houses

Fishermen's cottages with small walled yards, terraces stepping down towards the harbour, and newer housing up at Higher Brixham where gardens are more conventional and access is easier. Down in the old town, small and awkward is normal. A garden might be twenty feet square, walled on three sides and reached through the kitchen, and it can still be turned into somewhere genuinely good to sit.
