The UK's Top 100 Landscapers for 2026
Patios, lawns, walls and planting judged by the people who live with them every day. These are the 100 landscaping firms across the UK with the strongest Google record, each rated 4.8 or higher by at least 50 customers.
The best landscapers in the UK for 2026, based on Google reviews, are The Good Gardener in Brighton and Hove (5.0 from 431 reviews), All Terrain Landscaping in Merton (5.0 from 426 reviews) and Birch Landscapes in Milton Keynes (5.0 from 315 reviews). Below are all 100, ranked, from 45 counties across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
How the Top 100 Were Chosen
Some landscaping faults, such as slabs that sink or water that pools against the house, only show once a garden has been through some weather. A single glowing review written on the day the patio was finished cannot tell you much about that. A rating that holds across many gardens can. So to qualify, a landscaper had to reach 4.8 stars or better on Google across no fewer than 50 reviews, with a business profile that has not been closed, and 461 of the 3,724 landscapers we list managed it. The order then gives a rating more weight the more reviews support it, so a firm averaging 5.0 over 300 reviews comes ahead of one with the same average over 60.
Without a limit, the list would lean heavily towards the areas with the most landscapers. We capped each county at three places and Greater London at ten, so the 2026 list reaches gardens right across the UK. Payment plays no part, either in getting onto the list or in where a firm appears on it.

Where the Winners Are
The 2026 Top 100 comes from 45 counties: 85 in England, 11 in Scotland, 1 in Wales and 3 in Northern Ireland. Greater London has 10 of the 100, and no other county has more than three, so the list reflects the whole of the UK rather than only its biggest cities.
Between them the 100 hold 15,896 Google reviews, with an average rating of 4.97 out of 5.
Why the Best Landscapers Start Below Ground
Landscaping is not a licensed trade, so there is no official register proving a firm can build a patio that lasts. That is why trade body membership and a record of finished gardens carry so much weight. BALI, the British Association of Landscape Industries, vets its Accredited members for the standard of their workmanship and their health and safety practice, and binds them to a code of conduct. Members of the Association of Professional Landscapers are, by the association's own account, assessed by industry experts, inspected on a regular basis and all accredited by TrustMark, the government endorsed quality scheme. Where design is part of the job, the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers is the professional body for designers. Any of these is a good sign but none is a guarantee, so check membership on the body's own website.
The clearest mark of a good landscaper is a detailed written specification, because the groundwork nobody sees is where corners get cut. A thin sub-base (the compacted crushed stone, often called MOT Type 1, that sits under paving), slabs set on dabs of mortar instead of a full bed, and no fall to carry rainwater away from the house are the faults that surface later. Before you accept a price, make sure it states:
- the depth of excavation and the depth of sub-base
- the named materials for the surface, the bedding and the edging
- how water will drain, including any soakaway
- who removes the waste and who keeps any surplus materials
- the payment stages, with a sum held back until faults are put right (the RHS suggests about 15 per cent)
A careful landscaper also knows where garden work meets the law. In England, paving more than five square metres of a front garden with a surface that does not drain to a permeable area needs planning permission. Fences and walls can go up to one metre high beside a road and two metres elsewhere without it, and decking more than 30cm above the ground needs permission. These allowances apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes. Trees with a Tree Preservation Order cannot be cut, lopped or have their roots damaged without the council's written consent, and work on trees in a conservation area needs six weeks' notice. Wales may differ and Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules, so check with your council if you live outside England or are unsure.
Two more checks are easy to overlook. Anyone who takes your garden waste away must be a registered waste carrier, and the register is public, so you can search it first. If the job involves spraying weedkiller or other pesticides, the RHS says the person doing it should have Safe Use of Pesticides certificates, PA1 and often PA6 as well. Our guides on choosing a landscape gardener you can trust and planning a garden design before you hire go through each step, and the block paving driveway guide shows what a full driveway quote should cover.

Frequently Asked Questions About the UK's Top 100 Landscapers
Who is the best landscaper in the UK?
Based on Google reviews, the highest ranked landscaper in our UK Top 100 for 2026 is The Good Gardener in Brighton and Hove, with 5.0 stars from 431 reviews, followed by All Terrain Landscaping and Birch Landscapes. The full ranked list of 100 is on this page.
How did you choose the UK's top 100 landscapers?
Out of the 3,724 landscapers we list, 461 had at least 50 Google reviews averaging 4.8 or higher and an active Google profile. We put those in order with a score that rewards a high rating more strongly when many reviews back it up, then allowed no more than three from any one county and ten from Greater London. The top 100 after that limit make up the 2026 list.
Do landscapers pay to appear in the top 100?
No. Money cannot buy a landscaper a place or a better spot in the order. Every position is decided by public Google ratings and review counts, scored in the same way for every landscaper we list. A firm that falls short of the rating, review or open profile rules is not on the list, however large its business or however impressive its portfolio.
What questions should you ask a landscaper before hiring?
Find out if you are being given a firm quote or only an estimate, what depth of sub-base and which materials it allows for, how surface water will drain and who removes the waste. Ask to see finished gardens or speak to past customers, check public liability insurance, plus professional indemnity if they are designing the garden, and confirm any BALI or APL membership. Agree payment stages in writing and keep any deposit to 25 per cent at most.
What is the average cost to landscape a garden in the UK?
Published guides give rough bands. A small refresh is around £2,500 to £8,000, a mid size redesign £8,000 to £25,000, and a large transformation £25,000 to £45,000 or more, with London higher. Design fees, VAT and waste removal can sit on top. These figures are only a starting point and prices rise over time, so a written quote for your own garden is the number that counts.
What is the most expensive part of landscaping?
Often it is the part you never see. For an artificial lawn, one guide puts the sub-base and groundwork at roughly 60 per cent of the bill, with the grass itself the smaller cost. On a patio, labour typically makes up 40 to 60 per cent of the total, and poor access can add £1,000 or more, a figure that rises over time. Cutting back on groundwork is a false saving, because cracked and sunken drives usually trace back to a weak sub-base.
What is the best time of year to have landscaping done?
It depends on what you are having done. Lawns and planting follow the seasons. Turf is usually laid in spring or autumn when the soil is warm, lawn seed does best sown in early autumn or mid spring, and deciduous hedging is planted from autumn to late winter. Before any hedge work, a landscaper should check for nesting birds, because damaging an active wild bird's nest, even one still under construction, is an offence.
