Proper Landscaping Services in Derby
Hard-wearing patios, custom raised beds, and practical garden design built for East Midlands weather.
Why Derby Homeowners Choose Our Landscaping Team
We're a local Derby crew with over 13 years in the trade. In that time, we've spent well over a decade dealing with Derby's notoriously heavy clay soil, sorting out the drainage issues it causes in gardens across Derby, Belper, and the wider Derbyshire area.
Our 4.9-star Google rating isn't by accident. We've built our reputation by turning up when we say we will, keeping a tidy site, and doing the job right the first time using materials that actually stand up to the wet East Midlands weather.
The Work We Do
- Patio Design & Paving: We lay solid patios using durable Indian sandstone, porcelain, or block paving. We handle the entire job ourselves, from the initial dig-out and hardcore base right through to the final pointing.
- Raised Beds & Garden Design: Practical designs done with you in the loop. We only start the work once you're completely happy with the quote and the plans. Perfect for getting your plants out of the waterlogged clay soil.
- Reliable Decking: Timber and composite decking installed on a proper frame so it won't warp or rot after one wet Derby winter.

"My first experience with a gardener. The garden was totally overgrown and in terrible shape with Ivy and small trees all over the place. The guys came for about 7 hours and absolutely blitzed it. Looks fantastic and it's so great to have my garden back. Karl was the main man today and he was so friendly and a genuine nice guy. Will deffo have them back! I've attached before and after photos"
"Very professional, they did an amazing job tidying a very overgrown garden. They also took extra care to effectively communicate with me, ensuring I was happy with the results."
"Just had my front lawn, tree and garden done as it definitely needed maintenance. I am beyond pleased with amazing service and results. It was smooth and reasonably priced given the condition it was in but now it looks stellar. Thanks to M&J Gardens as they have smashed it"
