GARDENS WE HAVE FINISHED
Every job photo on this site is one of ours, taken on the job. No other firm’s work.
WE CLEAR IT, DESIGN IT AND BUILD IT
However overgrown it is, and whatever you want it to become.
CLEAR IT
Nothing is too far gone. We take gardens back to bare ground and start again.
- Trees felled and dismantled
- Stumps ground out completely
- Hedges reduced or removed
- Overgrowth, brambles and scrub
- Old sheds, slabs, fencing and rubble
- Every bit of it taken away by us
DESIGN IT
Worked out on site with you, by the people who’ll actually build it.
- Layout and how you’ll use the space
- Levels, terracing and retaining
- Drainage sorted before anything is laid
- Materials chosen to suit the house
- Planting that works in this soil
- Honest advice on what won’t work
BUILD IT
Groundwork, hard landscaping and finishing, all carried out by our own team.
- Patios, paving and paths
- Driveways and hardstanding
- Walls, brickwork and steps
- Fencing, gates and decking
- Turfing and new lawns
- Planting and finishing
The clearing, the groundwork and the build are all done by our own team, so there’s one person answerable for the finished garden. On larger planting schemes we bring in a specialist planter — you’ll know beforehand.
WHAT WE DO
Hard landscaping, garden design and specialist tree work across Bucks and Herts.
GARDEN DESIGN
Start with a plan rather than a pile of slabs. We work out levels, drainage, planting and how you actually want to use the space — then build it. Because the people designing it are the people building it, nothing gets lost in translation.
Learn more ›PATIOS & PAVING
Natural stone, porcelain and block paving laid on properly prepared bases. Correct falls, drainage and pointing so it stays flat and weed-free.
Learn more ›DRIVEWAYS
Block paving, resin-bound and gravel driveways built to take vehicle loads. Full excavation, sub-base, edging and drainage to current standards.
Learn more ›FENCING
Closeboard, feather-edge, panel and post-and-rail fencing. Concrete-set posts, treated timber, and old fencing removed and disposed of.
Learn more ›TREE REMOVAL & SURGERY
Felling, sectional dismantling, crown reduction, pruning and stump grinding by NPTC-qualified climbers. TPO and conservation area work handled properly.
Learn more ›TURFING & LAWNS
New lawns laid on properly prepared and levelled ground, with the soil put right first. Cultivated turf or wildflower and meadow turf where it suits the garden better.
Learn more ›FROM FIRST CALL TO FINISHED GARDEN
We don’t price gardens over the phone. Every garden is different — the levels, the access, the soil, what you actually want out of it. So we come and look first, then price it properly.
Book a site visit
Call, or fill in the form and we’ll ring you back to arrange a time that suits you. Evenings and Saturdays are fine.
We talk it all through
We walk the garden together and go through your ideas properly. We sketch out a rough plan on the spot, take all the measurements we need, and tell you honestly what will work, what won’t and what we’d do differently. Bring photos or cuttings if you have them.
Your quotation within 48 hours
We price it up properly and your full written quotation is with you within 48 hours of the visit — the works broken down, the materials specified and a timescale. Not a figure scribbled on the back of a card. Take your time over it and compare it against anyone else.
We build it
Agreed dates, the same team throughout, and every bit of waste taken away with us. The price we quoted is the price you pay.
WHY BUCKS & HERTS CHOOSE CONNOR FLETCHER
Genuinely local to Bucks and Herts
Office in Berkhamsted, yard at Cholesbury, and working across both counties every week — Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead as much as the Bucks villages. We know the clay soil, the drainage problems and the access issues on these properties because we deal with them constantly.
Landscaping and tree work in one team
Most firms do one or the other. Grinding out a stubborn stump before a patio goes down, or reducing a tree that overshadows a new lawn, happens on the same job rather than becoming your problem to coordinate.
Licensed to take the waste away
We hold a waste carrier licence, so spoil, turf, arisings and old slabs leave with us and are disposed of legally. Hardcore is recycled, wood chip goes for biomass, soil is screened and timber is shredded.
NPTC-qualified for the tree work
Chainsaw, aerial rescue and felling certificates held and current. It matters for your insurance as much as ours, and it is what separates an arborist from a man with a saw.
Priced properly, once
A written quote after we have seen the job, with the specification set out. No day-rate creep and no mid-job surprises once the ground is open.
You deal with Connor
The person who quotes the job is the person on site running it. No sales rep, and no handover to a crew you have never met. If a specialist comes in for a big planting scheme, you’ll know about it beforehand.
AREAS WE SERVE
Based in Berkhamsted, working right across Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead are two of our busiest patches — our office line is an 01442 number for that reason. If your town isn’t listed, call and ask.
What happens when I get in touch?
We arrange a site visit at a time that suits you. It’s free and there’s no obligation attached. We walk the garden with you, talk your ideas through properly, sketch out a rough plan and take the measurements we need. Your detailed written quotation is with you within 48 hours of the visit — the works broken down, materials specified and a timescale.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Not an honest one. Levels, access, drainage and what’s under the surface change a job enormously, and a number given blind is either padded to cover the unknowns or gets revised upwards once work starts. We’d rather come and look. It takes half an hour and costs you nothing.
Do you charge for the visit or the quote?
No. Both are free and carry no obligation. If you decide to go elsewhere, that’s absolutely fine — you keep the quote and there’s no chasing.
Do you take the waste away?
Yes. We hold a waste carrier licence, so all spoil, old slabs, turf and tree arisings leave site with us and are dealt with properly — hardcore is recycled, wood chip goes for biomass, soil is screened and timber is shredded.
Do I need permission to remove a tree?
Often, yes. If the tree carries a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a conservation area — and large parts of Chesham, Amersham and the Chalfonts do — you must give Buckinghamshire Council formal notice before any work starts. For a conservation area that is six weeks’ notice; for a TPO it is a full application. We handle the paperwork as part of the job. Working without it is a criminal offence and the fines are substantial.
How long does a typical garden project take?
It depends on the size of the job and the ground conditions, so we give you a timeline with the quote rather than a guess over the phone. What we will always do is tell you straight away if weather is going to move the dates, rather than leaving you wondering where we are.
Are you insured and qualified?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance and can send you the certificate before work starts, and our tree work is carried out by NPTC-qualified climbers. Ask any contractor for both. Anyone who hesitates is telling you something.
What areas do you cover?
Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Our office is in Berkhamsted and our yard is at Cholesbury, and we work regularly in Chesham, Hemel Hempstead, Amersham, Tring, Great Missenden, the Chalfonts, Gerrards Cross, Beaconsfield, Rickmansworth, Watford, High Wycombe and Aylesbury, plus the villages in between. Call to check anywhere else — we travel for the right job.
