Garden & Landscaping Services in Westbourne

Westbourne sits neatly between Bournemouth and Poole and has one of the strongest mixes of garden types we work with: leafy Victorian avenues with mature back gardens, converted flats with shared courtyards, and townhouses with compact, walled-in plots. Each calls for a very different approach, and we treat them accordingly.

Many of the larger period gardens around Alum Chine and Alumhurst Road have established trees, hedges and beds that have been quietly overgrown for years. Sensitive restoration — reshaping rather than removing — usually gets a far better result than starting over. On the smaller flat and townhouse plots closer to the village, the priority is making a small space feel intentional: clean edges, considered planting, the right paving and a good gravel or path layout.

Soil here trends sandy with pockets of richer loam under mature canopy, and the close coastal position means salt wind is still a factor on exposed gardens above the chines. We plan planting accordingly and don't promise plants we wouldn't put in our own gardens locally.
