Garden Renovations in Vale of Glamorgan
- We Fix Tired Gardens
Garden renovations that rebuild the space properly
Some gardens need more than a new patio or fresh turf. If the space feels awkward, uneven or hard to use, We can bring the layout, groundwork and wider landscaping services together as one planned rebuild.
A better layout
Turn wasted corners and poor access into space you can actually use.
Safer, easier levels
Level changes can make steep or uneven ground more practical day to day.
One joined-up plan
Patios, turf, drainage and boundaries are planned as one connected space.
Built for daily use
Preparation helps the garden handle weather, foot traffic and daily use.

Landscape Design
Every makeover starts with a plan. We help you visualise the transformation, ensuring the layout works for your lifestyle whether that is zoning for entertainment or safety for children.
Hard Landscaping
The structural “bones” of the garden. We install patios and paths, sleeper walls, and steps using durable materials like porcelain, sandstone, or granite that stand the test of time.
Soft Landscaping
This brings the garden to life. We prepare the soil and install new turf, planting beds, or low-maintenance artificial grass to contrast beautifully against the stone features.
Garden Levels
We flatten sloping gardens or create interest with raised levels. Using brickwork or sleepers, we build structural retaining walls that maximise your usable flat space.
Drainage Systems
Essential for Essex clay soils. We install soakaways and discreet ACO channels to ensure rainwater flows away from your home and prevents your new lawn from becoming boggy.
- Gardening Options
Gardening Renovations For Better Outdoor Living
Garden Clearances
Overgrown or worn areas are stripped back so levels, access and layout can be assessed properly.
Patio Rebuilds
A new patio can create stronger seating space when the base, drainage and falls are right.
Boundary Renewals
Old fencing, gates and screening can be replaced to improve privacy, safety and structure.
Garden Decking
Worn boards can be swapped for a sturdier platform that suits access, levels and daily use.
Whether it needs clearing, paving, new boundaries or replacement decking, the whole space can be planned as one practical rebuild.
What affects the
cost, timing and planning
Garden renovation cost depends on size, access, materials, dig out work, drainage and how much of the space needs rebuilding.
Soft ground, poor drainage and uneven levels can add preparation before the visible work can begin.
Timings depend on the size of the garden, weather, material choices and how many areas are changing.
Bigger level changes, retaining structures or drainage changes may need checks with Vale of Glamorgan planning guidance and Welsh planning permission guidance.

Why Cooksey suits
bigger garden rebuilds

- FAQs
Questions people ask before starting a full renovation
Useful answers if you are planning a complete garden makeover and want to understand cost, planning, access and how the work is managed.
Book Free Site Visit
A site visit helps assess the garden, access and levels before a renovation quote is prepared.
How do I get a quote for a garden renovation?
A site visit is the best starting point because pricing depends on access, ground condition, materials, drainage and how much of the garden is being rebuilt. After the visit, Cooksey can provide a written quote for the work discussed.
Can the renovation include patios, turf and boundaries?
Yes. A garden renovation can include turf laying, fencing, drainage, levelling and patio installation as part of one plan. This helps the whole space feel better connected and avoids separate jobs clashing later.
Can you help renovating my garden if I do not know what I want yet?
Yes. You do not need a final design plan before getting advice. Cooksey can look at what is not working now, how you want to use the space and which changes would make the biggest practical difference.

Posted on Google Kelly NewtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cooksey Landscape Gardening did a fantastic job on my garden. It was an absolute jungle before, and they have completely transformed it. They removed all the trees, bushes, and the pond, levelled the entire area, and then laid new grass along with building a back wall. The difference is amazing. The team were lovely to work with, very professional, and completed everything in such a short time. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their garden.Posted on Google The AbbottsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
