Richard Adam landscapes
What customers say
A full four-month redesign of back and front gardens, driveway, patios, fencing and outbuildings stands out among the projects described by clients of this Nacton landscaping business, alongside smaller commissions such as a 130-metre hedge and a bespoke pergola. Richard is named consistently as the person guiding each job from initial planning through to completion, with clients repeatedly praising his readiness to listen to their ideas while offering suggestions they had not considered themselves. Porcelain paving, retaining sleepers, raised beds, new lawns and specialist fencing appear frequently among the elements installed, and finish quality along with attention to detail draw regular comment. Several accounts describe gardens that had previously felt closed in, unsafe or simply unused being converted into open, multi-purpose spaces suited to entertaining and everyday family life. Individual team members are credited by name for working hard and conscientiously on site, and clients note that questions or changes raised during a project were dealt with promptly rather than causing delay. A theme running through the feedback is how manageable large-scale builds were made to feel despite their complexity. Operating from early morning into the evening throughout the week, with Saturday and Sunday hours as well, the business accommodates clients needing flexibility for site visits and planning discussions around these extensive garden transformations.

Can’t recommend Richard and his crew highly enough. We had a big four month project fully landscaping our back and front gardens , drive, patios, fences, borders, and various outbuildings as well as levelling and planting etc. He made what could have been an incredibly stressful process a real pleasure. Every worry, unexpected circumstance or decision needed as we went through he made as painless as possible and as economical as possible - without at any stage lowering the standard/quality of every piece of work, which was outstanding. He and the team are really honest about everything they do and transparent with every cost and activity - always ensuring we were fully informed on the pros and cons of every decision and option. Richard in particular went out of his way at every possible point to help us on the journey and ensure we got the best possible result and to the highest possible standard - and delivering exactly what we wanted done but better than we ever imagined. He has fantastic taste too, making suggestions throughout for the best/most appropriate materials and placement whilst keeping true to our personal taste. Everyone who’s passed our house since the work has been done has gone out of their way to comment on the quality of the work done and the attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rich and team to anyone - whatever size of project.
A missive thank you to Richard and his team. I have found Richard from google. He is a very professional, and vastly knowledgeable person. When I shared my ideas and plans, he licensed my thoughts and explained pros and cons. He also has given some nice plans which were really great. His team started work on time as scheduled. Tim, Peter, George and Jake all are extremely hardworking and conscientious about their work. From start to finish they did an amazing job. I am really impressed and I would never hesitate to use it again.Richard came back to check the work after few weeks to make sure all was going well and that we had no complaints. We are very happy with his service . I would highly recommend them.
When I bought my house it is safe to say the garden was a massive challenge. I sourced Richard Adam’s Landscaping as the primary contractor to deliver a total transformation of a failing garden into something amazing. From a drab, grey, closed in (and potentially dangerous) space to a clean, open, beautiful multi zoned, multipurpose, safe space. I couldn’t be happier with the end result! It’s been a big project, Richard and his team have been absolute professionals; their work ethic has been beyond my expectations. They have delivered the highest quality work, always with a smile and attention to detail. Polite, sensitive to the neighbours, considerate and respectful to all; but also enormous fun to work with. Their expertise on how to layout the landscaping, willingness to offer design options, commitment to the highest quality standards, being flexible to the unplanned alterations as the overall project naturally evolved is second to none. I couldn’t speak more highly of Richard and his team. I now have my forever garden for my forever home. Thank you!
Richard and his team landscaped my garden installing new retaining sleepers, large patio area, fence panels, flower beds and a new grass lawn. The finish is very good with the attention to detail high. Mid build any changes or concerns I had were listened to and acted upon if necessary. I would recommend Richard Adam Landscapes if you are after a reliable, high quality service.
We just wanted to say how impressed we have been with Richard and his team. From the initial planning meetings with Richard, he has been extremely knowledgeable and his attention to detail has been second to none. We wanted to create a seating/ entertaining area in our garden where a shed used to be. We required specialist fencing, porcelain paving, raised border and planting. Richard was on our wavelength and together with his team created a stunning area which has transformed the space. The second phase was to rebuild a matching circular patio for our dining area, and reshaping borders, planting and adding pebbles to finish. The finished result is stunning and we couldn’t be happier. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard. He has been a pleasure to work with. Thank you again Richard
A really professional job, Richard and his team go that little bit further offering advice and guidance in ensuring the project is done to the highest standard. Richard has a wealth of experience and sees things that we didn’t think of. I can’t give him and his team a higher accolade. Thoroughly recommend him to anyone. A point of note our neighbours saw his work and couldn’t wait to get in touch and subsequently had work done by him and his team.
Richard and the team transformed our garden and we are delighted with the result! The design addressed our sloping back garden and provided us with the outdoor living spaces that we wanted. The planting is fantastic and Richard's guidance was most welcome as we are not experts! We can't recommend Richard and team enough.
