Real Work. Real Results.
Project 1:
Timber Structure
Type of Work:
Timber Pergola, Groundworks, Decorative Rockery, Pathway Installation, Wall Repointing
-
The garden had plenty of potential but needed some thoughtful landscaping to make better use of the space. The layout was uneven, and areas around the home weren’t being used to their full advantage. The homeowners wanted to create a more inviting and structured outdoor area they could enjoy and make the most of.
-
We began by removing several tonnes of earth to level out the landscape and laid a solid hardcore base, finished with Cotswold chippings for a clean, tidy surface. A bespoke timber pergola was then built to create a focal point and provide a shaded seating area.
To tie everything together, we installed a Cotswolds chipping path behind the kitchen extension, built a decorative rockery, and repointed an existing wall to restore and finish the space with care.
-
The garden is now a smart, well-structured space that looks fantastic and is easy to maintain. The pergola adds charm and function, while the chipping areas and rockery bring texture and interest. It’s a completely transformed space that the homeowners can now enjoy year-round.
5 stars all round!
“Gary and Buckland Property Maintenance are superb and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering external work.
Right from initial contact, Gary was highly responsive, incredibly easy to deal with and 100% reliable.They undertook a variety of external works over a 10 day period including the erection of a pergola, digging out and removal of a large area of earth to create a solid gravel base for a seating area, creation of a new gravel pathway, rebuilding and repointing a wall, lifting, relaying and cleaning a patio and the creation of a rockery.
Having undergone an extensive renovation in the last 3 years, with many trades coming and going, I can honestly say that Garry and his father had the highest work ethic I have seen -they literally don’t stop all day! Not only do they work incredibly hard, the quality of their work is really excellent and they are very polite and considerate to have at your property."

Heartily recommend Gary
“We are so grateful to Gary and his team for transforming our garden and driveway! From shabby, weed-filled corner to smart, brand-new greenhouse with raised beds, from dirty patio with more grass in the cracks than the lawns, to clean, filled flagstones, from sparsely covered drive to an even one and from a broken gate to a brand new one! Everywhere looks so fabulous now! The whole team were timely and polite, the site was kept clean all the time and all debris was removed at the end. Gary is a lovely man, and kept me updated regularly, so I always knew what was happening, and when. I really heartily recommend Gary and will be using his services again soon.”

Project 3: Waterlogged Garden Transformation
Type of Work:
Drainage Solutions, Patio Renewal, Lawn Installation, Raised Flower Bed
-
This garden was once a sodden mess - a waterlogged, underused space that was in the words of the customer more of a burden than a pleasure to look at. The homeowner was struggling with drainage issues, and the existing patio slabs were uneven and worn.
-
To turn this garden into a beautiful and functional space, we tackled the issues from the ground up:
Soakaway Installation: We added a soakaway to improve drainage and prevent future waterlogging.
Raised Flower Bed: For added dimension and a natural boundary, we built a raised flower bed, perfect for plants and flowers.
Lawn Installation: We laid fresh, vibrant turf to create a green, welcoming space.
Patio Makeover: The existing patio slabs were levelled and re-laid to ensure a smooth, sturdy surface for outdoor living.
-
The final space is not only functional but also beautiful - no more water pooling, and a garden that's now a joy to spend time in.
Lovely people and a smashing job. Thank you so much, guys!
“They say the best way to find a reliable tradesperson is by word of mouth, which is what I did. I was recommended to call Gary as they had done wonderful work for a friend of mine.
My poor garden was a sodden mess and so depressing to look at. Gary came and took a look and advised me as to the best course of action and followed through utterly and completely, and I now have a garden that fills me with joy every time I look out of my back window.
He arrived when he said he would, quoted me a price (which was very competitive) and stuck to it and completed the job on schedule. So, whilst word of mouth is still great, you can definitely feel confident in reading reviews."

Project 4:
Fencing & Gate Installation
Type of Work: Fencing, Gate Installation, Bin Store
-
This client needed to replace their old fencing, which had become worn and ineffective, with something both functional and stylish. They also wanted to add a practical hidden bin store for convenience, along with a secure, attractive entrance with a new gate.
-
To meet the client's needs, we completed the following:
Fencing Replacement: We removed all the old fencing and installed high-quality 6'x4' featheredge panels for a clean and durable finish that will stand the test of time.
Hidden Bin Store: We designed and installed a discreet bin store, keeping unsightly bins out of view while maintaining easy access for the homeowner.
Wessex Gate: We added a stunning 5-bar Wessex gate with sturdy 8-inch round top posts, giving the property a welcoming yet secure entrance.
-
The finished project not only looks fantastic but provides the durability and practicality the client wanted - plus the added bonus of a neat and tidy bin storage solution.
The quality of the work is fantastic.
“Gary is super friendly and incredibly professional. The quality of service and work is fantastic.
The team communicated extremely well about when they could get the job done, and we could not be happier with the result.
Top notch service from start to finish."

Project 5:
Patio Renovation & Wall Repointing
Type of Work: Patio Renovation, Wall Repointing, Pathway Installation
-
This client wanted to restore an uneven and worn-out patio while adding a stylish, functional pathway to improve the flow of the space. Additionally, the boundary wall was in need of attention, as the coping stones had become loose and weathered over time.
-
We tackled the issues systematically to ensure a durable, attractive result:
Patio Renovation: We carefully lifted all uneven areas of the patio, levelled the surface, and installed a new brindle-coloured block paving pathway running through the centre for a fresh, modern look.
Slab Re-laying: The existing patio slabs were cleaned and carefully re-laid on both sides of the new pathway, ensuring everything fit together perfectly.
Wall Restoration: The coping stones on the boundary wall were removed, rebedded, and repointed on both sides to restore their finish and ensure the wall’s structural integrity.
-
The client now has a safe, beautiful patio area with a modern, tidy pathway and a solid, restored boundary wall. The space is not only more attractive but also much safer and durable for long-term use.
Great job, done efficiently
“Everything was left tidy at the end of each day. Gary was good at communicating and talking through the job. The renovated patio area and repointed wall are now safe and look good. Thanks, Gary. Will be in touch again!”

Project 6:
Full Garden Makeover
Type of Work:
Full Landscaping, Groundworks, Pathways, Planting Features, Garden Reshaping, Surface Installation
-
The garden had great potential but needed a complete refresh to make the space more functional, attractive, and easier to look after. The homeowners were looking for a cohesive design that would bring structure to the space and create clearly defined areas for relaxing, entertaining, and everyday use.
-
We carried out a full garden renovation, beginning with essential groundwork and preparation. The space was relevelled and reshaped to create a more practical layout.
New hardstanding areas were installed, along with fresh planting features and improved pathways to tie the garden together.
Each element was planned with long-term durability and the homeowners’ lifestyle in mind. -
The finished garden is modern, tidy, and far more enjoyable to use. With improved layout, new surfacing, and well-considered features, the space now feels brighter, more open, and perfectly tailored to how the homeowners want to spend time outdoors.
Gary and Tony are simply fantastic!
“Buckland’s came highly recommended to me. And now I can see why. I honestly can’t speak highly enough about Gary and the team. What started as a simple fence panel repair turned into a complete transformation of my front and back garden, and the results have completely exceeded my expectations.
Gary and Tony are simply fantastic. Gary really listens, gently offers advice and ideas, and clearly takes real pride in his work. Their attention to detail, knowledge, and care are second to none.
They were tidy, respectful, and communication was great from start to finish. My garden is now a peaceful, beautiful sanctuary and I couldn’t be happier.
I would recommend Bucklands to absolutely everyone. One very happy customer here!"
