About Us...

James studied horticulture and Garden Design at Pershore College in Worcestershire to HND level and on graduation moved to London in 2001 to work for Clifton Nurseries and the London based landscaping firm Gardenlink. "For four years I was lucky enough to build and maintain some lovely gardens and work with well known garden designers such as Andy Sturgeon and Jinny Blom. This helped build my experience and fuel my passion for gardening".

James then became Landscaping Manager for the Boma Garden Company based in North London and managed many new gardens projects for a further 5 years.

In 2010 James moved to North Dorset and set up his own business James Foster Landscaping. Now in its 6th year James currently employs one person and works with local sub-contractors to create and maintain gardens. "We specialise in high quality garden maintenance, planting design and supply as well as the full range of garden Landscaping services. Garden consultations and estimates are free and I'm able to assist with garden design and planting suggestions"

More Information...

Landscaping
Our landscaping service includes all aspects of garden construction, whether it's a new patio or walling, timber decking, fencing, pergola or perhaps a wildlife pond. We can advise on materials available and give free quotations based on a detailed site meeting with the client. We are able to work with garden designers or directly with the client to ensure the project runs smoothly.

Garden and planting design:
We can advise on alterations to existing gardens, produce creative planting plans or design garden concept sketches or plans. All our garden landscaping schemes are closely project managed by us ensuring the design is implemented correctly.

Garden Maintenance
We offer a high quality garden maintenance service, either on a regular basis (minimum of monthly gardening session) or on a once off basis (Spring / Autumn gardening sessions). The service includes pretty much all gardening jobs including grass cutting, lawn maintenance, hedge cutting, weeding borders and pruning as well as specialist pruning such as fruit trees, Wisteria and Roses. We have a range of equipment to help keep gardens tidy and provide access to tall trees or climbers.

Regular garden maintenance:
We offer a regular garden maintenance service with a minimum session length of 8 man hours based on weekly, fortnightly or monthly frequency. Sessions dates and times are pre-booked, and regular gardening customers benefit from a discounted hourly rate. We can tailor the service to your garden needs, your budget and your expectations of your garden to determine the frequency and length of the gardening sessions.

Hedge laying
Maintaining hedges is vitally important in shaping the look of the countryside. Sadly, many are now neglected as the agricultural work force has declined. We offer a hedge laying service using the Dorset style and are fully insured to fell trees within the hedge if needed.
Typically woodland and hedge laying work is carried out between November and March to avoid bird nesting seasons.
