Bespoke garden design, build and professional grounds maintenance across Essex. Fully insured, BALI-accredited, and trusted by homeowners and businesses for nearly 40 years.
DRH Landscapes has been designing and building outdoor spaces across Essex since 1987. From our base in Witham, we’ve spent nearly four decades earning a reputation for careful craftsmanship, qualified horticultural knowledge and the personal care and attention that comes from a family run business.
We work with homeowners creating a garden to enjoy for years, and with facilities managers who need commercial grounds kept to a consistently high standard. Whichever you are, you get the same personal service from us: one team managing your project from the first sketch through to the final planting, and a team member to call during the work and long after it’s finished.
Because we’re an Essex firm working on Essex gardens, we understand the local ground conditions, drainage and climate, and we plan every scheme around them, whether that’s a period property near Colchester or a new-build development outside Chelmsford.
We cover every part of the outdoor environment, combining hard and soft landscaping so your property looks right all year round rather than just for one season.
We maintain grounds for schools, business parks, industrial estates, new housing developments and retail sites across Essex, working to a planned schedule that keeps your site safe, c and welcoming. Our teams work to full health and safety standards, with documentation provided for facilities managers.
Our design-and-build service turns tired, overgrown or unworkable gardens into spaces you actually want to spend time in. We help you choose materials and planting that suit how you live and how much upkeep you want.
Choosing who installs your driveway, patio, whether it be a grand design for your garden or maintain your grounds is a big decision. The work has to last and the people doing it have to be trustworthy. Here’s what sets us apart.
We hold full public and employer liability insurance and are a registered waste carrier with the Environment Agency, so excavation spoil and garden waste are removed and disposed of legally. We're also members of the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI) and an accredited Marshalls installer, which means we work to recognised industry standards, not our own.
We plan before we build. Our garden design and build service maps out layout, levels, materials and planting before a single stone is laid, so you know exactly what you're getting and why.
Our staff aren't general labourers, they're knowledgeable gardeners and time-served tradesmen who take real pride in the finish. It's why clients tell us our sites are immaculate and "nothing is too much trouble."
From the first excavation to the final planting scheme, we manage every detail and keep you informed at each stage. We also keep sites clean and considerate, when one project meant carrying every material through a client's garage and kitchen, we kept both spotless from start to finish. That's the standard that residents have come to expect from us.
With nearly 40 years of industry experience, we provide a full suite of landscaping solutions for both large-scale commercial contracts and private residential projects.
