Welcome to 'The Garden Makeover Company'

Transforming Outdoor Spaces Across Cardiff, Newport & Beyond

At The Garden Makeover Company, we specialise in breathing life back into outdoor spaces — whether they’ve been forgotten, neglected, or simply need a professional touch. From large gardens stretching over an acre to compact courtyards, balconies, and verandas, we’re passionate about garden care and maintenance, making your outdoor space somewhere you love to be.

If your garden feels tired, overgrown, or underused, we’re here to help. With years of experience, a deep understanding of planting and design, and a commitment to quality workmanship, we offer a complete service tailored to the individual needs of every garden and every client.

A Specialist Service in Garden Revival

Gardens are living, changing spaces. Over time, even the most beautiful garden can become overgrown, lose its structure, or simply no longer reflect your needs or style. That’s where we come in.

Whether it’s through restoring what’s already there or creating something completely new, The Garden Makeover Company provides the expertise needed to turn outdoor spaces into vibrant, healthy, and enjoyable environments. We work on projects of all shapes and sizes — from sprawling rural plots to modern city balconies — always with care, creativity, and attention to detail.

"We believe every garden has potential and through our garden care and maintenance, we’re here to help you unlock it".

What We Do

Our garden makeover services are wide-ranging, allowing us to offer a complete transformation or just a helping hand — depending on what your space needs.

Garden Makeovers & Restorations

We specialise in revitalising gardens that have fallen into disrepair or simply need a new lease of life. Our garden care and maintenance work may include:

• Reclaiming overgrown or neglected areas

• Replanting with fresh, sustainable, seasonal choices

• Redefining beds, borders, and lawns

• Refreshing layout and structure to suit your lifestyle

• Making outdoor spaces easier to manage

"Whether it’s a subtle refresh or a complete transformation, we tailor our approach to suit your garden’s needs and your vision".

Planting & Garden Design Ideas

Plants are at the heart of every beautiful garden. We can help you choose and introduce a range of plants — from hardy perennials to seasonal colour — to bring beauty, structure, and interest to your space all year round.

We work with what you already have, where possible, and suggest new planting schemes that suit your garden’s conditions and your personal style. Whether you dream of a classic cottage garden, a low-maintenance retreat, or a bold, modern space, we can bring it to life.

Regular Maintenance & One-Off Tidies

Sometimes all a garden needs is some expert care. We provide both regular maintenance and one-off tidy-ups to keep your space looking its best. Our garden care and maintenance services include:

• Pruning and trimming

• Weeding and mulching

• Lawn care and edging

• Hedge shaping

• Seasonal preparation

This is ideal if you want to enjoy your garden without the hassle — or if you just need help getting it back under control.

Patio, Driveway & Path Cleaning

Tired of looking at moss-covered paving or slippery driveways? We also clean and clear patios, driveways, and garden paths — removing dirt, weeds, and algae to restore surfaces and keep them safe and attractive. It’s amazing how much difference this can make to the feel of your whole garden.

All Sizes & All Types of Gardens Welcome

We understand that no two gardens are the same, and that’s what makes our work so rewarding. From city-centre terraces to suburban back gardens and countryside plots, we work with spaces of all shapes and sizes.

Even small spaces like balconies and verandas can be transformed with the right eye and ideas. We know how to make the most of limited room — whether it’s through clever planting, vertical gardening, or compact layout solutions.

'If you’ve got outdoor space, we’ve got ideas for it".

Local Knowledge, Professional Standards

Based in South Wales, we cover Cardiff, Newport, and all surrounding areas. We bring not only years of hands-on gardening and landscaping experience but also a deep understanding of local conditions, soil types, and weather patterns. This means we can offer practical, lasting solutions that work in your garden — not just on paper.

We are proud to provide a friendly, reliable, and professional service that’s as rooted in personal care as it is in horticultural knowledge. We take the time to listen, plan thoughtfully, and always tidy up after ourselves!

Free Consultations – No Obligation

We offer a free consultation service for all our clients. This gives us the chance to visit your garden, understand your needs, and offer honest, helpful advice — with no pressure and no obligation.

Whether you’re just starting to think about what’s possible or you have a clear vision in mind, we’re happy to chat and help you explore your options.
