About Birmingham's Trusted Landscapers

B&L has grown organically through word-of-mouth recommendations and repeat business. We've built our reputation by consistently delivering quality work, maintaining transparent pricing, and treating every property with the care it deserves. Our success comes from genuine customer satisfaction rather than aggressive marketing.

Our team are certified members of the British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI), ensuring our work meets national best practices. All team members undergo annual health and safety training, and several have construction backgrounds which enables us to handle structural work like retaining walls and drainage systems.

We complete over 120 projects annually, ranging from small garden maintenance to large-scale property transformations. This steady volume allows us to maintain competitive pricing while ensuring each project receives the attention it deserves. We deliberately don't overstretch ourselves to maintain quality standards.

We believe in building lasting relationships rather than one-off transactions. Over 70% of our clients choose ongoing maintenance after their initial project, and 85% of new work comes from direct referrals. We treat every property as if it were our own and maintain communication throughout and after each project.

We source over 80% of our plants and 60% of our stone from Birmingham and Midlands suppliers. This supports the local economy, reduces environmental impact, and ensures materials are suited to our climate. It also means we can respond quickly if anything needs replacing under our guarantees.

Our size allows us to maintain personal relationships with clients while having enough expertise to handle complex projects. You'll work directly with experienced professionals, not junior staff or subcontractors. Every team member takes ownership of their work and genuinely cares about the results.

We have established processes for every type of work, from initial consultation through to final cleanup. Our team's combined 65+ years of experience means we've encountered and solved most challenges before. We also conduct thorough inspections at key stages of each project.

We believe customers deserve to know exactly what they're paying for. Our quotes break down materials, labour, and timelines with no hidden costs. We offer flexible payment structures because we understand that landscaping is a significant investment for most homeowners.

We actually specialise in projects that other contractors find difficult or avoid entirely. This includes steep inclines, awkward access through houses, and complex drainage issues. Our construction backgrounds and problem-solving experience mean we can find solutions where others can't.

We've worked extensively in Rubery, Solihull, and Edgbaston, completing projects ranging from 50 square metre courtyards to luxury properties exceeding 600 square metres. This local knowledge helps us understand soil conditions, drainage patterns, and planning requirements specific to different areas.

Our guarantees aren't just marketing tools - they're backed by our track record and reputation. We provide 10-year structural guarantees and 12-month establishment guarantees because we're confident in our materials and workmanship. In the past 3 years, every client has either rehired us or referred us to others.

We choose plants and materials suited to Birmingham's climate, reducing the need for excessive watering or replacement. Our local sourcing policy reduces transport emissions, and we minimize waste through careful planning. We also advise clients on sustainable garden design choices.

As BALI members, we stay informed about industry best practices and new techniques. Our team regularly attends training sessions, and we invest in equipment and materials that improve both quality and efficiency. We're always looking for better ways to serve our clients.

Many of our relationships span years or even decades. We often start with one project, then return for additional work as families' needs change. Some clients have used us for multiple properties, and we regularly work for three generations of the same family. These long-term relationships are what we value most.

Our efficiency comes from experience and established supplier relationships, not from cutting corners. We complete over 120 projects yearly with a 98% on-time rate, which allows us to keep costs reasonable while maintaining quality. We believe value comes from lasting results, not just low prices.

Our team of 8 professionals each bring specific strengths, from design expertise to technical construction skills. Everyone is cross-trained to ensure projects can continue smoothly regardless of individual schedules. This collaborative approach means clients benefit from our collective knowledge on every project.

Communication is key - we provide regular updates and are always available to address questions or concerns. We maintain tidy work sites daily and conduct progress reviews at key stages. If anything isn't meeting expectations, we address it immediately rather than waiting until completion.

We want to continue being Birmingham's most recommended team while maintaining the personal service that sets us apart. Growth for us means serving more families well, not getting bigger for its own sake. We're committed to the same values that built our reputation - quality work, fair pricing, and genuine care for every client.
