    Great communication/ hard working / precise

    Posted 26 October

    Really great experience from start to finish. Excellent communication for the quote, they turned up on time when they said they would and built a wooden gazebo kit which I had failed to do due to its complexity. Very polite hard working team so highly recommended and able to sort out issues on the fly.

    Raised bed and decking

    Posted 12 October

    Absolutely fantastic! Ivan’s communication from start to finish has been outstanding- and he was genuinely excited to complete the project. Once on site Ivan and his team were professional and their attention to detail is second to none. They went above and beyond to ensure their work looked incredible. Roll on the spring when my wife and I can get out and enjoy many hours relaxing on the decking! Would recommend Ivan and his team to all my friends and family.

    Design and build new build garden

    Posted 19 September

    Ivan and team worked so hard on a difficult sloping site. By using sleepers paving and blocks our garden was transformed into a lovely show garden. Ivan even returned to modify our initial design so that a glass conservatory could be fitted.

Hi there! I’m Ivan, Director and founder of Avid Landscapes Ltd.


I’d like to share a little about how I started this company, along with the values, professionalism, and pride that I carry into every project.


  • I began landscaping in 2020 and was quickly drawn to the fine details and unique touches that make each job different.
  • Over the next three years, I focused on expanding my knowledge and learning new skills to deliver work that not only looked sleek and clean but also stood the test of time.
  • Having previously worked in the motor trade restoring classic cars such as Porsches and old Jaguars, I had already developed a sharp eye for detail—something I carried straight into landscaping.


  • My progress was rapid. Within three years, I was running a separate team for my previous firm, doing what I loved most: creating beautiful spaces and leaving customers happy, one smile at a time.
  • I took great pride in every single project, from paving and decking to garden rooms, driveways, and more.


  • But my hunger to keep learning and refining my craft only grew stronger.
  • At the start of 2025, I decided it was time to set out under my own name—and so Avid Landscapes Ltd was founded.


We’re not just your everyday landscapers.


We bring a strong depth of expertise and ability to every project, combining professionalism with a friendly, customer-focused approach.


Our mission is to bring your ideas to life, build strong relationships, and set the highest standards in the industry.


Professionalism and customer satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do, and to this day I remain proud to put my name on every project.


So, what does that mean for you as a customer?


It means that no matter how big or small the job, it will be completed to the highest standard, with no corners cut.


From start to finish, we work with your vision in mind—transforming your ideas into reality.
