    Excellent transformation and communication from start to finish

    Posted 09 March

    We couldn’t be happier with our garden’s transformation. What started as a characterless, sloping new-build lawn has been thoughtfully redesigned into tiered levels. Ollie’s quote was competitive & offered excellent value for the quality of work delivered. Ollie listened to our ideas while offering practical advice on how to navigate the slope. His recommendations for the finishes were spot on; pairing smooth porcelain paving with texture on the retaining wall - all finished with strip lighting. Team were respectful, and incredibly hardworking, even in challenging weather. Highly recommend

    A project executed to perfection.

    Posted 28 February

    O.P.L Groundworks carried out a considerable transformation of our front garden and driveway between 19th January 2026 and 23rd January. The team were unbelievably terrific. The weather was the pits!!! They shrugged it all off and executed a superb job despite the rain. The project we knew would be difficult because of the slope of the ground. They gave us exactly what we wanted to the very highest standards. Mr Lawton and his team, we would trust with our next project. I recommend O.P.L. to the highest level.

    Garden work

    Massive shoutout to Olly and the lads O.P.L Groundworks for the works they’ve completed on our garden recently. Completely transformed the garden and great quality work too. Couldn’t recommend them enough.

    Highly recommend!

    Posted 31 January

    We couldn't be happier with our new garden. Olly was so flexible when we decided to break the project into two parts, and his attention to detail on our porcelain patio is second to none. They even made sure everything was perfectly clean before they left. Look forward to phase two next year!

    Amazing transformation

    Posted 18 January

    OPL absolutely transformed my garden in the most challenging of weather. A week of on/off heavy snow. The lads did everything they could when they could. Starting in the morning just as it was coming light and worked all day. My garden has gone from looking miserable, messy and grey to bright and inviting. It's absolutely stunning. They did such an amazing job. The price I was quoted and paid for what I have in return was amazing too. I'm so happy. Oliver was happy to answer all my questions and kept me updated throughout. I highly recommend OPL Groundworks and I can't wait for summer now.

Hi, I’m Oliver from O.P.L Groundwork's.


We are a Staffordshire based company and have 10 years' experience in the industry.


We are a team of 3, this consists of Oliver (owner) also with the help of Aaron & Charlie.


I’ve been working on a new build site doing the bigger groundwork side of things, while on the weekends focusing on the finer detail on my private jobs.


I’ve decided to go by myself full time, so I can help people build their dream gardens/drives, and this work gives me job satisfaction at the end of it knowing the hard work was all worth it.


We strive to be trustworthy and reliable and will always show up when we state.


We will also arrive on site every day for 8am.
