10 WOW! What a transformation!
Posted 21 March
Job location: TQ2Ash made my garden vision become reality! Ash worked really hard for a month to completely transform my garden. Ash put up two fences which are still standing strong after the bad storms. Ash made raised curved borders with sleepers, levelled out my garden creating two tiers and also laid two patio areas and turf. I'm so pleased and have had lots of compliments. I have booked Ash to come back this spring to transform my front garden which shows how pleased I am. Thank you so much Ash!- IIan C
10 Terracing steep bank and fixing stone wall
Posted 13 March
The project was to terrace a steep, inaccessible slope in our garden and to repair a very old stonewall. There were many challenges but nothing fazed Ash, he worked methodically and intelligently to overcome all obstacles and find solutions. Ash is very friendly, professional and reliable. He kept us informed of progress and tidied up at the end of each day. He always negotiated the best price for materials and was very transparent re costs. We are absolutely delighted with all Ash has done for us, it was a difficult job and the results have surpassed our expectations. Highly recommended !Verified reviewerJob location: TQ1 10 Top class dependable workman

This is the second time I have had Ash return to my property to complete my garden renovation. He is dependable, amenable, very knowledgeable, friendly and his attention to detail is top class. Always happy to deviate slightly from the original plan and is helpful throughout. A very tidy workman who always cleans up after his day is done. I would be more than happy to recommend him for your future garden/maintenance requirements.Verified reviewerJob location: TQ129.67 Decking Project
Posted 25 August 2025
Our project was to replace a 20 year old timber deck & frame with a completely new composite deck, timber frame and a stainless steel & glass balustrade. Ash was professional, worked extremely hard each day and was very accommodating when we changed plans at the very end of the project. He was very pleasant to deal with and carried out the work to a very high standard. We are very happy with the finished project and I would happily have Ash back to do any future work . We would therefore recommend Stone & Wood Landscaping to anyone.Verified reviewerJob location: TQ210 Garden Landscaping Project

Ashley is a very experienced and knowledgeable professional. Our garden landscaping project included moving and levelling soil, constructing three large oak planters and laying a porcelain patio.

Locally based out of Torbay, Est. 2015
I am a multi-skilled landscaper and I pride myself on delivering the highest quality of workmanship with a professional friendly attitude.
I work alongside my clients to help them design, create and build their own unique gardens. Having the knowledge insight and expertise in all areas of hard landscaping, I will help, advise and guide my clients, step by step through every possible option that can be achieved in their garden in order to achieve their desired project.
By only having to discuss and deal with myself on the project, rather than dealing with multiple trades, I strive to give my clients a hassle free experience that they can enjoy and feel proud to be a part of.
I always work within a time frame and with all budgets in mind, whether this be a simple gate repair or a whole garden makeover. By organising all the materials myself through local companies and trades at the best prices, the clients pay direct to the suppliers with no additional costs.

How I work:
Contact me via Phone text or email.
We will have an initial meeting to discuss your project.
I can advise the best solution for you.
I will price all the material and labour, using local builders merchants in Torbay e.g. Timber Stores UK Ltd and Wiltshires, getting a reference number for all the materials with builders merchants taking payment directly.
If you’re happy to go ahead I will give you a estimated start date, dependent on my other on-going projects.
If work is anticipated to take longer than two weeks I will invoice for the work every two weeks, otherwise I will invoice once the job is completed.
