Welcome to Actual Landscapes

A talented team with talented leaders

Actual Landscapes has evolved from a diversity of skills provided by the individual employees. This has enabled the construction of a multi-talented and experienced team of landscape artists led by Rory Tompsett a fully qualified HND Landscape Science Principal with 30 years of landscape based experience.

Actual Landscapes recognise that developing skills and competence at all levels requires investment in its staff. Actual Landscapes has an on-going evaluation and training programme in conjunction with the Coleg Cambria and Work Based Learning Programmes – two of the staff have won Learner of the Year awards.

The Design Team is lead by Rory Tompsett (HND Landscape Science & Design) who provide a creative, qualified and experienced team who understand client requirements and the full implications of installation techniques.

The entire process comes under one roof, reducing the dilution of the design principles that can happen when dealing with separate designers and contractors.

What our Customers Said

We requested something a bit different, in that we wanted a garden with Japanese themes. Rory listened really carefully and took that forward, creating a design that he then put into play with real enthusiasm and inspiration.

The team were fantastic- so friendly, incredibly hardworking, and conscientious. They were also very thoughtful when dealing with our neighbours, which we really appreciated.

The result couldn’t have delighted us more- we are so thrilled and look forward to seeing the garden settle in and grow as the years go by. It’s a wonderful space for our family.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and however big or small your project, you are bound to be very happy!

Katherine Nolan

We asked Rory and his team to give us something a little different. Rory listened to what we wanted and came up with an inspired design. Then he became our project manager as his team turned design into reality. A great bunch of guys. Friendly and trustworthy and they really know what they are doing! Highly recommended.

David Nolan Spilsbury

Absolutely delighted with the garden tranformation Rory and his team carried out for us. From the initial consultation right through to the final flag being laid I cannot fault Actual Landscapes! I found the whole team to be hard-working, professional and considerate. I would highly recommend! Thank you.

Catherine Dodd

From initial consultation to finished article I cannot fault Rory and the lads from Actual Landscapes. We started off with 4 concepts which we then tweaked and fine tuned to find the perfect garden and it was executed to a really high standard. The team who created my garden (shout out to Steve, Sam and Mike) were a pleasure to deal with and my neighbours actually miss having them around! I am so chuffed with my new garden, it went from dried out wilderness to lush green haven in a matter of weeks and I now have a perfect spot to chill out on sunny days. The cats love it too!

Elly Wallis

We would like to thank Rory and his team – Steve, Sam, Mikee, Callum and George – for the work done to transform our tired and unfriendly back garden into one we can be proud of and able to enjoy.

From the design stage to the final jet wash the job has been carried out extremely professionally and we are so happy with the end results.

We would wholeheartedly recommend Actual Landscapes for any landscaping project.

Actual Landscapes are superb. I had the front of my property redesigned by Rory and the team and I was blown away by the forward-thinking designs and practical ideas. The result was stunning and I can’t recommend them highly enough. The installation team were extremely accommodating, polite and hard working.

It’s World Turtle Day!

Did you know turtles existed 200 million years ago with the dinosaurs?
And their shell is actually part of their skeleton comprising of 50 bones!

Turtles are incredible animals that are known for their wisdom and perseverance but why should we celebrate them?

Because they are one of the most illegally traded animals and most of their species are endangered.

We love turtles and all water animals alike and that’s why we like to include ponds and water features in our designs, to provide a safe home for insects and amphibians.

If you would like to incorporate a pond into your garden design, click here https://calendly.com/actuallandscapes/site_consultation to book a site consultation today* or visit our website www.actuallandscapes.co.uk for further information.

Rocky Road…

Rockeries are a great feature to add in a garden…

You can experiment with different shapes, colours and textures of natural materials, from beautiful plum slate clippings to mammoth boulders.

You can incorporate stunning waterfalls or water features that add tranquil sounds.

And best of all, you get to be creative with planting, from blooming ground covers and striking alpines to drought resistant succulents and cacti.

Nature can provide the perfect materials to take your garden to new heights.

We are living in a time when there is emphasis upon sustainability and growing your own fruit and vegetables is becoming increasingly popular.

The beautiful blossom on fruit trees provide a stunning display that attracts wildlife and increases the aesthetic appeal of any space, when the fruit has ripened, they are delicious to eat, from apples and cherries to apricots and citrus fruits.

Why not create your very own vineyard with grapevines galore, they’ll happily grow over pergolas or along wires basking in the summer sun.
