About us

We are passionate about creating beautiful spaces that work with the natural environment. So that not only do you find the peace and tranquillity you need, but also take comfort in the knowledge that your garden is creating habitat for local wildlife.

Red Earth Landscaping brings together over 20 years experience in garden & woodland design in a unique way that focuses on gardening sustainably. The company was formed in 2013 to build a platform for sustainable gardening practises and broader amenity landscape management.
