transformations.

Tired patios, worn-out driveways and gardens nobody goes in. We rebuild them properly, from the base up, across Burton upon Trent and Staffordshire.

Alford & Co on a finished patio
Who you're dealing with

The person who quotes it is the person who builds it.

Alford & Co started in 2023 in Burton upon Trent. Small team, no call centre, and nothing subbed out — so the standard stays the same from the groundwork to the last plant.

You deal with the same person from the first visit to handover.

Information needed Your name and your story

A few lines in your own words: your first name, how you got started, and why you do this. It goes here, written as you'd say it. This is usually the most-read part of a site like this.

Before & after

Drag the line.

The same garden from the same spot, before we started and on the day we finished. Nothing sells a landscaper harder than this, so it gets the biggest slot on the page.

Before
Photo needed The garden as you found it

Taken from a fixed spot before the dig — a doorway or a corner works well.

After
Photo needed The same shot, finished

Exactly the same spot and angle once the job's done and the site is clear.

What we build

The whole garden, by one team.

From the sub-base up. Nothing subbed out, so the finish is the same on the parts you see and the parts you don't.

01

Patios & porcelain paving

Porcelain, sandstone and block, laid on a full base with the falls set away from the house.

02

Resin bound driveways

Dug out and re-based, then resin laid seamless. Permeable, weed-free and no loose stone tracked indoors.

03

Artificial grass & putting greens

Green all year with no mowing, including cut-in putting greens with a true roll.

04

Fencing, screens & sleeper beds

Close-board, slatted screens and pergolas, plus raised beds in timber or rendered block.

05

Gravel, planting & garden lighting

Low-maintenance gravel schemes, planting that fills out, and lighting so the garden still works after dark.

06

Repairs & the smaller jobs

Shed roofs, walling, drainage and patio cleaning. If it's in the garden, ask us.

Our work

Gardens built to be used, not looked at.

A few from this year, all within half an hour of Burton.

Finished resin bound driveway with lavender planting

Resin drive, front to back

Resin bound

Seamless, weed-free and no loose stone on the path. Laid over a full new base with a soft lavender edge.

Gravel garden with timber raised bed and stepping slabs

The no-mow garden

Gravel · Timber · Lighting

Stepping slabs through washed gravel, a timber raised bed and strip lighting under the edge — somewhere to sit, not something to mow every Sunday.

Artificial putting green in a rear garden

The putting green

Artificial grass

A proper cut-in hole, true roll and a paved run alongside it. Usable in January.

Rendered raised planter with stone coping and planting

Rendered beds

Walling · Planting

Built, rendered and capped with stone coping, then planted up so it softens as it grows in.

See it properly

A walk round a finished garden.

Photos only go so far. A short clip walking through a finished job gives people a much better feel for the size and the finish before they ring you.

Video needed Two or three short clips

Ten to twenty seconds each, straight off your phone — a walk-round of a finished garden and a resin pour would both work. This frame plays them on a loop.

Home spa & wellness

Saunas and cold plunges, built into the garden.

Designed and built by the same team that does your groundwork, so the base, the drainage and the power are right from the start.

Information needed What you can actually supply

The images above are your own concept visuals. Tell us what you can build and fit today — sauna types, plunge pools, rough prices — and whether any are finished, so we can put real photos here instead.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises.

Step 01

The visit

We come out, walk the garden with you and listen to how you actually want to use it. Free, and no obligation.

Step 02

The quote

A clear written price with the materials named, so you know exactly what you're getting before anything starts.

Step 03

The build

We turn up when we say we will, keep you posted as it comes together, and leave the site clear at the end.

What people say

In your customers' words.

Reviews do more work than anything else on a page like this. Three or four is plenty to start with.

Information needed Three or four reviews

What the customer said, their first name, and the town. Screenshots from WhatsApp, Google or Facebook are fine — we'll set them out.

Information needed Where you collect them

If you've got a Google Business listing we'll link it here so new reviews appear on the site by themselves.

Where we work

Burton upon Trent and around.

Based in Burton, working across the towns and villages nearby. If you're a little further out, ask anyway.

The towns above are a starting guess. Tell us how far you'll travel and which places you'd rather not cover, and we'll set the list properly — it matters for showing up in local searches.
