Patios, driveways, garden transformations and groundworks across Terling, Witham, Chelmsford, Braintree and Gosfield. Local, family-run, and built for Essex ground — with honest pricing and a tidy finish, every job.
One team for the whole job — from breaking ground to the final sweep-up. No subcontractor chains, no passing the buck.
Indian sandstone, porcelain, block and slab patios laid on a proper sub-base with correct falls — built to cope with the shrink-swell clay most of mid-Essex sits on.
Block paving, resin-bound and gravel driveways that add kerb appeal and value — excavated, compacted and finished to take years of daily use.
Site clearance, excavation, footings, concrete bases, drainage and levelling for extensions, garden rooms, garages and new builds.
Complete garden makeovers designed around how you actually use the space — lawns, planting, sleepers, decking and lighting brought together as one design.
Closeboard and slatted fencing, gates, timber and composite decking — built square, level and solid, with posts concreted in properly.
CGR Landscapes & Groundworks is a family-run business based in mid-Essex, built on a simple idea: do the unseen work properly and the finished job takes care of itself. That means the right depth of sub-base, the correct falls for drainage and materials chosen to suit your ground and your budget — not just what looks good on day one.
Working the same patch of Essex year after year teaches you things a national firm never learns: which streets in Witham and Chelmsford sit on heavy clay, how the conservation areas around Terling and Gosfield expect a job to look, and which materials still look right after five winters.
A simple, transparent process so you always know what's happening and what it costs.

We're proud of our reputation. Here's what people tell us once the job is done.
“Had a new sandstone patio laid front to back. They turned up when they said they would, cracked on through a wet couple of days and left the place spotless every evening. Really pleased with how it's come out.”
“New closeboard fencing right the way round the garden. It's made the whole space feel twice the size and it's solid as anything — posts properly concreted in, not just knocked in and hoped for. Tidy job.”
“Our patio was green, slippery and covered in algae and we'd resigned ourselves to replacing the lot. They cleaned and re-jointed it in a day and it genuinely looks like new stone. Saved us a small fortune.”
We're based in mid-Essex and work across the Braintree district, Chelmsford and the villages in between — domestic gardens and commercial sites alike. Being local means short travel, quick call-backs and a team you'll actually see again.
