Gardeners in Great Missenden
Great Missenden sits in the Misbourne valley in the heart of the Chilterns. Wooded, sloping and chalky. We maintain gardens here weekly and fortnightly, and build the terracing that makes them usable.
Woodland edges and dry shade
Almost every garden round Great Missenden and Prestwood has trees on or over a boundary. That gives you dry shade, roots competing for water, and a constant supply of leaves. Between them those three things defeat a standard mow and go service.
We work with it instead. Shade tolerant grass mixes and a higher cut where lawn matters, ground cover planting where it never will, and proper leaf clearance in autumn so the lawn is not smothered all winter.
Levels, steps and retaining structure
Valley side plots need structure before they need planting. Retaining walls, timber or sleeper terracing, steps and a level patio turn a bank you cannot use into the best part of the garden. We build them with the drainage designed in from the start.
Once the structure is in we keep it. Regular visits to look after the terraces, hedges and borders, so it still looks right in five years.

Gardening in Great Missenden: common questions
- Can anything grow under my beech trees?
- Yes, though not lawn. Epimedium, hellebores, ferns, geraniums and spring bulbs all cope with dry shade. A mulched bed with a mown path through it usually looks better than struggling grass.
- Do you build retaining walls and steps?
- Regularly. Sloping gardens are most of our landscaping work in this area, from a single set of steps to full terracing with planted beds.
- Do you clear leaves in autumn?
- Yes. In the wooded gardens here we usually put in extra autumn visits just for leaf clearance, and it all goes with us.
