Landscape Gardeners Oakwood

TJM Landscapes covers Oakwood and the wider LS8 area — from the Victorian and Edwardian terraces behind Oakwood Parade and along Roundhay Road, to the 1920s and 1930s semis on streets like Easterly Road, Copgrove Road, and Arlington Grove, and the larger detached homes near the southern entrance to Roundhay Park. We’re Tom and Declan, a family-run landscaping team with over ten years working across North Leeds, and we know the range that Oakwood’s housing produces: compact south-facing terrace plots a few streets from the Oakwood Clock, generous 80-foot rear gardens on the interwar semis, and more substantial properties near the park where the garden has often already been partially developed and needs upgrading rather than starting from scratch.

Whether you need new fencing, a patio, decking, artificial grass, garden walls, or regular maintenance, call 07745 240049 for a free, no-obligation site visit and written quote anywhere in Oakwood or LS8.

Our Landscaping Services in Oakwood, LS8

Garden Fencing Oakwood

Garden fencing is the most common landscaping request TJM receives across Oakwood — and the nature of the housing explains why. The 1920s and 1930s semis that line Easterly Road, Copgrove Road, and the streets running off them typically have large rectangular rear gardens with long shared boundaries on both sides: fence runs of 30 to 60 metres between neighbouring properties are standard, not exceptional. When those fences go — whether through age, storm damage, or post failure — replacing them is not a small job, and it needs someone who turns up, measures properly, and quotes accurately.

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces near Roundhay Road and the streets behind Oakwood Parade present a different challenge: older side-passage gates and rear-alley fencing that have deteriorated well past their practical life, often alongside original brick or stone boundary walls that need working around rather than removed. TJM installs close-board and feather-edge timber fencing, composite panels, and timber gates across Oakwood and LS8. We handle storm damage and post failure as promptly as planned installations — if a fence has come down and you need it dealt with, call 07745 240049. For detailed fencing information for Oakwood — costs, fence types, and timescales — see our dedicated Oakwood fencing page, or our garden fencing service page for the full Leeds-wide range.

Garden Maintenance Oakwood

Oakwood is a neighbourhood where people invest in their local environment — the monthly farmers’ market around the Clock, the independent businesses on the Parade, the Friends of Gipton Wood, and the engagement with Roundhay Park all reflect a population that genuinely cares about quality in its surroundings. That care extends to gardens. TJM provides regular scheduled maintenance across Oakwood and LS8: lawn mowing and edging, hedge trimming, seasonal border clearance, and general upkeep on a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly basis, as well as one-off tidy-ups for homeowners who need the garden brought back under control.

The 1920s and 1930s semis that make up most of Oakwood’s housing have large rear gardens that can become significantly overgrown without consistent attention — particularly in summer, when growth is fast and access from the back entry is limited. We’re familiar with these garden types and the practical constraints that come with them. For properties near Roundhay Park where the garden has a green, semi-rural feel worth preserving, we work to maintain that character rather than replace it. See our garden maintenance page for more.

Patios & Paving Oakwood

The long rear gardens of Oakwood’s Victorian terraces and the generous plots of the 1920s semis are well-suited to patio installation — there is typically enough space to create a proper outdoor seating area without sacrificing the lawn entirely. Natural buff sandstone and warm-toned porcelain both work well against the brick and stone character of Oakwood’s older properties; neutral grey porcelain suits the more modern homes near the park. TJM handles the full installation: groundworks, sub-base, levels, drainage, laying, jointing, and any step or height change between the patio surface and the garden.

Oakwood properties often have rear gardens that sit at a different level from the house — raised by fill, or lower where the original ground has been worked over — and assessing levels properly before any paving job starts is essential for getting drainage right. We do this as part of every free site visit rather than on the day work begins. For the detached homes near Roundhay Park, larger terrace designs across more generous plots are common requests. See our patios and paving page for material options and examples.

Decking Oakwood

Decking is popular across Oakwood’s property range. For the long Victorian terrace gardens near the Parade, a raised deck off the back of the house creates a defined outdoor living zone in a garden that might otherwise feel like a narrow strip. For the larger 1930s semis on Easterly Road and Copgrove Road, a deck can anchor the outdoor space and connect the house to the garden in a way that a simple patio sometimes doesn’t. For the detached properties near Roundhay Park — where the garden backs onto or looks toward 700 acres of parkland — investing in a well-built deck with a clear view is a straightforward decision.

We install composite decking as standard for Yorkshire conditions — it handles the wet climate without warping, splitting, or going green over winter, and it maintains its appearance without the annual treatment cycle that softwood demands. Hardwood is available for properties where the grain and feel of real timber matters. We design and build each deck to the specific plot and how the space will actually be used. See our decking installation page.

Artificial Grass Oakwood

Artificial grass has grown steadily in popularity across Oakwood — particularly for families with young children and dogs who want a lawn that stays usable and mud-free through a Yorkshire winter. The 1920s semis with large rear gardens are the most common candidates: a lawn of 50 or 60 square metres that gets heavy family use through the summer and turns to mud by November is a good candidate for a properly installed artificial alternative that performs year-round.

Heavy shade from mature hedges and established trees — common on older Oakwood properties, particularly those that have been owner-occupied for decades — is another driver. Natural grass that cannot establish in deep shade regardless of how frequently it is reseeded is well replaced by artificial turf with a quality drainage substrate underneath. TJM installs with full sub-base preparation and weed membrane as standard. We specify natural-looking turf grades rather than budget alternatives that look obviously synthetic. See our artificial grass installation page for examples.

Garden Walls Oakwood

Many of Oakwood’s older properties along Roundhay Road and the streets immediately behind Oakwood Parade have original brick or stone boundary walls and gate piers that have deteriorated over time — pointing crumbling away, courses displaced by frost or root pressure, gate piers that have leaned beyond what looks right. These are features worth repairing rather than demolishing: on the Victorian terrace streets, well-maintained boundary walls contribute directly to the street character that makes Oakwood’s older core visually distinctive from a standard suburban road.

TJM carries out repointing, partial section rebuilds, and full wall replacements across Oakwood and LS8, matching existing brickwork and stone wherever the job requires it. We also build new walls and raised planters to match the character of existing structures. We will give you a straightforward assessment at the site visit of whether a wall needs repointing, partial rebuilding, or full replacement — and we price all three options clearly so the decision is yours. See our garden walls service page.

Why Oakwood Homeowners Choose TJM Landscapes

We work regularly across Oakwood, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Meanwood, Alwoodley, and the wider LS8 and North Leeds area. The Oakwood and Roundhay boundary is informal and we cover the whole zone without distinction — a job in the streets near Gipton Wood is as straightforward to us as a job near Soldiers Field. That ongoing local presence means we know the housing stock: the fence run lengths typical of Easterly Road semis, the level changes common behind Roundhay Road terraces, and the scale of projects that come with the larger homes near the park.

TJM Landscapes is Tom and Declan. We carry out the work ourselves — no subcontractors, no unfamiliar crew. The person who does the site visit is the person who does the job. We are City & Guilds qualified, fully insured, and have been working in West Yorkshire gardens for over a decade. In an area like Oakwood, where residents are engaged and discerning — a FARMA-accredited farmers’ market in the neighbourhood is a reasonable indicator of the local quality threshold — that record matters more than a marketing claim.

Every quote is free, written, and itemised. Oakwood’s gardens vary considerably in size, orientation, and ground levels across even a short stretch of road — we price from what we see at the site visit, not from a phone description or a guess. You will know exactly what you are paying for before work begins. No obligation once you have the quote, no follow-up pressure if you decide not to proceed.

We leave every site clean and tidy before we leave. Old fencing, broken paving, rubble from wall work — it all goes with us on the day. No skip on the drive for a week, no debris stacked behind the shed. For a neighbourhood that takes its environment seriously — from the independent shops on the Parade to the Friends of Gipton Wood — it is the least we can do.

Frequently Asked Questions — Landscaping in Oakwood

How much does garden fencing cost in Oakwood, LS8?

Close-board or feather-edge panel fencing in Oakwood typically costs between £85 and £130 per metre, supplied and installed. Composite fencing costs more — typically £130 to £200 per metre — reflecting its longer lifespan and zero maintenance requirements. Timber gate installation starts from around £350 depending on size and specification. Many Oakwood semis have long shared-boundary fence runs of 30 to 60 metres, so TJM provides a clear per-metre rate and total figure at the quote stage so there is no ambiguity about the final cost. All quotes are free, written, and carry no obligation to proceed.

Do you cover Roundhay as well as Oakwood?

Yes — TJM Landscapes covers Oakwood, Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Meanwood, Alwoodley, and the wider LS8 and North Leeds area.

If you are unsure whether we cover your specific street, call 07745 240049 and we will confirm.

My 1930s semi in Oakwood has a large rear garden — can you handle the whole project?

Yes. TJM Landscapes regularly works on the 1920s and 1930s semis that characterise Easterly Road, Copgrove Road, Arlington Grove, and similar Oakwood streets — they are one of the most common property types we work on across LS8. These gardens often benefit from a combined approach: new boundary fencing, a patio installation, and lawn work planned and priced together rather than as three separate jobs. TJM can quote on the full project or on individual elements and phases, whichever suits your timeline and budget. The site visit is free and takes no more than 30–45 minutes.

Can you replace a damaged fence quickly after a storm?

Yes — storm damage and post failure are among the most common emergency requests TJM Landscapes receives across Oakwood and LS8. Call 07745 240049 and we will assess the damage and provide a quote as quickly as possible. Where security or privacy is an immediate concern — a fence down on a back entry or a side passage left open — temporary boarding can be arranged while the full replacement is scheduled.
