When spaces need to thrive, soft landscaping is critical. Yet fragmented suppliers and limited horticultural expertise can undermine outcomes.
Don’t let avoidable issues derail your project.
Planting failures from poor specification or handling
Designs that lack seasonal interest or biodiversity value
Drainage/soil issues that shorten landscape lifespan
Missed windows for planting and establishment
Coordination challenges with large tree logistics
Compliance risks on sensitive or heritage sites
Increased maintenance costs due to poor set-up
At Gavin Jones, we integrate horticultural expertise with construction discipline – delivering soft landscapes that establish quickly, flourish, and add lasting value.
Landscape planting
As specialist soft landscaping contractors, we design planting schemes that look incredible on day one and mature beautifully over time. From semi-mature and specialist large tree planting (including sourcing, lifts and permits) to crafted hedging, meadows and irrigation, we handle every detail so your softscaping establishes quickly and thrives season after season.
Earthworks & earthmoving
Great soft landscaping starts below the surface. We shape ground levels, engineer soils and design drainage to create the conditions plants love and landscapes rely on. Through smart cut & fill, soil improvement and testing, we build the invisible foundations that make outdoor spaces perform for decades.
Sports pitch construction
Playability begins with expert softscaping. We construct natural turf pitches and multi-sport surfaces that balance performance, safety and durability – then protect that standard with intelligent aftercare programmes. From first kick-off to season’s end, our teams keep surfaces true, resilient and ready for action.
Aquatic landscaping & water-retaining structures
Water brings places to life. We create ponds, lakes, natural swimming pools and restored watercourses that boost biodiversity, improve amenity and look stunning year-round. With precise construction and thoughtful aquatic planting, your water features stay healthy, clear and easy to manage.
With award-winning heritage and nationwide delivery, we’re trusted to make living landscapes thrive.

Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum had an ambitious vision: to transform its existing gardens into a ‘living laboratory’ that would inspire public engagement, advance conservation science, and improve biodiversity.
Monk Bridge Regeneration Project
Reimagining an historic structure through regeneration landscaping. Creating a vibrant elevated park that connects the public whilst celebrating its Victorian heritage.
Teesside Shopping Park
Teesside Park, part of the British Land portfolio, wanted to improve the public realm around retail frontages through the use of attractive landscaping features to enhance the customer experience.
The Glebe
This development posed unique technical and aesthetic challenges. The site’s prestigious location in the heart of old Chelsea demanded the highest design standards to blend seamlessly with its historic surroundings.
Walpole Park
Ealing Council, had a clear yet ambitious vision, to restore the park’s Regency-era character and reconnect the landscape with Soane’s original design principles. Focusing to enhance accessibility and visitor experience for future generations.
Delivering soft landscaping at scale demands careful orchestration – from soil science and specification to logistics, planting windows, and establishment. Without that rigor, even well-designed schemes can underperform or fail.
Gavin Jones brings more than a century of horticultural pedigree to every project. Our teams combine botanical know-how with construction discipline to ensure soils are conditioned correctly, species are specified for place, and planting is handled, installed, and after-cared for to exacting standards.
We manage complex operations others avoid – specialist large tree planting with sourcing and tagging, cranage and lifting, and any required permits or road closures – while coordinating seamlessly with main contractors, designers, and stakeholders on live sites and sensitive environments.
The result is soft landscaping that establishes quickly, supports biodiversity and ESG goals, and remains attractive and resilient for years – reducing rework, protecting budgets, and elevating the user experience across commercial, public, and private spaces.
