When Connor and Ian reached out, their garden was in desperate need of a transformation. Overrun with dense shrubs, decayed decking, and a severe rat infestation, the space was nearly inaccessible and completely out of sync with their sleek, modern home in Cheltenham. They envisioned a contemporary, low-maintenance outdoor space that would not only enhance their property but also eliminate the persistent issues they faced.
Over six weeks, we carried out a complete garden overhaul, installing 45 tons of premium materials, including elegant white porcelain slabs, black block pavers, and a rendered flower bed with integrated lighting. A sturdy brick wall was also constructed to prevent future infestations. Despite the challenges—navigating a narrow driveway, coordinating deliveries, and manually transporting materials through the house due to restricted access—our team delivered a stunning transformation.
Connor and Ian approached me with a significant problem: a severe rat infestation and a wildly overgrown, outdated garden. The space was cluttered with decayed sleepers, rotting decking, and dense, unruly bushes and shrubs—so overgrown that reaching the back of the garden was nearly impossible. They wanted a complete transformation, opting for a sleek, contemporary design that would complement their beautiful modern home in the heart of Cheltenham.
We undertook a complete overhaul of the garden, preserving only the 3 acres of land and two mature trees—everything else was transformed. We installed 45 tons of premium materials, including 120 elegant white porcelain slabs complemented by sleek black block pavers for the pathway. The design was further elevated with a beautifully rendered flower bed featuring integrated lighting, a stylish sleeper seat, and a robust brick wall to effectively prevent rats from entering.
The result was a sophisticated, modern garden that perfectly aligned with Connor’s vision of a low-maintenance, contemporary outdoor space. The carefully positioned lighting added a stunning final touch, enhancing both the atmosphere and functionality of the garden, bringing the entire transformation to life.
The entire project spanned 6 weeks, made all the more challenging by the fact that every bit of material had to be carried through the house—using a digger was simply not an option due to the multiple steps throughout the property. Our team tackled the job with sheer determination, completing all the heavy lifting and groundwork entirely by hand.
Despite the logistical hurdles of a narrow driveway on Cheltenham’s bustling high street and the complexities of coordinating materials and skips, our meticulous planning and unwavering commitment allowed us to stay on schedule and deliver exceptional results.
Connor entrusted us with complete creative freedom to transform his garden, and we brought that vision to life with precision and care. The outcome was a flawless execution of our design, showcasing our team’s resilience, expertise, and dedication.
From start to finish, the transformation is nothing short of remarkable—it's hard to believe it's the same garden. Our goal was not only to enhance the property's value but also to create a beautiful, functional outdoor space that our clients can truly enjoy.
This project demanded hard work, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail, but every ounce of effort was worth it. Seeing the stunning final result and knowing we exceeded our clients’ expectations made it all worthwhile.

I would highly recommend Luke and Patrick and their team. They are all extremely polite and hard-working. They put up a new pergola in our back garden and tidied up the edges of the garden. An excellent job.
I can highly recommend Luke and his team. My garden had got a little overrun due to all the rain and needed some serious attention. They were on time and left my garden looking fantastic. I am so pleased that i will now be using them to maintain my garden permanently.
I had an overgrown garden and after placing an advertisement for someone to clear my garden they were the quickest to reply and offer their services. The work carried out was very good they were very efficient and I’m very pleased with the outcome.
Luke and Patrick have completed two projects for us now. They are the most polite and professional people with a hardworking team of individuals. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
Luke and his team were incredibly professional, polite and hard working. They did an amazing job cutting back my huge holly hedge and reducing four other large trees and bushes in the space of one day - it would have taken me weeks. Fast, efficient and very reasonably price.
Luke and his team are really lovely and professional. Cannot recommend him enough.
All the team are very personable, efficient, hard working, flexible and reliable they keep the customer in touch with any change of plans and timings. i can thoroughly recommend them.
Luke and the team are absolutely brilliant. A passion for what they do and personal but professional, so pleased to have found them!
We had some overgrown garden shrubs cut down to size. The service was professional and thorough from the initial visit, where Luke discussed various options regarding shaping and pruning, to the actual trimming.
Luke and his team offer a well run and professional service and are always willing to ensure the job is completed to customer satisfaction.
A relative's garden had become very overgrown. Luke and team come once a fortnight and have been slowly restoring it. It's already looking loads better. What's more, they take away all the garden waste and check in regularly to make sure they are meeting your requirements.
I can highly recommend Luke and his team, very professional from the quote to the finished job they went above and beyond replacing and installing a new fence for me. They did a fantastic job, will not hesitate to use them again. Great job guys. Thank you.
Our garden fence was damaged in a storm in December and a poor attempt to repair it by another company had left it sagging. The guys from Plex Procurement Group quickly worked out what needed to be done to fix and stabilise it and we are very pleased with the result.
Really pleased with the gardening the team are doing. They've helped get on top of the garden and are now maintaining it with regular visits. Very dependable and good quality work. Thanks Luke!
Patrick and his team came out to level our lawn out in harsh weather. Moving all the soil/mud by wheelbarrow to the front driveway. It was completed efficiently and at low cost. I would recommend Plex to my friends and family. We have them coming along to do some more work soon.
Really pleased with the concrete base for my carport that was completed by the team , worked really hard in poor weather conditions . Great job would definitely recommend the team .
We're really pleased with the changes you've made to our front garden and would have no hesitation recommending you and your team. I really appreciate you coming to water the garden once the job was finished and the after sales service was superb.
Completely satisfied with work carried out and very impressed with work ethic of the whole team. Their level of commitment is exemplary. Our garden will now be much easier to manage with the raised borders. Have already booked for further work in the spring.
Our garden has never looked better - hard-working, thorough, and also great at getting in touch if there's a change to the schedule, etc. They have nursed our box hedging back to health. Before and and after photos are a bonus!
The guys worked tirelessly for 10 days on my 100m hedge. This was a mammoth task, and they turned up on time every day with smiles on their faces. Polite, helpful, courteous and hard working. Price was also very reasonable. Would certainly recommend
Competitive price wise even though the work carried out was to a very high standard. I was very pleased with the end result and impressed with the tidiness they left the garden after all the work was carried out. A very happy customer!
Luke & the team are extremely efficient and professional. Our lawns look very neat and tidy. Thank you.
I can easily rate Garden Guys as 5 star. The are good listeners, respectful and will always go that extra mile to make sure you’re left smiling. ? After a couple of really bad years have left me incapacitated to do the smallest of jobs, I have really needed their support.
Very obliging and efficient we have worked out a schedule that suits us both.
Hard working young team. Plenty of effective machinery and responded to special requests. Will be using them this summer and confident the relationship should develop.
Excellent service and great communication. Would highly recommend.
The boys were charming, came on a Sunday worked very hard all day, and did a fantastic job of literally halving the height of my very out-of-control hedge. Highly recommend.
They are really hard working efficient and tidy so the garden always looks better for the visit. They add more each time an have the sense to check stuff if they are less sure about odd plants or problems. Highly recommended.
Excellent job. Very nice lads. Our timings were out due to weather and for me going into hospital. They took the job on and completed it perfectly without me. Very trustworthy and no hesitation in recommending this business. Thank you, Jan
Extremely polite and did their best in the pouring rain!
Fantastic friendly team, hard working, have done many varieties of jobs for myself, and really great rates to boot!

Cladding garden walls is one of the most effective ways to upgrade tired brickwork and create a clean, modern finish without full reconstruction. In this guide, we explain how professional wall cladding transforms outdoor spaces, the materials best suited to Worcestershire’s climate, and how proper installation ensures durability. Whether you’re revitalising a boundary wall or creating a statement feature, Plex outlines what goes into building long-lasting, visually striking cladded walls.
Sometimes the most cost-effective way to transform a tired, overgrown, or uneven garden is to start fresh. This article explores when full garden removal and reset make better sense than repeated patchwork repairs. From failing patios and drainage problems to compacted soil and outdated layouts, we explain the signs that it’s time for a complete redesign — and how Plex rebuilds outdoor spaces across Worcestershire from the ground up for long-term performance and usability.
Water pooling on a patio is one of the most common issues homeowners face, especially in wetter areas of Worcestershire. Puddling can lead to slippery surfaces, moss growth, staining, joint failure, and long-term structural damage. In this guide, we explain the true causes of standing water, including installation errors, sinking slabs, blocked drainage, and ground movement. We also break down the professional fixes and preventative measures used at Plex to keep patios draining correctly year-round.
