Job size
Not every garden needs a makeover
Most of what we do is the in-between work: too much for a Saturday afternoon, too small for a landscaping firm to get excited about.
-
A single repair
One fence panel, one gate, one patch of lawn. A small job still gets a proper visit and a clear price.
-
A tired corner
The bit by the bins, the slabs by the back door, the strip of grass the dog has claimed.
-
Between tenants
Getting a rented garden safe and tidy for the next people, without paying for a redesign.
-
New-build basics
Front lawns that never took, wobbly side gates and boundaries that need finishing off.
What we fix

Each one has its own page with what is involved, what to plan for and the questions people ask before booking.

Who we are
Run by a local lawn and landscaping business
City Garden Services is run by James Steven Landscapes & Lawns, based in Drayton on the north-west edge of Norwich. Lawns are the core of the business, alongside paving, fencing, gates and repairs, with 15 years experience behind the work.
We set up City Garden Services for the smaller jobs that city gardens tend to need. Terraced gardens with access through the house, rented homes that need sorting between tenants, and new-build plots where the builder's finish did not last. The same people who lay whole lawns and patios turn up for a single repair, with the same proper preparation and attention to detail.
There is no subcontracting. The people who quote for your job are the people who do it, and you will always know when we are coming and what we are doing.

Gardens around Norwich
A few of the gardens we have worked on, from courtyards to new-build front lawns.



Will you come out for a small job?
Yes. Smaller jobs and repairs are what City Garden Services is for, so a single fence panel or a few loose slabs is worth a message.
Are your quotes free?
Yes, quotes are free. We look at the job, explain what we would do and give you a price before anything is booked.
Our garden is only reachable through the house. Is that a problem?
No, it just needs planning. We cover floors, carry materials and waste through in bags or tubs, and agree a route with you before we start.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We can meet you or your agent at the property, and the quote spells out exactly what will be done so it can be approved quickly.
