ALS Landscaping is an award-winning landscape gardener Lincoln, established in 2002 with more than 20 years of experience. The company provides a complete design-and-build service across Lincoln and Lincolnshire, covering garden design, paving, planting, fencing, decking and lighting from initial ideas through to final landscaping.
Experienced Landscape Gardener Lincoln
Since 2002, ALS Landscaping has designed and built gardens for homeowners across Lincoln and the wider county. With more than two decades of hands-on experience, we have developed an award-winning approach to garden design which handles every landscape as its own project. Each garden is planned around the property, the people who use it and the way they want to live outdoors.
As a locally based landscape gardener, ALS works throughout Lincoln and Lincolnshire on everything from individual improvements to complete garden transformations. Some clients want a fresh patio and a smarter planting scheme, while others want to rethink the whole space. Either way, the work is delivered as a single, coordinated project rather than a set of unrelated jobs through our design-and-build approach.
At ALS Landscaping, we handle both garden design and landscaping construction, meaning elements such as paving, patios, planting, fencing, decking, and lighting are considered together from the very start. This creates gardens that feel planned, not pieced together.
Professional Landscape Gardener Lincoln
A good landscape gardener Lincoln looks at the whole garden and builds a plan that balances how the space looks with how it actually works day to day.
The process usually begins by assessing the existing garden and understanding how you want to use it. Do you need a space for entertaining, a lawn for children, quiet corners for relaxing, or a bit of everything? From there, a practical layout starts to take shape.
Quality landscaping relies on a lot more than what you see on the surface, such as:
- Ground preparation and drainage to give every surface a stable, long-lasting base.
- Hard landscaping such as paving, paths, decking and structures.
- Soft landscaping and planting to add colour, texture and seasonal interest.
- Clear connections between patios, lawns, paths and planting so the garden flows naturally.
- Material choices that suit the property and the wider design.
The finished garden has to work in practice, not only in photographs. Our landscape gardener Lincoln team coordinates all of these elements as part of one landscaping project. By bringing design and construction together under a single roof we can ensure every decision is aligned and the finished garden performs as well as it looks.
Complete Garden Landscaping in Lincoln
A full garden transformation can bring together many different types of work. Here are the core services ALS incorporates into its garden landscaping in Lincoln.
Garden Design
Every project starts with a plan. The ALS garden design service includes consultations, bespoke layouts and, where appropriate, 3D drawings and project timetables. Seeing your garden visualised before work begins makes it far easier to commit to a layout with confidence.

Patios & Paving
Patios and pathways set the tone for the whole garden. Our landscape gardener Lincoln team installs porcelain paving, natural stone and other quality materials for patios, pathways and entertaining spaces.
As a Brett Premier Approved Installer, the company works with premium ranges designed to look good and last.
Planting & Lawns
Planting brings a garden to life. Considered planting schemes, fresh turf and well-structured borders provide seasonal interest and a softer finish around hard landscaping, so the space feels natural rather than paved over.
Fencing & Garden Boundaries
New fencing adds privacy and security while neatly defining the garden. From traditional timber to low-maintenance composite, the right boundary frames the space and complements the wider design.
Decking & Outdoor Living
Decking, seating areas, pergolas and similar features help you make far greater use of the garden. They create dedicated spots for dining, relaxing and entertaining, extending your living space outdoors.
Composite Products
Composite products offer a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional timber. ALS installs composite decking and fencing in a range of contemporary finishes, providing the natural look of timber without the regular staining, painting or sealing.
Garden Lighting
Thoughtful garden lighting illuminates pathways, patios, planting and architectural features. It keeps the garden usable after dark and adds a real sense of atmosphere on summer evenings.
Landscaping Designed Around Your Lincoln Home
No two Lincoln gardens are the same, and good landscaping starts by recognising that. Our landscape gardener Lincoln understands that requirements vary considerably from one property to the next, so the design should respond to the specific home and plot rather than following a standard template.
Consider a few common scenarios:
- Established properties may have mature planting, existing paving or older layouts that need to be worked around or completely redesigned.
- New-build gardens often start as a blank canvas but need attention to levels, drainage, soil and structure. ALS took exactly this approach in a garden transformation for a new Lincoln home, creating a contemporary space with Balau decking, black anthracite porcelain paving and a Corten steel water blade that connected the garden visually with the house.
- Smaller urban gardens reward careful zoning and multifunctional areas. The Courtyard Garden Transformation in Lincoln shows how a compact, block-paved courtyard became a genuine outdoor room, using a retractable louvred pergola, Corten steel features and year-round planting to make the most of a limited footprint.
- Larger suburban gardens can support separate areas for dining, entertaining, lawns and planting, giving each part of the garden its own purpose.
Having designed and built gardens across a range of local conditions and styles, our landscape gardener Lincoln team bring that practical, area-specific knowledge to every Lincoln project.
From Garden Design to Complete Landscaping
One of the biggest advantages of working with a single design-and-build company is a clear, joined-up process. Here is how ALS takes a Lincoln garden from first idea to finished space.
- Consultation: Understanding the garden, your priorities, preferred style and budget.
- Site assessment: Reviewing dimensions, access, levels, drainage, existing landscaping and anything that needs removing.
- Garden design: Developing a cohesive layout and selecting the right materials and features.
- Groundworks and preparation: Excavation, foundations and drainage before any visible landscaping begins.
- Landscaping and installation: Paving, decking, fencing, structures, lawns and other elements.
- Planting and finishing details: Planting, lighting and the final touches that complete the design.
Recent Landscaping Projects in Lincoln
Real projects tell the story far better than any list of services. Here are three recent examples of ALS’s work in Lincoln.
- Luxury Garden Transformation, Lincoln: Completed over six weeks, this luxury garden transformation brought together premium porcelain paving, raised planters, LED lighting, a louvred pergola and a fully equipped outdoor bar with running water, power and internet. Composite fencing, fresh turf and an extensive planting scheme completed a garden built around outdoor entertaining.
- Garden Makeover, Lincoln: This three-week garden makeover shows how several elements work together. Hardwood decking and porcelain paving define distinct zones for entertaining, while custom LED and spike lighting keeps the garden attractive and usable well beyond daylight hours.
- Courtyard Garden Transformation, Lincoln: A compact wraparound courtyard, once dominated by block paving, became a contemporary outdoor living space over six weeks. The courtyard transformation features a retractable louvred pergola, Corten steel planters and water feature, and a bespoke planting scheme designed for year-round interest.
