Landscaping in Andover

Landscaping for Andover's gardens

Andover has grown substantially through post-war development and continues to expand, with a large number of new housing estates to the north and east of the town creating significant demand for garden landscaping from scratch. The chalk-rich soils of the Test Valley are well-drained and warm up quickly in spring, making them excellent for a wide range of planting. Older parts of Andover have established gardens that often benefit from renovation — removing tired hedging, re-turfing lawns and installing new paving to update the overall look.

Andover's newer housing estates offer clean-slate garden opportunities, while the market town's older residential streets have established plots with mature trees that need sensitive management. The wider Test Valley setting encourages naturalistic planting and chalk-tolerant plant communities.
