About us
Rooted in the New Forest
Forest Gardeners Limited is a landscaping company based at Meadow Farm nursery in Tiptoe, just outside Lymington. We work across the New Forest and the wider Hampshire and Dorset area.
Our story
A local business with local roots
Forest Gardeners was founded with a simple idea: to provide honest, high-quality landscaping to homeowners across the New Forest and surrounding area. We're based at Meadow Farm nursery in Tiptoe — a small hamlet between Lymington and Sway — and we've been working in this part of Hampshire for over a decade.
Being based at a working nursery gives us a real advantage. We can source quality plants directly, and our team has hands-on knowledge of what grows well in the New Forest's varied soils and conditions. We understand the local landscape, the character of the area, and what it takes to create gardens that feel right here.
We're a small, experienced team. We take on a manageable number of projects at a time, which means you'll always deal directly with us — not a subcontractor — and we'll give your project the attention it deserves.
What we stand for
Our values
Quality first
We don't cut corners. Every project is completed to a high standard, using quality materials and proper techniques.
Honest & transparent
Clear quotes, no hidden costs, and straightforward communication throughout your project.
Locally rooted
We know the New Forest. Our local knowledge informs every project — from plant choice to material selection.
Tidy & respectful
We respect your property. Sites are kept clean throughout and fully cleared on completion.
How we work
Our process
Every project follows the same straightforward process — from initial site visit to final aftercare. We keep you informed at every stage and won't start work until you're happy with the quote and plan.
-
1
Site visit
We visit your property to assess the site, discuss your ideas and requirements, and take measurements. There's no charge for this, and no obligation to proceed.
-
2
Quote
We provide a clear, itemised written quote within a few days of the site visit. We're happy to discuss any aspect of it and answer questions before you decide.
-
3
Schedule
Once you're happy to proceed, we agree a start date. We'll confirm the schedule in writing and keep you updated if anything changes.
-
4
Build
We carry out the work to the agreed specification. We keep the site tidy throughout and let you know of any issues as they arise — no surprises.
-
5
Aftercare
On completion, we clear the site fully and walk you through any aftercare requirements. We're on hand to answer questions in the weeks that follow.
