Butler Landscapes

Ranked 3 of 11 in Gardeners in Telford

Active

Trading as Butler Landscapes Limited · Market Drayton · Service area: Telford, Shropshire, Cheshire

Our verdict

Our judgement: the stand-out choice if you want a designed garden or major makeover and value an award history [1][4]. It is a bigger, regional firm rather than a local round gardener. Before booking, confirm who does the regular maintenance, the insurance limit and the full written price.

Strengths

  • We rate the track record a strength because the firm claims 35-plus family-run years, the company record runs since 2003, and press coverage describes BALI judging visits and RHS medals [1][3][4]. Few firms in this round show this depth of third-party recognition.

  • The portfolio names real projects with materials and planting detail, and the review base sits at 4.9 from 15 Google reviews, seen 3 September 2026 [1][2]. The free consultation gives you a no-cost way to test the fit.

Limitations

  • No insurance details are published, so safeguards score as insufficient evidence; BALI membership is not claimed on the site [1].

  • The firm is based in Market Drayton rather than Telford, so check travel coverage and any visit charges for your postcode [1].
