Customers rate the firm 4.9 from 15 Google reviews, and press coverage describes award judging visits and show medals behind the work. Decades of family-run history sit behind the company record — a bigger regional design firm rather than a local round gardener, and the portfolio is the place to judge whether that scale suits your plot.
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.

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.

Is Butler Landscapes any good?
On the evidence, yes for designed gardens and major makeovers: decades of family-run history, national award recognition and a portfolio naming real projects with materials detail [1][4].

It offers a free design consultation but publishes no rates, call-out fee or VAT position [1]. Send the full project scope with measurements and photos, and ask for an itemised fixed quote. Confirm travel charges for your postcode in the same message, since the firm is based outside Telford.

What do customers say about Butler Landscapes?
Customers rate it 4.9 from 15 Google reviews, a strong but modest-sized record [2].
