Best for: larger landscaping and grounds projects

Arcox Landscaping Ltd in short

Arcox Landscaping Ltd is a Telford firm built for the bigger end of the work: hard and soft landscaping, design, paving, driveways, tree work and grounds maintenance, delivered with its own plant fleet and client testimonials on show. The firm covers domestic and commercial projects across Telford and Shropshire, from design through maintenance [1]. Behind the name sits an active limited company with its waste carrier registration on the register. That one-firm spread of plant, design and maintenance is what sets it apart.

Trade-body memberships are listed on the firm's own site, and a consultation route opens the conversation [1]. Our verdict is that Arcox Landscaping fits larger domestic or commercial projects where design, build and aftercare sit with a single contractor. The plant fleet and the design arm are what set it apart from the smaller builders in the table.

Customer reviews are excellent, with a five-star Google rating across a large set of reviews [4]. Client testimonials on the firm's own site sit behind that rating, giving two places where customers speak [1][4]. That depth of customer voice is among the strongest in the round.

What counts against it is a history wobble and missing cover detail: the site's establishment claim does not match the company record, and no insurance statement is published. In our judgement the customer evidence matters more than both for a well-specified project, but the history and the cover remain open questions at the quote stage.

Industry qualifications

Sourced from the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders, on the date shown.

Strengths

  • The site lists hard and soft landscaping, design, paving, driveways, tree work and grounds maintenance [1]. It shows its own plant fleet alongside client testimonials [1].

  • Arcox Landscaping Ltd is active on Companies House and holds upper-tier waste carrier registration CBDU405069 [2][3]. The Google listing shows 5.0 from 34 reviews, seen 3 September 2026 [4].

Limitations

  • The site states the firm was established in 2005 but Companies House shows incorporation in 2020, so ask what the earlier date refers to before you rely on it [1][2].

  • No insurance statement was found on the site, so insurance is scored as insufficient evidence rather than as a failing.

Questions about Arcox Landscaping Ltd

Is Arcox Landscaping any good?

On the evidence, yes for bigger briefs: it ranks fourth of the ten Telford landscape gardeners, holds a five-star Google rating across a large set of reviews, and shows its own plant fleet with an active company record behind it. Read the full review and its sources. Ask for a consultation on your project scope.

Is Arcox Landscaping registered with a trade scheme?

SMAS and Trading Standards memberships are listed on the firm's own website, and its waste carrier registration is on the register [1][3]. No insurance statement was found on the site, so ask for proof of cover alongside the membership details. Get both in writing before you sign. Get the membership dates confirmed in the same reply.

What does Arcox Landscaping charge?

A consultation is offered but no rates, free-quote statement or VAT terms are published [1]. That means your quote does the talking: brief the full build, including design and maintenance, and ask for an itemised quote. Confirm what the price covers before you agree anything. Ask for design, build and aftercare priced separately.

Where does Arcox Landscaping work?

The firm works across Telford and Shropshire, covering domestic and commercial projects from design through maintenance [1]. Send your postcode with the project brief to confirm you are covered. Ask who will manage the groundworks. Mention access, levels and drainage when you brief the project. Commercial sites should name the contract length.

How do I get a quote from Arcox Landscaping?

Ask for a consultation through the firm's website, sending the project scope with photos, measurements and your postcode [1]. Brief the full build at once, including design, groundworks and aftercare, so the price reflects one contractor owning it all. Get the consultation notes followed up by an itemised written quote.

What do customers say about Arcox Landscaping?

The held evidence is a five-star Google rating across a large set of reviews, backed by client testimonials shown on the firm's own site [1][4]. That pairing of independent reviews with named client accounts is rare in this round. Read a spread of the Google reviews in full through the listing link.

How does Arcox Landscaping compare with the others in the round?

It ranks fourth of the ten, the highest-placed project builder below a care-led top two and a tree-first third. Our verdict is that Arcox is the choice where scale matters: its own plant and design span suits bigger briefs that would stretch the smaller firms. For steady care or pure tree work, the firms above fit better.
