Laurel Landscapes (UK), a respected landscape contractor based in Cardiff, Wales, has been acquired by Blakedown Landscapes (South East), one of the UK’s leading landscaping, civil engineering, and sports facility specialists.
Founded in 2006 by Jonathan Griffin, Laurel Landscapes operates across South Wales and the South West of England, delivering commercial and domestic landscaping projects of all sizes and complexities with consistent quality.
The company’s core services include landscape installation, grounds maintenance, sports ground construction, and playground design and installation, serving a broad mix of private and public sector clients.
Over the years, Laurel Landscapes has built a strong reputation for reliability and craftsmanship, working with blue-chip clients such as Waitrose, Aldi, HSBC, NatWest, DHL, B&Q, and Shell across numerous sites.
The business was offered for sale to support the retirement of the founder, creating an ideal opportunity for a purchaser to acquire a well-established, profitable, and highly regarded company with further growth potential.
Blakedown Landscapes (S.E.), based in Woking, Surrey, was founded in 1968 and is managed by Steve Buckingham. The firm has grown into one of the UK’s most experienced and award-winning landscaping and civil engineering companies.
Its portfolio spans public spaces, parks, sports facilities, and infrastructure projects nationwide, often delivered in collaboration with local authorities, developers, and major institutions.
The acquisition enables Blakedown to expand its operational coverage into Wales, strengthening its national presence while adding Laurel’s expertise and established client relationships.
Together, the two companies combine decades of experience, a commitment to quality and service excellence, and a shared vision for continued growth across the UK.
