Oadby sits in the LE2 postcode on the southern edge of Leicester, where post-war detached and semi-detached housing offers some of the most generous garden plots in the city — many with 12–18 m rear lawns and wide side accesses. The ground here is predominantly heavy Mercia Mudstone clay with occasional pockets of glacial outwash gravel near the Sence valley, so drainage design is always factored into our sub-base specification. From sandstone patio extensions at The Oval to full garden makeovers along Harborough Road, we deliver beautifully finished outdoor spaces at fixed, transparent prices — with a complimentary AI visualisation of your finished garden.

We know Oadby and the surrounding LE2 area. Local knowledge, competitive local pricing.
Trusted by hundreds of homeowners across Leicestershire. Quality workmanship, every time.
Oadby sits south-east of Leicester, an established and affluent suburb, in the LE2 postcode area. For us, that's approximately 10km from our base at 44 Barwell Road, Kirby Muxloe (about 20 minutes by van), which means we can usually run a site visit in Oadby within a few days of booking. Our work in Oadby typically takes us along A6 London Road, Stoughton Road, Glen Road, Wigston Road, covering streets including Oadby village, Stoughton Drive, Glen Road area, Wigston Road border.
Oadby sits within the boundary of Oadby & Wigston Borough Council — they are the local planning authority for any landscaping work that requires consent in Oadby. Most domestic patio, decking and driveway projects are permitted development, but anything in a conservation area, listed property, or fronting a highway can need consent and we'll always check the latest local rules before quoting.
Oadby is characterised by predominantly 1960s–70s detached and semi-detached homes with generous rear gardens. 60–100ft rear gardens are typical — among the most generous of any of our service areas. Notable local landmarks include the University of Leicester Botanic Garden (a benchmark for what a well-maintained Leicestershire garden looks like), Brocks Hill Country Park, and the Oadby Village Conservation Area.
From experience installing in Oadby: predominantly clay across the district, though the slightly elevated ground around Wigston Road and Stoughton Road drains marginally better than the lower-lying streets. On drainage specifically, the Oadby Village Conservation Area covers the old village core near Church Road; properties in or adjacent to it may need consent for external works and we handle the conservation paperwork as part of the quote.
The work we are asked to do most often in Oadby is full garden makeovers (the larger plots allow separate seating and dining areas), composite decking with festoon lighting, and porcelain patios with planted borders. We deliver the full range of services across the area — patios in porcelain, sandstone and natural stone; artificial grass; composite decking; block-paving, resin and porcelain driveways; garden lighting; fencing; turfing; pergolas; and full end-to-end garden makeovers.
Every Oadby project starts the same way: a free instant online quote with itemised pricing within minutes, plus the option of a free AI garden design preview if you upload a photo. There is no charge for either, no obligation, and no sales call required — the quote and design are yours to keep whether you proceed or not.
Oadby is one of Leicestershire's most sought-after residential areas, and the garden standards here reflect that. The majority of properties are 1960s–70s detached and semi-detached homes with generous rear gardens — typically 60–100ft in length. The University of Leicester's Botanic Garden sits at the heart of the area and sets the bar high for what a well-maintained garden can look like.
The Oadby Village Conservation Area covers the old village centre near Church Road. If your property falls within or adjacent to this area, some external works may require consent — we're familiar with the requirements and can guide you through the process before any work starts.
Soil conditions in Oadby are similar to central Leicester — predominantly clay, though the slightly elevated ground around Wigston Road and Stoughton Road drains marginally better. We recently completed a project in LE2: full rear garden redesign featuring a Millboard composite deck, artificial grass, and festoon lighting. The larger plot size allowed for a separate seating and dining area — a layout that works particularly well for this style of property.
We cover the full LE2 postcode area across Oadby and the surrounding streets, including Oadby village, Stoughton Drive, Glen Road area and beyond. If you are not sure whether your address falls in our service area, send us a postcode and we will confirm before quoting.
Oadby is approximately 10km from our base at 44 Barwell Road, Kirby Muxloe — about a 20-minute drive. We typically run a site visit within a few days of booking.
Oadby & Wigston Borough Council is the local planning authority for Oadby. Most domestic patio, artificial grass, decking and driveway projects fall under permitted development and need no planning permission. Conservation-area work, listed buildings, or anything fronting a highway can need consent — we check the latest local rules before quoting and handle any paperwork as part of the project.
In Oadby: predominantly clay across the district, though the slightly elevated ground around Wigston Road and Stoughton Road drains marginally better than the lower-lying streets. We always factor local ground conditions into our sub-base specification, which is why a quote from a landscaper who knows the area will usually be more accurate than one from a contractor based outside Leicestershire.
