Oscar Sly Landscapes

I’ve been a landscape gardener for over 20 years now. I’ve helped create everything from small court-yard hideaways to large rolling countryside gardens. I will work with you through every part of the project, from pre-planning to after-care, and at every stage, I will never lose sight of your individual wishes and requirements.

I’m based in Wargrave, but also serve the towns of Henley-on-Thames, Twyford, Reading, Wokingham and Caversaham.

Landscape Garden Design

Say “Landscape Gardener” to most people and they think “Capability Brown”. However, I can safely say that 90% of my work involves a bag of cement. My job is to build the structure underneath the greenery. That said, with a background in green-keeping and fine turf management, I can do soft landscaping projects too.

Paving - Patios & Driveways

Paving is a part of my work that I really enjoy because you can see a good chunk of the job progress on a daily basis. The machinery comes out and stays on site for the duration so the job can progress quickly…

Brickwork - Entrance Gates and Retaining Walls

If you want a job done well…

In my early years of landscaping I found it difficult to get bricklayers when I needed them. So I trained to become a bricklayer, so now my jobs move on smoothly without any downtime…

Fencing & Decking

Fencing is very important from a security and aesthetic and point of view. It has to be strong and look good. There are a huge range of fencing styles – everything from rustic field post-and-rail fencing with galvanised stock wire to high close-board fencing with contemporary slatted panels. And everything in between… .

Groundwork

I can carry out groundwork and any type of excavation. My fleet of diggers and dumpers can make short work of any size job.

Summerhouses

I install summer house and shed bases in all shapes and sizes. And the buildings themselves can be made bespoke as they normally go at the back corners of gardens which can be peculiar shapes.

Retaining walls

Over the years I’ve tackled many retaining wall projects, some of which were challenging to say the least. None more so than a project we did by Marsh Lock in Henley where we had to rebuild an old wall right on the riverbank.

Driveways

Driveways come in all shapes and sizes and choosing the right surface is something of an art. I can walk you through the options and help you decide what would be best for you… .

Patios

I can install a complete range of surfaces from natural indian sandstone or traditional York-stone paving through to contemporary porcelain paving slabs. As all the different materials have different installation methods, costs can vary dramatically.

Decking

Decking is often used for raised areas at the back of properties or around hot tubs. I like to sink decking areas into the ground which gives a nice effect that you don’t normally see.

Entrance Gates

Entrance gates are important for both aesthetics and security. And they’re often expensive, so you want to get them right. I’ve installed everything from timber five-bar field gates to fully-automatic metal gates (along with the brickwork needed to hang them so they don’t fall out of the wall the first time you use them).

Sleepers

The days when all sleepers came from a British Rail siding are gone. Sleepers are now designed for all sorts of different uses and come in all shapes, sizes and woods.

“…it was his vision and understanding of what we wanted to achieve that transformed the garden

When we bought our house 12 years ago, the garden hadn’t been touched for about 20 years, and I didn’t know where to start. Oscar was recommended to us by friends, and it was his vision and understanding of what we wanted to achieve that transformed the garden. From coming up with patio and driveway designs to moving huge parts of the lawn around to create a large flat lawn. The execution was perfect, and Oscar was always happy to make changes on the fly as new ideas came up. We still use Oscar for all of the projects in our garden, and have had no hesitation recommending him to our friends, who have also been very satisfied.

“…He is reliable and diligent, seeing every project through to its finish.

Oscar has worked for me for over a decade on many landscaping projects, both small and large, in my current and previous home. I have found his work to be of a consistent high standard and he takes great pride in his work. He is also creative in finding solutions to problems when they arise. He is reliable and diligent, seeing every project through to its finish. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to others.

“…Oscar is very professional, reliable, knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to have around.

Last summer we needed to have our ageing patio and extensive 6 foot fencing around our garden replaced.  Oscar had recently done a beautiful patio for our neighbour, who recommended him to us.

We were extremely pleased with the advice Oscar gave us regarding the design of the patio and which materials were most suitable.

The fencing and patio are lovely, and exactly what we wanted.  Oscar is very professional, reliable, knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to have around. We would definitely recommend him to anyone needing any landscaping work done.
