Introducing Greenwood Groundscapes: A Family Tradition in Groundworks and Landscaping in Bexhill, East Sussex

Hello and welcome to the official Greenwood Groundscapes blog! We’re excited to kick things off by sharing a bit about who we are, what we do, and what you can expect from us—both on site and here on the blog.

A Family Legacy You Can Trust

Greenwood Groundscapes is more than just a groundworks and landscaping company—we’re a 3rd-generation family business proudly serving Bexhill and the East Sussex area. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, our roots run deep in the trade.

My dad, Scott, has worked in groundworks his whole life and built a solid reputation across East Sussex for quality, honesty, and skill. Now, I’m proud to be joining him in the business—bringing together his decades of experience with my background in people-first service and modern project management.

I’m currently transitioning from a career in the tech world. A few years ago, I fell in love with my own garden and the satisfaction of building things by hand. It sparked something in me—a desire to create, work outdoors, and carry on the family trade. So I made the decision to leave the office behind and get stuck into real work, side by side with my dad.

Together, we’re blending traditional know-how with a fresh, modern approach to customer service—and we can’t wait to help you transform your space.

What We Do

We offer a wide range of groundworks and hard landscaping services to homeowners, builders, and developers across East Sussex. Whether it's preparing the ground for a new build or transforming an outdoor space, we bring the same level of care and precision to every job. Some of our most common services include:

• Reinforced concrete bases and slabs

• Driveways and patios (block paving, gravel, concrete, etc.)

• Footings and foundations for extensions or new builds

• Site preparation and clearance

• Drainage, soakaways, and ducting

• Retaining walls and edging

• Garden structures like raised beds and sleeper borders

• Turfing, levelling, and ground shaping

And if it’s not listed here—don’t worry. If it’s in the ground or in the garden, chances are we can do it. Just drop us a message and we’ll let you know if it’s something we can help with (spoiler: it probably is).

What Makes Us Different?

We’re a small, family-run team—which means no big overheads, no pushy sales tactics, and no cutting corners. Just honest, reliable work built on reputation.

✅ Over 30 years’ experience

✅ A personal, friendly approach

✅ Pride in every project, big or small

✅ Flexible and transparent quotes
