#1 Luxury Estate & Garden Consultancy & Management Service in the UK

Premium horticulture for heritage homes, private gardens, and country houses

Veldra Group works with owners of high-value gardens, from Oxford’s heritage properties and half- to one-acre private plots to larger country estates. We combine consultancy with hands-on delivery to bring clarity, structure, and lasting beauty to mature gardens.

WHY CHOOSE VELDRA FOR ESTATE GARDEN CONSULTANCY & MANAGEMENT?

At Veldra, we believe gardens are more than landscapes. They are living legacies.

We provide consultancy-led seasonal plans, expert horticultural advice, and hands-on delivery tailored to your property, garden or private estate.

From our Northamptonshire base, we work with clients across Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire, and the Cotswolds, as well as prestigious homes in Surrey and Buckinghamshire.

THE CHALLENGES OF MANAGING SIGNIFICANT GARDENS

Maintaining a heritage garden, country house grounds, or private estate is complex. Without specialist guidance, even the most beautiful spaces can lose their structure and impact.

Have you ever experienced any of these frustrations?

Uncertainty over whether your garden is really being cared for in the right way
Work being carried out without a clear seasonal plan or long-term vision
Contractors who promise quality but fail to meet the standards your property deserves
A garden that does not reflect the true character, prestige, or potential of your home

If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone. These are exactly the challenges Veldra Group exists to solve.
