Where the quality of the cut is everything.
Year-round, structured grounds management for private estates, country houses and managed gardens across Wales and the South West. Discreet, professional and consistent.
Private estate owners and property managers know within minutes of arriving whether the grounds have been properly looked after. The stripes in the lawn. The neatness of the hedge line. The edges along the paths. These things matter — and the people who care about them know when they've been done well and when they haven't.
We work to that standard. Not because we're told to, but because it's the only way we know how to do the job. Every visit, every season, regardless of whether the owner is in residence.
Based in Bristol and working across Wales and the South West, we manage grounds for private estates ranging from country houses to managed rural properties. Each site is visited on a planned programme, not when we happen to be passing.
Every stripe. Every edge. Every time.
Larger grounds maintenance contractors will give you a contract manager you never meet and an operative who changes with the rota. We work differently.
Every estate we manage is the direct responsibility of the person who founded this company. That means continuity of approach, genuine knowledge of your site, and a single point of contact who knows your grounds as well as you do.
CM Gardening Ltd works alongside our sister company Rowan Shaw Estate Management to provide a complete estate care service for private estates and residential developments.
Where CM Gardening looks after your grounds, Rowan Shaw handles the wider estate management — maintenance coordination, contractor oversight, compliance and resident liaison. Together, we offer something that's genuinely rare: a complete, founder-led estate service from a single point of contact.
We offer a free site visit and no-obligation discussion for all new estate enquiries. We'll walk the grounds with you, understand what matters most, and propose a programme that fits your property and your expectations.
