Our Story: About AJS Gardening

AJS Gardening is a local, independent gardening and landscaping business based in Torbay, serving homes, estates and managed properties across South Devon.

How We Started

What began as a passion for working outdoors grew into a full-time business. We saw a gap in the market for a gardening service that combined reliability with genuine quality — not just turning up with a mower, but actually caring about the results and building lasting relationships with clients.

From those early days, AJS Gardening has grown steadily through word of mouth and repeat business. We're proud that the majority of our work comes from recommendations and long-standing clients who trust us to look after their outdoor spaces.

What We Stand For

Reliability — we turn up when we say we will, do what we say we'll do, and communicate clearly. It sounds basic, but it's the number one thing our clients value.

Quality — we take pride in our work. Whether it's mowing a lawn or building a retaining wall, the standard is the same. We don't cut corners.

Honesty — we'll always give you an honest assessment of what your garden needs. If something doesn't need doing, we'll tell you. If there's a more cost-effective way to achieve what you want, we'll suggest it.

Sustainability — we're committed to reducing our environmental impact. All green waste is recycled locally, and we're progressively switching to electric tools powered by solar charging. You can read more about this in our sustainability blog post.

Where We Work

We cover a wide area across South Devon, including Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot, Totnes, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge, Ivybridge, Ashburton, Buckfastleigh, Bovey Tracey, and surrounding rural areas. For larger properties and estates, we're happy to discuss work further afield.

Green Thumbs, Happy Homes

Our tagline says it all. We genuinely love what we do, and that shows in the care we put into every garden we maintain, every space we design, and every project we deliver. If you're looking for a gardener you can rely on, we'd love to hear from you.
