Ringwood, Fordingbridge & the New Forest Fringe
Landscaping & Garden Services in Ringwood & Fordingbridge, Hampshire
Greenflints provides landscaping and garden services to homeowners across Ringwood, Fordingbridge and the villages of the New Forest fringe. From garden maintenance and fencing through to patios, planting and complete garden design. A family-run team with over a decade of experience working across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Dorset.
Serving the gardens of the New Forest fringe
The western edge of Hampshire, where the county meets Dorset and the New Forest National Park begins, is a landscape unlike anywhere else in the south of England. Ringwood sits on the Avon at the forest’s south-western corner, a busy, well-connected market town that has grown considerably in recent years while retaining its distinctly rural character. Fordingbridge, a dozen miles to the north along the Avon Valley, is quieter and more traditional, a small riverside town surrounded by some of the most unspoilt countryside in Hampshire, on the edge of Cranborne Chase and just inside the National Park boundary.
The properties across this area are varied: newer residential development in Ringwood’s expanding estates sits alongside older village properties, substantial rural houses, and farmhouses that have sat in the same Hampshire landscape for centuries. The gardens reflect that variety, and they benefit from a landscaping company that can work across all of it.
Greenflints serves Ringwood, Fordingbridge and the surrounding villages from our base in Andover, approximately 20 miles to the north-east. We cover this part of Hampshire regularly, working across the New Forest fringe and into the Avon Valley communities on both sides of the Hampshire-Dorset border. We’re a family-run, owner-operated team, and we bring the same personal service, honest pricing and genuine commitment to quality to every garden we work on, wherever it sits within our area.

What We Do
Our landscaping & garden services in Ringwood & Fordingbridge
From thoughtful garden design suited to the New Forest fringe landscape through to hard landscaping, fencing, planting and reliable year-round maintenance. We provide a complete service for homeowners across Ringwood, Fordingbridge and the surrounding area.
Garden design
The landscape around Ringwood and Fordingbridge has a strong character; the heathland and forest to the east, the open Avon Valley to the north, Cranborne Chase beyond. We offer a free consultation and produce detailed drawings before any work begins, designing gardens that feel genuinely connected to their surroundings. Whether you’re after a low-maintenance contemporary space, a traditional garden in keeping with an older property, or something that embraces the natural character of the forest fringe. We’ll design it properly, from the ground up.
Garden maintenance
Gardens on the edge of the New Forest have their own seasonal demands. Heathland soils that behave differently from the chalk downland further north, a growing season shaped by the forest microclimate, and autumn and winter management that sets the garden up well for the year ahead. Our maintenance service covers regular grass cutting and strimming, pruning and hedge trimming, mulching and composting, seasonal clear-ups and comprehensive lawn care, all delivered on a schedule tailored to your garden.
Patios & hard landscaping
A well-designed outdoor space extends the usability of your home and makes the most of Hampshire’s warmer months. We design and install patios across a full range of materials, natural stone, porcelain, block paving and others, always choosing the finish that suits the property and the garden. Our hard landscaping work also covers steps and retaining walls, drainage and trenching, steel edging and fabrication, and timber construction of all kinds.
Fencing
From close-board panel fencing for residential gardens in Ringwood through to post-and-rail and chestnut pale fencing for larger rural properties around Fordingbridge and the Avon Valley villages. We supply and install the right fence for every property type in this part of Hampshire. Quality materials, careful installation, and the kind of finish that stands up to the damp, exposed conditions of the forest fringe.
Soft landscaping & planting
The New Forest fringe encompasses several distinct planting environments; the acid heathland soils of the forest edge, the richer alluvial soils of the Avon Valley, and the chalk on the northern approaches towards Fordingbridge and Cranborne Chase. We’ll recommend species suited to your specific soil and setting: from heathland and acid-loving plants to classic English cottage garden planting, native hedgerow species, wildflower areas and productive fruit and vegetable gardens.
Irrigation systems
For new planting schemes, kitchen gardens or established borders that need consistent moisture through Hampshire’s drier summer months, we design and install bespoke irrigation systems. Particularly useful for gardens on the sandier, more free-draining soils of the forest edge, where moisture retention can be a challenge during dry spells.
