About R D Landscapes

We look after your garden, so that you can just enjoy it.

Russell Dodd has worked in horticulture for more than 25 years, after leaving school he started work in the family business in Dalton-in-Furness this was a small garden centre and nursery specialising in hardy plants. He gained a wide range of horticultural skills and plant knowledge over this time and also studied at Newton Rigg College, Penrith.

After this the garden centre expanded and moved to Ulverston, here he worked for 15 years on the outdoor plant section at Hill Foot Garden Centre buying and selling plants to retail customers, over this time he gained a wealth of knowledge and understanding on plant varieties, habits, soil requirements etc. He studied the botanical plant names for the plants sold and now is able to identify and name over 1000 plants.

Russell started designing gardens at an early age and has exhibited for the past 20 years creating display show gardens that have won top horticultural awards including 3 large gold medals, 5 gold medals, best in show and best walk through garden at the Holker Hall Garden Festival. He has extensive experience in the design and construction of gardens of all sizes having landscaped well over 400 gardens in the Furness area including traditional English, modern and contemporary, oriental and Japanese, Mediterranean, wildlife, low maintenance, cottage and many more styles.

Russell is supported by a skilled team of gardeners, whose work always reflects his exacting standards in providing the very best gardening and landscaping service.

Every project, including the latest one, has been carried out with care, efficiency and high quality. Pricing is competitive and good value, and the workers are tidy, respectful and stick to what they say. Russ Dodd gives responsive and transparent quotes for works, but there is never pressure. I would highly recommend using RD Landscapes for your garden and landscaping projects.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can’t praise Russell & his team high enough. Russell came to measure up for a quote bang on time. Kept us updated with times.
We wanted some flag stones taken up, digging down, soil & then turf laid, with a little corner area with shrubs for the cat.
They did a fantastic job & for a good price, it looks great, left us with care tips for the new turf too, we even had some weeds in a planter & a bit of grass showing through a flag which we hadn’t got round to doing ,  which they got rid of & they left it cleaner & tidier when finished than it was before they even came round.
When we need a new fence or anything else they will be our first call.
They did a great job & highly recommend their work.

Russell and his team recently transformed our garden from rotten flower beds and uneven artificial grass to a beautiful green even artificial grass area in the front and back of our property which our kids are going to love. I couldn’t recommend them more, managed to get us in really quickly and completely the work quickly and efficiently.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Russell and team have worked tirelessly to complete our garden transformation inc fencing. From intial quotation to queries Russell was very attentitive and always on hand to answer. Once work commenced the team were on the job every day as planned despite some challenging weather conditions, accomodating any further queries or slight changes to scope and have managed to finish our job ahead of schedule, which is no surprise for their efforts. Great job, thanks all and would highly recommend!
