Hi, I’m Mike Barker, the owner of Ace of Spades Gardens. For the past 15 years, I’ve been delivering expert Landscape Gardening Services, transforming outdoor spaces across Norfolk with fresh and vibrant designs for both homeowners and businesses.
From lush garden designs to sleek hardscaping, my team and I are dedicated to making your dream landscape a reality.
In this guide, I’ll take you through Norfolk’s unique world of landscape gardening. We’ll cover garden design and maintenance essentials, empowering you to make informed choices about your outdoor space.
Creating Beautiful Outdoor Spaces
Our Landscaping Services strike the right balance
A beautiful garden often strikes a balance between hard and soft landscaping elements. Hard landscaping includes patios, pathways, and water features—the ‘bones’ of your garden. On the other hand, soft landscaping focuses on the living elements: the trees, flowers, and shrubs that bring it all to life. Together, these elements create a harmonious, visually appealing outdoor environment.

Gardening in Norfolk: Embracing the Local Landscape
Norfolk has a unique climate, with its mild temperatures and sandy, free-draining soils that are both a blessing and a challenge for gardeners. Drawing inspiration from local gardens like East Runton Old Vicarage and the Millennium Garden at Pensthorpe, we help you craft your own beautiful, sustainable space.
Keeping it simple is key—we recommend focusing on a limited palette of colours and forms to create a cohesive look. We’re also mindful of climate change, encouraging sustainable gardening practices that support local flora and fauna.
