About TLC Landscaping Design + Pools

Landscaping Done Right

We don’t do it for the accolades, but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t proud of the awards our team has won. For 12 years in a row, we’ve been London’s Top Voted Landscape Company in the Best of London Awards! How did we accomplish this? For more than 35 years, we’ve been maintaining, designing, and building landscapes for our clients the same way that we would for our friends, our family, or our own homes — the right way.

In 2022, we joined the Schill Landscaping family, which allows us to bring even better technology and operational support to our clients.
