A family business from Sutton-in-Ashfield.
C&L was founded by Lucian Catalin Cojocariu as a small local landscaping firm. It is still family-run, and Lucian still quotes every job himself.
We build driveways, patios and gardens across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, including Mansfield, Kirkby-in-Ashfield and the NG17 postcode area. Working locally means we know the clay soils, the drainage problems and the house styles, and we plan each job around them.
Most of our work comes from recommendations. One customer’s neighbour booked us on the day we finished next door. We think that says more than any slogan.

Today
A full team covering hard and soft landscaping across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
We know the ground we build on.
Heavy clay in parts of Ashfield, sloping plots around Mansfield, older terraces with tight access: local conditions change how a driveway or patio should be built. We plan excavation, sub-base and drainage around them so the surface stays level for years.
