Fencing and Walling in Cheshire and Greater Manchester

Across Cheshire and Greater Manchester, we put up timber and composite fences and garden walls built to stay standing. Retaining walls get proper footings and drainage.

What affects scope

  • The length and height of the fence or wall
  • Timber, composite, brick or stone
  • How much soil a retaining wall holds back
  • Removing an old fence or wall first

What to send first

  • Approximate length and height needed
  • Whether the boundary is shared with a neighbour
  • The material you would like, if you know

Good fit when

  • A fence has blown down or rotted at the posts
  • The garden slopes and you want a level area
  • You want privacy or screening around a seating area

Where a wall is part of a sloping garden, Landscaping covers the levels, steps and drainage around it.

Wilsonjones Landscapes puts up fences, garden walls and retaining walls across Cheshire, Trafford and Greater Manchester, including Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Altrincham and Sale. Fencing covers boundaries, screening and privacy, in timber or composite panels. The posts are set firmly in the ground so the fence stays straight in the wind. If an old fence has blown down or rotted at the posts, we take it out and remove it as part of the job.

Walls range from low brick walls around a patio to stone or reclaimed-brick feature walls and raised beds. Brick work and stone work are part of what we do, so a wall can be matched to the house or to paving elsewhere in the garden.

Retaining walls are the heavier end of the job. Where a garden slopes, they hold back the soil so you can have a level lawn or patio. They need a proper footing and drainage behind them, or the pressure of wet soil will push them over in time. Steve looks at the height, the soil and how wet the ground is before deciding how a wall is built.

Values

Design and build in one team

The layout, the groundworks, the hard landscaping and the planting are handled by the same people, so the finished garden matches the plan rather than a subcontractor's interpretation of it.

Based in Wilmslow

We work across Cheshire and Greater Manchester, from Wilmslow, Alderley Edge and Knutsford to Bramhall, Hale and Altrincham.

What our customers say

“Steve and his team did an outstanding job designing and installing a new patio for us. The project was extensive, encompassing the entire property, including a courtyard, living area, pathways, and patios that wrap around the house. Throughout the project, Steve and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, delivering exceptional workmanship at a fair and competitive price. Communication was excellent from start to finish, ensuring we were always informed and confident about the progress of the work. Steve has since returned to complete additional landscaping work for us, further reinforcing the quality of his service and commitment to customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend Steve and his team to anyone considering a landscaping or patio project. Their design expertise, practical knowledge, and ability to provide creative inspiration, combined with their attention to detail and reliability, make them a pleasure to work with from concept through to completion.

Steve is also a really great bloke as well (which does matter when the team are around your home and family for a period of time). Highly recommend Steve and his team!”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes. Without it, water builds up in the soil behind the wall and adds to the load. A good retaining wall has a solid footing and a way for that water to get out.
Should I choose timber or composite fencing?
Timber costs less to put up and can be stained to suit the garden. Composite costs more but needs almost no upkeep and will not rot.
Can you take the old fence away?
Yes. Old panels, posts and concrete are taken out and removed as part of the job.
Can you help if a fence post has snapped or rotted?
Yes. A fence that has blown down or rotted at the posts is a good fit for us. Send photos of the boundary and the rough length, and say whether it is shared with a neighbour.
