Garden Design in Wilmslow, Planned Before Anything Is Built

Garden design in Wilmslow that plans the whole garden before a single slab is lifted: levels, drainage, where the sun lands and how you want to use it. Steve comes out, looks at the garden and gives you a free quote before anything is agreed.
Levels, drainage and light assessed on site
Hard landscaping and planting designed together
Layout and materials agreed before work is quoted

What affects scope

  • The size of the garden and how much of it is changing
  • Changes in level that need walls or steps
  • How much detail you want in the drawings
  • Features such as a pool, water feature, garden room or lighting

What to send first

  • Rough measurements, or the size of the plot if you know it
  • How you want to use the space and anything you want to keep
  • Pictures of any gardens you like

Good fit when

  • You want the whole garden rethought rather than one job done
  • The garden slopes or has awkward levels
  • You want to see the finished garden before committing to the build

Once the design is agreed, the build runs through Landscaping, with Paving and Patios and Fencing and Walling covering the hard surfaces and boundaries.

Garden design at Wilsonjones Landscapes starts with a visit to your garden in Wilmslow. Steve walks it with you and looks at the levels, where water sits after rain and which parts get the sun. He looks at how you get from the house into the garden, then asks how you want to use it. That might be somewhere to eat outside, a lawn for the children, a quiet corner, or room for a pool or a garden room.

From there he draws up a layout and, where it helps, drawings that show how the finished garden will look from the house. You see the terraces, walls, steps and planting before anything is built. Hard landscaping and planting are designed together, so the garden works as a whole.

Because the same team builds what is drawn, the design is worked out with the build in mind. That means levels that can actually be achieved, drainage with somewhere to go and materials that suit the house. Once the design is agreed, we build it as part of our landscaping, with paving and patios, fencing and walling covering the hard surfaces and boundaries.

The cost depends on the size of the garden and how much of it is changing. Changes in level that need walls or steps add to it, as do features such as a pool, water feature, garden room or lighting. How much detail you want in the drawings matters too. You agree the layout and materials before the build is quoted, so you know what you are paying for.

To get started, send us a few photos of the garden from the house and from the far end. Add rough measurements if you have them and how you want to use the space. Pictures of gardens you like help too. The first visit costs you nothing, and you see the plan before you commit to anything.

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. Richard”

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 I have to pay for the first visit?
No. Steve comes out, looks at the garden, talks through what you want and gives you a free quote before anything is agreed.
Will I see drawings before the work starts?
Yes. You see the layout and the materials first, and 3D drawings can show how the finished garden will look from the house.
Do you build the garden as well?
Yes. Wilsonjones Landscapes designs and builds, so the people who drew the plan are the ones who dig, lay and plant it.
Is a small garden worth designing?
Yes. In a small space every metre counts, and working out the layout first stops room being wasted on paths or steps in the wrong place.
