Homes in Congleton
If you live in a twentieth-century family home, the garden may already have a patio, a lawn and a boundary chosen by someone else. A design looks at those pieces and how they would connect with anything new. If an existing patio has lifted or stains easily, that points to what is underneath: a patio should fall slightly away from the house so rain runs off, and it lasts longest on a properly dug and compacted sub-base. The showreel on this page shows our finished work, including porcelain patios with lit steps, planting and an aerial view of a whole garden. The reviewer praised the bold suggestions that took their project further than they had planned.
“We cannot recommend WilsonJones Landscape Design highly enough. We are absolutely delighted with the results. Stephen has totally given our back garden the “Wow factor”, with an absolutely stunning transformation. What started as a small project, evolved into something we’d never have imagined for our own garden. This was mainly thanks to Stephen’s bold suggestions and great design talents Retaining walls, steps, elevated decking area with a glass balustrade, artificial lawn, and to top it all off, a beautiful fish pond, with cascading “water blade” waterfall. What looks wonderful during the day, looks absolutely amazing at night when the lights are switched on. We get loads of comments and admiration from the neighbours, and visitors too. We are completely over the moon with the whole project. Couldn't wish for better! Thank you Stephen.”
What matters for garden design in Congleton
After the site visit we put together a layout that brings the built parts of the garden and the planting together. You see the plan and the materials before the quote. If you then want us to build it, the work covers groundworks, drainage, walls, terraces, structures and planting.
- We look at drainage, levels and light on your plot
- What is already in the garden is taken into account in the plan
- Patios in porcelain, sawn stone or block, with coping, edging and step details worked out
- Retaining walls with proper footings and drainage behind them where levels change
Questions about garden design in Congleton
Our patio has lifted and stains easily. Can a new design sort that out?
What sits underneath decides it: the sub-base depth, the compaction, the fall away from the house and where the water drains. When we design and lay a new terrace, those are worked out properly.
What needs to be settled before you can quote?
The layout and materials. They come out of the design stage and are agreed with you, so the quote reflects what will actually be built.
