Homes in Knutsford
If your home is in or near the conservation area at the centre of Knutsford, mention it when you get in touch so we can bear it in mind from the start of the design. With an older building, we choose materials and lines with the house in mind as well as the plot. Whatever the age of the property, the practical side stays the same: paths and patios need a properly dug and compacted sub-base, and a patio should fall slightly away from the house so rainwater drains off. The photo shows a finished garden of ours from above, with a circular sunken seating area, a firepit and a curved bench set into artificial grass and porcelain stepping stones. The reviewer praised the design talent behind their garden.
“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 Knutsford
A design covers the levels across the garden, the views from the house, where the sun reaches and what you want to use the space for. We then balance terraces, walls, steps and structures with planting, and show you the layout and materials. Only then do we price the work, and the same team can carry it through from excavation to the final planting.
- Site assessment of levels, drainage and light
- Terraces finished with coping, edge courses and steps that look designed, not simply laid
- Planting designed with the paving and walls, not added afterwards
Questions about garden design in Knutsford
Do you design the hard landscaping and the planting separately?
No. We design them together, so walls, terraces and steps are softened by the planting around them and the garden works as a single plan.
Can we see the materials before you price the job?
Yes. The layout and the materials are agreed with you before the work is quoted.
What surfaces can a terrace be?
We lay porcelain, sawn stone and block. Whichever you choose, the sub-base, falls and drainage underneath matter as much as the finish on top.
