Garden Design in Macclesfield
Homes in Macclesfield
Macclesfield grew on silk making, and its Victorian terraces and mill workers' cottages still make up much of the town. If your home is a terrace or cottage with a small garden, every decision shows: where the seating goes, how you step from the back door to the lawn, where water runs when it rains. A patio should fall slightly away from the house so rain drains off. The later family homes in the town raise the same questions on a different footprint. The photo shows a finished garden of ours, with a striped lawn beside a pale porcelain patio and a timber garden room along the boundary fence. The reviewer beside it praised how a small project grew into something they had not imagined.
“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 Macclesfield
Small gardens and full plot reworks go through the same process. We come and look at the levels, drainage and light, then design the paving, walls, steps and planting together so they read as a whole. Once you are happy with the layout and the materials, we quote for the work.
- A site visit to check levels, how the ground drains and where the sun lands
- Paving laid on a properly dug and compacted sub-base, with falls away from the house
- Boundaries and screening in timber, composite, brick or stone
- A quote based on the agreed layout and materials
Questions about garden design in Macclesfield
Is our garden too small to need a design?
No. We work on small back gardens as well as whole plots. A plan settles where seating, paths and planting go before anything is built, whatever the size.
Can a new fence or wall be part of the design?
Yes. We build boundaries and retaining walls in timber, composite, brick and stone. The right choice depends on the span, the load it carries, how exposed it is and the look you want.
