Whether your garden has become overgrown and unmanageable, you’re dealing with poor drainage on Wiltshire’s chalk soils, or you want an outdoor living space your family can use year-round, landscaping Wiltshire services turn problem gardens into attractive, functional spaces that work for the way you live or operate.

Here you’ll find what to expect from garden design, patio and paving installation, decking, turfing, planting and tree work, water features, project timelines, planning permission requirements, and examples of how local gardens have been transformed. In a county where chalk ground, drainage issues, and changing seasonal conditions can affect both the build and long-term success of a garden, getting the design and groundwork right from the start makes the difference between a space that struggles and one you can enjoy throughout the year.

Choosing a landscaper is a big decision. Here’s why Wiltshire residents trust us with their outdoor spaces:
Our reputation across Wiltshire is built on genuine local expertise that makes a measurable difference to every garden project we take on.
We offer a full spectrum of landscaping services for domestic and commercial clients – from simple turfing to complete garden renovations. Whatever the scale of your project, our dedicated team has the skills and passion to deliver outstanding results.
Great landscaping starts with great garden design. We create custom designs tailored to your property, lifestyle, and budget. Garden design in Wiltshire averages £4,024, though costs vary depending on size and complexity. Our designs incorporate modular planting schemes that assist in creating flexible garden designs in Wiltshire, meaning your space can evolve as your needs change. Every design reflects the county’s distinct character – landscaping design in Wiltshire blends historic charm with sustainable practices.
Patios and paving form the backbone of any functional outside space. We work with natural stone, porcelain, block paving, and permeable materials suited to Wiltshire’s drainage needs. Permeable materials and sustainable drainage are essential for managing rainwater, particularly on properties with chalk subsoil or high water tables. A typical 25 m² patio in the region costs between £2,000 and £6,500, including sub-base preparation and drainage.
Decking extends your usable garden space – perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or giving the kids a safe area to play. We install timber and composite decking with integrated seating, pergolas, and lighting. Zoned outdoor living spaces improve garden usability in Wiltshire, and our designs make the most of every square metre whether your garden is compact or sprawling.
A fresh lawn transforms the look and feel of any garden overnight. Turfing costs around £999 on average in Wiltshire, and we handle everything from ground preparation to laying and initial aftercare. We also install artificial grass for low-maintenance gardens that suit Wiltshire’s local conditions – ideal for shaded areas or gardens where a pristine lawn matters but time for upkeep doesn’t.
Choosing the right plants for Wiltshire’s alkaline soils is critical. We specialise in drought-tolerant planting that benefits gardens in Wiltshire’s porous chalk geology, alongside naturalistic planting schemes that are becoming increasingly popular across the county. Tree planting averages £401 in Wiltshire, and we work with native species – hawthorn, beech, oak, yew – as well as ornamentals suited to your soil and aspect. Pruning, hedge trimming, and ongoing maintenance are all part of the service.
Wildlife-friendly features like ponds attract local species in Wiltshire gardens, from frogs and newts to dragonflies. Pond construction costs about £2,889 on average, while smaller water features average £1,309 in Wiltshire. From formal water gardens inspired by The Courts Garden – a National Trust property featuring formal and water gardens – to naturalistic wildlife ponds, we design and build features that bring nature into your space.
We make the process straightforward so you know exactly what to expect from first contact to final walkthrough.
We start with a free, no-obligation consultation at your property. Our team surveys the site – assessing soil type, drainage, slopes, access, shading, and existing features. We discuss your ideas, how you use your garden, and what you want to achieve. This thorough site assessment means no surprises later.
Based on your brief, we create a detailed design with 3D visuals, a materials schedule, and an itemised quote. If your property requires planning permission – for example, in a conservation area or where Tree Preservation Orders apply – we handle applications with Wiltshire Council on your behalf. We agree on a start date, project timeline, and select all materials before any work begins. See our pricing guide for typical cost ranges by service.
Our hard working team carries out all the work with minimal disruption to your daily life. We keep the site tidy throughout, manage waste removal, and maintain clear communication at every stage. On completion, you receive a full walkthrough, aftercare guidance for planting, and details of your guarantees. Landscaping trends in Wiltshire emphasize wildlife-friendly gardens, so we also advise on how to encourage biodiversity – from wildflower meadows that enhance biodiversity in Wiltshire to log piles and insect hotels. Ask about our garden maintenance plans to keep the results looking good year-round.
Our recent projects speak for themselves. From a complete garden transformation in Chippenham – where we replaced a waterlogged lawn with permeable paving, raised beds, and a gravel garden – to a large-scale planting scheme on the edge of Salisbury Plain using native hedgerows and wildflower meadows, we’ve delivered results that homeowners describe as amazing. Browse more examples on our gallery page.
Landscaping services in Wiltshire average £2,787 for a standard project, though in Salisbury, where contractor rates run approximately 5% above the UK average, mid-range projects typically cost around £9,713, with simpler gardens starting from £3,675 and complex schemes reaching £15,750. Whatever the budget, our attention to detail ensures every project is carried out to the highest standard. Full details are available on our pricing guide.
Local stone and reclaimed materials are favored for sustainable landscapes in Wiltshire, and we use them wherever possible – creating beautiful gardens that feel rooted in their surroundings rather than imposed upon them.
