FAQ
Landscaping FAQs — Macclesfield
Common questions from Macclesfield homeowners about landscaping and garden design.
Yes — we provide a design and build service. Dave will visit your garden, discuss your ideas and requirements, and advise on the best approach for your space, soil conditions, drainage, and budget. We do not just lay what you ask for — we help you plan a garden that will work well and last.
Yes — drainage is a common issue in Cheshire gardens and something we deal with regularly. We install French drains, soakaways, and channel drainage systems to resolve waterlogging and surface water problems. Good drainage is also essential beneath any patio or paved area to ensure longevity.
Yes — we build retaining walls in block, brick, and natural stone. Retaining walls are used to manage changes in ground level, prevent soil movement, and create terraced garden areas. We ensure all retaining walls are built with appropriate foundations and drainage to perform correctly over time.
We lay natural stone (sandstone, limestone, slate), porcelain, concrete block paving, and resin-bound surfaces. We advise on the most suitable material for your garden, budget, and intended use. All paving is laid on a proper sub-base to ensure it remains level and stable.
A straightforward patio installation typically takes 3–5 days. A complete garden transformation involving drainage, walling, paving, decking, turfing, and planting can take 2–4 weeks depending on the size and complexity. We provide a realistic programme before we start.
Yes — turfing and planting are included as part of our complete garden transformation service. We prepare the ground correctly, lay quality turf, and plant borders to your specification. Turfing and planting are always completed after all hard landscaping is in place.
