garden design and landscaping in Castle Combe

Sympathetic gardens in Castle Combe

Often called the prettiest village in England, Castle Combe is a near-untouched Cotswold village of weathered stone cottages and a market cross, and working here means working with real sensitivity. We design and build sympathetic, design-led gardens: matched-stone walling and terracing, considered planting and quiet outdoor living, all in keeping with the listed setting.

The ground, and the stone

Castle Combe sits on Cotswold limestone, thin, free-draining and alkaline, which suits drought-tolerant planting and good soil preparation. The local stone is everything to the look of the village, so matched stone in walls and terracing is what keeps a garden in character.

Built with listed-property care

The village is overwhelmingly listed and a conservation area, so matched materials, traditional detailing and a light hand are essential, and the planning and listed-building rules are strict. We tell you what applies to your property before any work, and point you to Wiltshire Council where consent is needed.
