garden design and landscaping in Chippenham

Your local landscaper in Chippenham

Chippenham is home. We are based just outside the town, so it is where we work most and know the ground best, from the period stone of the old centre by the Yelde Hall and the River Avon to the newer estates around it. We design and build the full range here: complete garden design and build, ponds and water features, patios, walling, planting and outdoor living.

The ground around Chippenham

Chippenham sits on Oxford clay and cornbrash, and clay decides how a garden is built here. It holds water and moves as it wets and dries, so patios, driveways and walls that ignore it crack, sink and pool within a couple of winters. We dig to firm ground, build deeper, properly compacted sub-bases, use geotextile separation where it earns its place, and set the drainage and falls to carry water away. For planting, we open up and improve the clay and choose a palette that thrives in it rather than fights it.

Built for the long term

Because Chippenham is our home patch, the standard matters to us locally, by reputation and by the people we see around town. We build to last on the ground we know, and we are close by if anything is ever needed.

Planning in Chippenham

Most of Chippenham is not designated land, so much garden work sits within permitted development, but there are listed buildings and conservation pockets in the older parts of town where the rules tighten. We tell you what applies to your specific property before we start, and we point you to Wiltshire Council where a check or application is needed. This is guidance from experience, not a substitute for the council's own decision.
