garden design and landscaping in Devizes

Considered gardens in Devizes

Devizes is one of Wiltshire's finest market towns, its Georgian Market Place, the Wadworth brewery and the famous flight of locks at Caen Hill all marking it out. We design and build design-led gardens here: full garden design and build, patios, planting and outdoor living, worked to suit the town and the ground.

The ground around Devizes

Devizes sits on the upper greensand and the chalk fringe below the downs. The greensand is sandy and free-draining, warming quickly and rarely waterlogging, but holding little moisture, so planting rewards good soil preparation and mulching. We prepare the ground for the soil it is and build hard landscaping on a base to suit, choosing planting that thrives on free-draining ground.

In keeping with the town

Devizes has an exceptional concentration of period buildings and a substantial conservation area, so on the older streets matched materials and restrained, well-detailed design are what belong. We work to a design-led standard whether the setting is a Georgian townhouse or a newer home on the edge.

Planning in Devizes

Devizes has a large conservation area and a great deal of listed stock, so in the centre the rules on materials and frontages tighten. We tell you what applies to your property before we start, and point you to Wiltshire Council where a check or application is needed. Guidance from experience, not a substitute for the council's decision.
