garden design and landscaping in Sherston

Considered gardens in Sherston

Sherston is a handsome Cotswold village, its wide High Street and the old Rattlebone Inn marking it out as one of the more affluent limestone villages on the Wiltshire side. We design and build design-led gardens here: full garden design and build, stone walling and terracing, natural ponds, planting and outdoor living, worked to suit the village character.

The ground around Sherston

Sherston sits on Cotswold limestone, thin, free-draining and alkaline, which suits drought-tolerant, characterful planting and proper soil preparation. The limestone is also the local stone, so walling and terracing matched to it are central to keeping a garden in keeping. Stone walling, new and repaired, is some of the most fitting work in a village like this.

In keeping with the village

The properties are period stone within a conservation village, so matched stone and restrained, well-detailed design are what belong. We work in local stone and quality materials to a design-led standard, so new work sits with the old.

Planning in Sherston

Sherston sits within a conservation area with listed stock, so the rules on materials, walls 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.
