garden design and landscaping in Trowbridge

Gardens across Trowbridge

Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire, a former weaving town with a mix of period mills, terraces and a great deal of newer housing. We design and build gardens here across the range, from full garden design and build to patios, planting and outdoor living, turning ordinary gardens into spaces the family uses.

The ground around Trowbridge

Trowbridge sits on the upper greensand, a sandy, free-draining soil that warms quickly and rarely waterlogs but holds little moisture. Planting on this ground rewards proper soil preparation and mulching to hold water through a dry summer, and we build hard landscaping on a base that suits the lighter ground. We prepare and plant for the soil rather than fighting it.

Outdoor living, done properly

Much of the work here is transformation: making more of a garden that has the space but little done with it, with a good terrace, considered planting and the structures that make it usable through the warmer months. We design it as one scheme rather than adding pieces over the years.

Planning in Trowbridge

Most of Trowbridge is not designated land, so much garden work sits within permitted development, with the usual exceptions for listed buildings and conservation pockets. We tell you what applies to your property before we start, and point you to Wiltshire Council where a check is needed.
