Landscape Gardener Chester

Choosing a landscape gardener in Chester is mostly a matter of asking the right questions — and any company worth hiring should be happy to answer them. How deep will the sub-base be? Where will the water go? Who actually turns up on site? Is the quote itemised or a single mysterious number? This page is our attempt to answer those questions before you even ring us.

Who We Are — and Where We’re Based

Cheshire Landscape Gardener is run by Jason Costello, a landscaper with more than 30 years in the trade, based in Mere near Knutsford. Chester sits at the western edge of our working area — around 45 minutes from base — and we’re upfront about that: our completed showcase projects are concentrated around Knutsford and Wilmslow, where you can see them documented with before-and-after footage on our blog. For the right Chester project, the travel is no barrier, and the site visit and quote cost you nothing either way.

The Questions We Think You Should Ask Any Chester Landscaper

  • “What’s going under the paving?” The visible surface is a fraction of the job. We specify excavation depth, compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base and full-bed mortar laying in writing, because that’s what stops a patio sinking.
  • “How will you handle drainage?” Much of the ground around Chester — Handbridge, Hoole, Upton, the villages towards Tarvin — shares Cheshire’s heavy, water-retaining soils. If a quote doesn’t mention falls, gullies or soakaways, water hasn’t been thought about.
  • “Is the quote itemised?” Ours are: materials, groundworks, labour, waste removal, line by line, normally in writing within 48 hours of the visit.
  • “What happens if something fails?” Our work carries a full workmanship guarantee. Get the equivalent from anyone you hire, in writing.

What We Take On in Chester

Patios and terraces in porcelain and natural stone, garden walls and steps, turfing and lawn drainage, fencing, planting schemes and full garden redesigns. For period properties — and Chester has some of the finest Georgian and Victorian housing stock in the North West — we take material choice seriously, favouring stone and brick detailing that sits comfortably with older architecture rather than fighting it.

Costs, Openly Published

We’d rather you arrived at a quote knowing the realistic numbers. Our 2026 landscaping cost guide, porcelain patio cost guide and driveway cost guide set out what projects genuinely cost in Cheshire, and why clay ground conditions affect the price.
