Family-run landscaping from Walton-le-Dale.

Acorn Landscape Gardening is a family-run team of eight based in Walton-le-Dale. We do garden landscaping, resin driveways and garden drainage, covering Preston, Leyland, Penwortham, Chorley and nearby.

Founded in 2019 by brothers Ian and David Wylie after years working as landscapers, Ian full time and David part time. Their skills lined up well, and they shared a simple conviction: they could deliver a better standard of work than much of what they had seen in the trade. That belief still drives everything we do.

We spend time on design and groundwork first. Full gardens get 3D designs before we dig.We’re a GCL PermaBound approved installer. Drainage is planned for Lancashire clay and wet winters. We also keep improving how the business runs, so quoting, booking and updates stay simple for you.

The people behind the work

Today we are a team of eight. Ian leads the landscaping on site. He brings engineering qualifications and extensive experience in landscaping and general building. David runs the office side (systems, business improvements and day-to-day management), drawing on a military background, time running another small business, and an MSc in International Business.

That split means customers get both strong craftsmanship and clear organisation: reliable scheduling, straightforward communication, and a business that keeps refining how it works.
