OUR STORY

Crafting exceptional outdoor spaces in Preston & the North West.

Acorn Landscape Gardening is a family-owned company based in Walton-le-Dale. We specialise in high-quality, design-led garden landscaping, resin bound driveways and specialist garden drainage work.

Founded in 2019 by brothers Ian and David Wylie after years working as landscapers — Ian full time, 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 believe a great garden should be beautiful, practical and built to last. That's why we invest time in proper design, careful preparation and the best materials — whether we're creating a full family garden, installing a premium resin driveway, or solving persistent drainage problems. Alongside that craft, we care about modern methods in landscaping, business and technology — so the company stays efficient, transparent and well suited to how customers expect to work today.

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.

How we look after our customers

We aim for fast, dependable service with advice tailored to your garden and budget — plus clear visuals and plain-English terms so you know exactly what you are getting. Trustworthiness, reliability and constant improvement are what we stand for.

What sets us apart

  • Design first — We offer detailed 3D visualisations on full landscaping projects so there are no surprises.
  • Technical excellence — Especially important for drainage and resin work. We design for effective drainage and long-term performance.
  • Premium finishes — We use quality aggregates, paving and timber from suppliers we trust.
  • Clear communication — Realistic timelines, written specifications and regular updates.
  • Guarantees — We stand behind every project with written guarantees.

We are proud to be consistently rated 4.8 stars by our clients across Google and other platforms. Our work speaks for itself — but so do our customers.
