Full Garden Landscapingin Preston & the North West
We redesign tired or unfinished gardens in Preston, Leyland, Penwortham, Walton-le-Dale, Chorley and nearby. Full builds include 3D designs, a written scope and a fixed price before we start.
Why customers choose Acorn
Full garden landscaping is our core service. We take tired, unused or badly planned gardens and plan them around how you use them day to day: seating, play, planting and access. Full builds start with 3D designs, so you can see the layout, levels and materials before we dig. The work can include patios, paths, walls and steps, planting, turf or artificial grass, drainage where it’s needed, lighting and garden structures. On a steep lawn we terrace with sleeper retaining walls, so you get usable levels instead of one bank. One local team handles it from design to handover. You get a written scope and a fixed price before we start, and written guarantees on workmanship. We keep the site tidy while we build, and the work suits full redesigns, new-build plots and multi-level gardens across Preston and Lancashire.

See your garden in 3D before we dig
On full garden landscaping jobs we draw your garden up as a 3D design before any ground is broken. You can see the layout, the levels, the materials and where the planting goes, and change your mind on screen rather than once the patio is down.
The design isn’t a sales picture. It sits alongside a written specification, and it’s what our own team builds from, so what you approve is what you get.
- Professional 3D visualisations are part of our full garden landscaping service, along with marked-up plans, so you can see what you’re approving.
- You can ask for changes until you’re happy. You approve the design, the written specification, the fixed price and the timescale before any work begins.
- Smaller standalone jobs, like a patio, a fence or a drainage fix, usually don’t need a 3D design. We quote those from photos and measurements.
Common questions
We have a new-build or have just had an extension — can you redesign the garden?
Yes. A large share of our enquiries are exactly this: new-build turf that needs a real garden, or a rear garden left unfinished after an extension or conservatory.
Typical scope includes a patio or path around the new build, levels and drainage (new-build lawns are often boggy), borders or raised planters, fencing, a shed or pergola base, and a usable lawn. We can design from a blank turf rectangle or work around what is already there.
Do you offer 3D garden designs?
Yes. Professional 3D visualisations are part of our full garden landscaping service, along with marked-up plans. You see the layout, materials and levels before anything is built, and the same drawings are what the team work from on site.
Smaller standalone jobs (a single drain, a short fence, a small paving patch) are usually quoted from photos and measurements rather than a full 3D pack.
How do I get started?
Request a free online estimate with photos and a brief description of the garden — turnaround is usually 1–2 business days. If it is a good fit we follow up with a site visit — some visits are charged depending on area and job size, which we confirm before booking. A 25% deposit secures the booking slot once you accept.
How long does a full garden redesign take in Preston?
Timelines depend on size, weather and materials, but many full redesigns run over several weeks on site after design approval.
What clients say
Real 5★ Google reviews
“We recently had our front garden done and back garden fully transformed by acorn and we couldn’t be happier. From start to finish the team were amazing. No ask/change to design was too big or too small.”
“I’m absolutely blown away with my new patio Acorn installed at the back of my garden. From start to finish, the company was a pleasure to deal with. They provided visual designs and happily made several adjustments.”
“Thank you Acorn for transforming our back garden. You’ve done a fantastic job. There used to be a rockery full of weeds, a tatty lawn and ugly uneven flags… Now we have a tidy slate gravel area, artificial grass and porcelain flags.”
