Shed & Pergola Installationin Preston & the North West
Need a shed or pergola putting up properly? We don’t supply the buildings, but we install them professionally on an hourly rate — bases, levels, fixings and a tidy finish.
Why customers choose Acorn
We offer professional installation for sheds, pergolas, play kits and more. installed safely and square. We provide skilled installation labour: preparing or building a suitable base where agreed, assembling and fixing the structure, and leaving the site clean. You purchase the product from your preferred supplier; we focus on the build quality that makes it last. For larger garden projects we can also coordinate installation alongside paving, decking or landscaping. We do not supply or retail sheds, pergolas or kit buildings — installation is charged on an hourly labour rate, with base materials quoted separately if needed.
- Clear policy: you supply the kit, we install it
- Hourly rate — transparent for smaller install jobs
- Bases and levels done properly so the structure lasts
- Can be booked alone or alongside other landscaping work

Common questions
Do you install composite decking and pergolas?
Yes. We install composite decking (and can replace tired timber decking with composite) and we install customer-supplied or specified pergolas, including bases and fixings.
Composite needs far less painting and staining than timber. If you already have a kit in mind, send the product link. We can install the whole structure or just the load-bearing bases if you want to assemble the kit yourself to save cost. Hours are then billed against the work actually done, which we estimate up front.
Why don’t you supply sheds and pergolas?
Most clients prefer to choose their own product and budget from retail or trade suppliers. We specialise in getting it installed correctly rather than stocking buildings.
Do you build the base as well?
Yes when needed. A solid, level base is essential. We’ll include base works in the estimate if the ground isn’t ready.
How is pricing worked out?
Installation is charged on an hourly labour rate based on the complexity of the kit and site access. Bases and extra materials are quoted separately so costs stay transparent.

Real 5★ Google reviews
“We recently contacted Acorn Landscape Gardening to purchase and build a pergola. Ian & Chris arrived who worked well together and did a great job.”
“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 have recently had a resin drive laid and also new fences, gate and a tree pruned, have to say the work done was excellent and to a very high standard. Will definitely recommend this company to everyone.”
