A Lancashire Market Town Ten Miles Up the A6
Chorley is in Lancashire, not Greater Manchester, and it is about ten miles north-west of Bolton town centre — further out than most of the places we work. The route is the A6 north through Adlington, or the M61 to junction 8.
The town runs across two postcode districts, PR6 and PR7, and the station sits on the branch off the West Coast Main Line.
We are a Bolton firm and would rather say so than imply a yard round the corner from you. In practice a Chorley job is planned around fewer, longer visits, so the site visit and the quote have to do more work up front.
Victorian Terraces and the Yards Behind Them
The older part of Chorley is terraced streets close in to the town centre, and the outdoor space that goes with them is usually a yard rather than a garden. Small, walled, often flagged or concreted over completely, and reached through the house or a shared entry.
Those spaces reward being treated as one designed thing rather than a list of odd jobs. Take the old surface up, sort out what the water does now that nothing soaks away, then decide the finish and the boundary together.
Paving, a small deck, artificial grass and raised beds against a wall all work in a yard; which one suits comes down to the light it gets.
Parking and the carry-in are the practical limits on a terraced street.
Everything goes in by barrow, and the kerbside is not always available to stand a skip on.
Estate Gardens on the Edge of Town
A great deal of newer estate building has gone up around the edges of Chorley, and those gardens arrive level, empty, fenced by the developer and turfed thinly over whatever the machines left behind. A few things are worth settling before anything is bought.
Thin turf over builder's ground
A new lawn that goes yellow in summer and squelches in winter is usually a soil problem, not a grass problem. The cure is under the turf.
The developer's patio is rarely the last word
A small slab area by the back door is common. Extending it properly means matching levels and falls, not just adding paving.
Whose fence is whose
New estates come with light panel fencing and a shared line with next door. Worth knowing which side you own before you replace anything.
Drains, covers and service runs
Inspection covers and shallow service runs cross a lot of estate plots. Finding them before the layout is drawn saves redrawing it.
Rules that come with the deeds
Some newer estates carry conditions on fence heights, front gardens or what can be built in the rear.

Landscaping Around Chorley
Adlington sits between Chorley and Bolton on the A6, with Euxton, Coppull and Charnock Richard around the town, and Standish over the border into the Wigan borough.
Our landscaping in Adlington page covers the first stop on that road, and garden renovations explains how an existing garden gets reworked rather than started again.
Chorley – Your Questions
You're based in Bolton. Do you really come out as far as Chorley?
Chorley is on our list of areas and it is roughly ten miles from Bolton, up the A6 or the M61 to junction 8.
We would rather be straight about the distance than pretend otherwise: it means fewer, longer visits and a bit more planning at the quote stage.
Does being in Lancashire rather than Greater Manchester change anything?
Not for the work itself.
Chorley sits in its own borough in Lancashire, outside Greater Manchester, but a patio, a fence or a lawn is built the same way either side of that line.
If anything about your job needs permission, that is a question for Chorley Council rather than for us.
Our house is on one of the newer estates outside town and the garden is bare. What can be done in one go?
Quite a lot, as long as the ground is dealt with first.
On an estate plot the sequence matters more than the wish list: levels and drainage, then the hard landscaping, then the lawn and planting.
It can all be done at once or phased over a couple of visits, which is often the sensible answer on a new house.
We have a small PR7 yard behind a terrace with no back access. Is it worth landscaping?
Usually, yes, because it is the only outside space the house has and a small area finished properly gets used every day.
The limits are practical rather than creative — everything comes in by barrow, and where the skip stands has to be worked out first.
That is settled on the visit, before any design is agreed.
