Lostock is on the western side of Bolton, strung out along Chorley New Road between Heaton and Horwich, with its own station on the line into Bolton and out towards Preston.
It is one of the town's more sought-after addresses — the golf course, large detached houses set well back from the road, and a lot of gardens that were planted decades ago and have been growing ever since.
That changes what the job actually is. Most Lostock gardens do not need making; they need reworking. A layout that stopped suiting the house two owners ago. A patio that has sunk at one corner. Hedges and planting that have quietly outgrown the space they were given.
The skill is as much in deciding what stays as in what goes in, and that is the conversation we would rather have standing in the garden than over the phone.
An established garden already has the thing money cannot buy quickly: height, structure and privacy. The job is to keep that and replace what has failed around it.
Mature trees, good hedges and sound walls are designed around, not cleared for convenience. Stripping a grown garden back to bare soil throws away the part that took longest to arrive.
Porcelain, Indian stone or block paving on proper foundations, with the falls set to take water away from the building. Replacing a sunken terrace usually means fixing what is under it, not relaying the slabs.
Closeboard or panel fencing, trellis toppers for height without a solid wall of timber, and decking placed where it is overlooked least.
Where years of shade and compaction have finished a lawn off, the choice is new turf with the ground put right underneath, or artificial grass on a permeable sub-base. We will tell you which one suits the spot.
On a road like Chorley New Road the frontage is the part of the property everyone actually looks at.
Paths, edging, paved seating areas and the approach to the front door all come under the same job, and they are worth planning at the same time as the back rather than two years later.
Complete redesigns and rebuilds for Lostock's larger executive gardens — layout changes, levelling, and new features designed around how the space is actually used.
High-quality patio areas that suit the more premium finish Lostock properties are known for — porcelain, Indian stone or block paving, built on proper foundations.
Raised and level decking for seating and entertaining, plus closeboard or panel fencing that suits Lostock's larger, more private plots.
Low-maintenance lawns for busy Lostock households — installed on a proper sub-base so it looks natural and drains properly through the year.
Whether you have a clear plan or just know you want a better garden, we'll guide you through the options and give honest advice on what will actually work — for your space, your budget and your Lostock home.

You're left with a fully transformed outdoor space.
Lostock runs east into Heaton and Markland Hill along Chorley New Road, west towards Horwich and the Middlebrook estate, and south past Chew Moor and Lostock Junction towards Westhoughton.
Smithills sits further north, above Heaton on the moor side. We cover all of it.
Over the Wigan boundary we also work in Haigh, up by the woodland park — our landscaping in Haigh page covers that side of the Douglas valley — and our landscaping service sets out how a full garden build runs from first drawing to finished space.
That is usually the brief around here. Established trees, hedges and sound walls are worth designing around; we replace the parts that have failed or stopped working and leave the structure alone.
Clearing a mature garden to bare ground throws away the thing that takes longest to get back.
Often, yes — patio and access as one phase, boundaries and lawn as the next.
Splitting a job does mean some of the setting up happens twice, so we go through what that means for the quote before you decide, rather than after.
They need planning. Materials are dropped as close as the access allows and the rest is barrowed in, and spoil goes out the same way.
If there are parking restrictions outside the house, a narrow drive or a gate that will not take a machine, tell us when you enquire so it is built into the plan rather than discovered on day one.
Frontages can absolutely be part of the job — paths, edging, paved seating and the approach to the door all fall within what we do.
