Landscapers in Chesham
Garden design and landscaping in Chesham, from a family-run team based in Hazlemere.
Your Local Landscaper in Chesham
We are landscapers in Chesham and HP5, from the town centre and Waterside to Newtown, Pond Park, Chessmount, Hilltop, Ley Hill, Chartridge and Botley.
Housing spread up the steep valley sides after the railway arrived in 1889. Newtown, built from 1888, has Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces, Pond Park dates from the 1930s, and Chessmount and Hilltop from the 1950s and 60s.
The town sits at the head of the Chess valley, with the High Street at about 100 metres and Newtown and Hilltop at over 160. That means sloping gardens, and on the hilltops the ground is clay-with-flints, which holds water. Levels, steps and drainage come first.
Much of the land around Chesham is in the Chilterns National Landscape, and the town’s older streets have long, narrow plots behind them. We design gardens that make the most of that shape.
Late Victorian terraces line Queens Road and the upper end of Waterside, where front gardens are small and back gardens long and narrow. Splitting a long garden into rooms, with a patio, a lawn and a seating area at the end, makes it feel bigger.

Landscaping Questions from Chesham
Which villages near Chesham do you cover?
As well as Chesham itself, we work in Newtown, Chessmount, Hilltop, Great Hivings, Pond Park, Botley, Lye Green, Waterside, Townsend and Asheridge Vale, and across the rest of the HP5 postcode area.
Do conservation areas in Chesham affect garden work?
The Old Town and Chesham Bois are separate conservation areas, where front gardens and boundaries need more care. Most back garden work is unaffected, and we check first.
What is the ground like for gardens in Chesham?
Chalk, with clay-with-flints on the hilltops at Chartridge, Newtown and Waterside. Gardens on the valley sides slope, and parts of Missenden Road and Red Lion Street lie in the River Chess flood zones.

We cover the whole garden: garden design and landscaping, driveways, patios and paths, decking, pergolas, garden rooms, fencing, lawns and astroturf, brickwork, garden lighting and outdoor kitchens. See all our services above.
