Landscaping in Basingstoke

Landscaping for Basingstoke's gardens

Basingstoke is one of Hampshire's largest and fastest-growing towns, and the variety of its housing stock reflects decades of post-war expansion. From the older Victorian terraces of the town centre to the large modern executive estates of Chineham and Winklebury, there is a huge range of garden types and sizes to work with. The chalk-based soils of north Hampshire are well-suited to many popular garden plants, and the relatively dry climate of this area compared to the coast means irrigation planning can be a worthwhile addition to any landscaping project.

Basingstoke's many planned estates of the 1960s and 1970s include a large number of homes with open-plan front gardens and enclosed rear gardens, many of which are prime candidates for patio installation and lawn renovation. The newer executive housing to the south and east tends to feature larger gardens where full design projects are often commissioned.
