Landscaping Preston - Professional Garden Design & Transformation
Turn Your Preston Garden Into Something You Actually Want to Spend Time In
Landscaping Services Across Preston and the Ribble Valley
Preston has some of the most varied residential properties in Lancashire. From the characterful period homes around Avenham and Winckley Square – where established gardens often need careful redesigning rather than starting from scratch – to the newer estates in Cottam, Ingol, and Lea where gardens are handed over as little more than a rectangle of builder’s turf and a panel fence.
Whatever your starting point, CSG Plastics & Build brings the same attention to detail. We’re a family-run company based in nearby Chorley, and we’ve been designing and building outdoor spaces across the Preston area since 2010. Our founder, Carrick Grayken, still personally oversees every project, and our 175+ five-star reviews reflect the standard we hold ourselves to.
If you’ve been putting off your garden because you’re not sure where to start, that’s exactly what our free design consultations are for. We’ll visit your property, talk through what you actually need from your outdoor space, and put together a plan and quote with no obligation.

Our Preston Landscaping Services
Patios & Paving
A well-laid patio transforms how you use your garden. We work with Indian sandstone, porcelain, granite, and yorkstone -- selecting materials that complement your property's character. For Preston's period homes, natural stone often works beautifully alongside original brickwork. For newer properties, contemporary porcelain slabs create a clean, modern finish. Every patio we lay is built on properly prepared foundations with correct falls for drainage.
Driveways
Preston driveways take a battering -- between the school runs, the weather, and the general wear of daily life. We install block paving, resin-bound gravel, and natural stone driveways built to last. Whether you're looking to replace a tired tarmac drive in Fulwood or create a new parking area for a Penwortham property, we handle everything from groundwork to finishing.
Garden Design & Planning
This is where your project starts properly. We spend time understanding how you live -- do the kids need somewhere to play? Do you want space for entertaining? Is low maintenance a priority? We then design around your specific garden, accounting for sun position, existing features worth keeping, and the practical realities of the site. Preston gardens near the Ribble Valley often have lovely mature trees and hedging that deserve to be worked with, not ripped out.
Turfing & Planting
A new lawn makes an immediate difference. We supply and lay quality turf, prepare borders, and can work with you on planting schemes that provide year-round interest without demanding every weekend of your time. We know which plants thrive in this part of Lancashire and which ones will just sulk in the rain.
Fencing & Boundaries
From contemporary slatted screens to traditional closeboard fencing, we install boundaries that look good and do their job. For properties backing onto neighbours in areas like Ashton-on-Ribble and Broadgate, a well-designed boundary can make a compact garden feel significantly more private and usable.
Decking
Composite decking has changed the game for Lancashire gardens. Unlike traditional timber, it won't need annual sanding and staining -- and it handles our wet winters without rotting or going dangerously slippery. We install composite decking as part of wider garden schemes, creating raised seating areas, transitions between house and garden, or dedicated entertaining spaces.
