Allerton Landscaping Services

Here at Allerton Landscaping Services we like to let are own experience and quality of work speak for itself. With approximately 2000 projects completed since 1981 we have own history and reputation. Locally I believe our sign boards are quite well known (green 4ft x 4ft with white lettering) as they are regularly mentioned to me by various people in passing, My staff and I have worn are navy blue work shirts with the yellow Allerton name for over 20 years, My blue vehicles with the yellow www.allertonlandscapes.co.uk were also widely recognisable.

I started work in the Grosvenor garden centre, West Derby, when I was eighteen. At the age of twenty two I decided to start out on my own and quickly I found I had a talent for design. I went computerised in 1997 and immediately put my drawing board away and started using CAD for my designs, I introduced the 3D Models in 2008, these help massively in explaining to my customers what my design ideas will look like when built. With the 3D models I can walk you through any of my designs and see them from any angle, even the views through your windows

When I’m designing I like to design with the individual garden and the customer's needs in mind, I don't listen to any design ideas from my customers until I have completed my first design. I do have a chat with them and find out how they wish to use the garden and if there are any particular features required but I strongly point out that I don’t want to hear their design ideas at this stage as they it may influence my design if I have preconceived any ideas. I like to start with a truly blank canvass on which to work my design ideas. Once my first design is completed I then show the design to my customer and I then listen to their ideas. More often than not the customer is happy with what I have come up with and, bar a few tweaks here and there, my first design idea is generally the one that works. I generally design and build traditional gardens with traditional features rather than use pre-built or modular type products. I love working with natural materials and generally my designs lean towards a more traditional type of design.
