Welcome to Garden Plan landscape gardening.

Garden Plan is a specialist landscape gardening business, based in Hale Barns, near Altrincham in Cheshire. 2006 is my 36th year of operation as a landscape gardener, and with it comes a wealth of experience in landscape gardening.

My name is Peter Stubbs (have a look at my information page), and I started on my own as Garden Plan in 1970. Since then, the many landscape gardening projects that I have undertaken have ranged from landscaping part of a Welsh hillside at Betws Gwerfil Goch, to the 'postage stamp' sized patio at Ganders wine bar in Goose Green, Altrincham. The styles of my landscaping vary depending on the client and the setting of the garden. I work with natural stone, tanalised timber, gravels, mulches, and a wide repertoire of plants. My areas of operation are Cheshire and South Manchester, with a heartland of Hale, Bowdon, Altrincham, Lymm, Knutsford and Wilmslow. Please contact me via my Contact page, to arrange a consultation, or just for some general information.

On this website, you will find an extensive collection of photographs, demonstrating my wealth of landscape gardening experience. These photographs chart much of the work that I have undertaken over the years. I have divided the photographs into several representative landscape gardening projects and themes. The projects include:

• A suburban garden, with a mediterranean theme at the front and a traditional theme at the rear.
• A former farm with a one acre garden, developed as a country / cottage garden.
• A suburban garden with changing themes around the garden.
• A formal 2½ acre garden, with vistas and planting, mainly of trees and shrubs.

In the landscape gardening Themes section, I have subdivided the photographs into styles (Japanese, Italianate, Mediterranean), decking, planting, transforming, restoration, low-maintenance, island beds, paving, walling, and water features. I have also included an abstract feature that I designed and constructed in the 1970's - in this section I have presented my original design and projection together with photographs of the finished project. The important subject of drainage is treated separately, and several more photographs have been arranged into a gallery of my landscaping work and some interesting panoramas.
