Planting Landscape Design
While hard landscaping elements create the structure of your garden, it’s the plants and flowers that really bring it to life.
At Butler Landscapes, we make it our mission to craft beautiful gardens and outdoor spaces that bring lasting enjoyment, and planting landscape design plays a huge role in this. Established over 35 years ago by award-winning garden designer Paul Butler, our business is built on a passion for horticultural excellence.
With Paul still at the helm today, our skilled team will use their extensive expertise to transform your garden into a vibrant, colourful space that thrives throughout the seasons. We’ll take into account everything – from soil conditions and gradient to sunlight exposure and maintenance requirements – to ensure your planting landscaping is perfectly suited to the unique demands of your space.
Border Landscaping
If you want to create beautiful, natural barriers that control growth and help define and shape your garden, we also offer a professional border landscaping service. Our team will carefully select plants and shrubs that complement the overall look and feel of your outdoor space.
Whether you’re looking to give your garden a fresh new look or you need the help of an expert to transform a large estate, we’re on hand to support you. From concepts to completion, our team will take the time to listen closely to your preferences and thoughtfully design a landscape that meets your vision.
Having won several RHS Gold medals and achieved a number of ‘Best in Show’ titles, we have a proven track record for delivering award-winning gardens, so you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands.
If you’d like to know more about our planting and border landscape design services, get in touch with our experts today. We help domestic and commercial customers across Stafford, Chester and Shropshire, plus we can also travel further afield if needed.

Hillside Terrace
We were asked to create a more social space and maximise light in this North-facing garden. We achieved this by extending the lower terrace area into the existing lawn, constructing a cascading water feature and installing a fire pit area with strategic lighting.

Terraced Contemporary Garden
The client wanted a family-friendly garden with plenty of space for socialising. We installed a fire pit, water feature wall and an outdoor kitchen area, constructed an upper and lower terrace and shaped a large open lawn, complete with planting.

Centre Court
Our client wanted to completely transform their existing space by incorporating a tennis court, additional seating areas, flowerbeds and a neat lawn, all linked by winding gravel paths.

Country Retreat
The clients approached Butler Landscapes to create a complete country garden design that would improve usability, provide privacy, and transform the space into a garden for entertaining, relaxation, and year-round enjoyment.

Farmhouse Gardens
Our team was challenged to redesign this large domestic garden. We created a circular sunken garden, a parterre, a wildlife pond, a kitchen garden and a wildflower meadow, all connected by a series of pathways. The transformation was so impressive that it earned us a BALI Award.

The Well Garden, Wollerton Old Hall
In early 2024, Butler Landscapes were commissioned to construct the newly re-designed Well Garden at Wollerton Old Hall Garden, one of Britain’s most admired private gardens. The re-design was led by Lesley Jenkins in collaboration with Phil Smith (Pip Smith Designs). Their vision retained the garden’s iconic tall yew pyramids, linking visually to the Yew Walk, while introducing a fresh planting palette in shades of green, white, and blue. The re-designed Well Garden was officially opened on 19 April 2024, just before Easter, and was hailed by Financial Times garden writer Robin Lane Fox as a “masterpiece.”
