Every week, dozens of people across Wigan turn to Localists to find landscapers who actually know their stuff - not just some bloke with a van and a mower. And honestly, it’s pretty obvious why - when you get someone who does a bad job, it will leave you with more headaches after.
Next thing you know, you’re dealing with dodgy drainage, crumbling edges, and a space that’s worse than when you started. Certainly not what you want, right? Good! So here’s what you get when you use Localists:
Ask a landscaper for a price out of the blue and the honest answer will be… it depends! Landscaping is one of those jobs where you really can’t just slap a number on it. We’d suggest getting a few quotes - three is usually fine - so you can see what's fair.
To put it in perspective, a simple turfing job will obviously cost a lot less than a full garden makeover where you need raised beds, pathways installed, fencing and borders done etc. Also, make a big difference too, so the price can shoot up quickly depending on what you choose.
But here's a rough idea of averages based on our internal data of landscaping jobs:
General landscaping in Wigan:
£2,617
Turfing:
£948
Garden decking installation:
£2,055
Artificial grass installation:
£2,143
Bear in mind, these are averages from our own data. Your project could be higher or lower - the best way to know for sure is to get a proper quote. To get an accurate price, click here.
It’s a question we get asked every single week. And that’s because we find that a lot of people get really confused about who they actually need - landscaper vs gardener.
So in simple terms, a landscaper is more involved with works that totally transform your entire outdoor space. It’s usually those kinds of jobs where you definitely want “before” and “after” videos to show off creativity. We’re talking anything from laying a new patio or decking, to putting in fencing, retaining walls, borders, sorting drainage, garden clearance, turfing a fresh lawn - right through to designing a completely new garden from scratch.
Some landscapers focus more on the practical side - hard landscaping ( things like paving, structures, and groundwork), while others lean into the design side with more planting, layouts and overall look and feel. But most pros will do a bit of both to be honest.
On the flip side, gardeners are plant experts - think of them as the “caretakers” for your greenery. While a majority of landscapers are great with plants too, a gardener’s whole world it’s about the plants themselves (if you get what we mean). They do everything from mowing the lawn, weeding and trimming to hedge cutting and pruning. They’re the ones who can spot a weird fungus on your hedge, treat it and tell you exactly which plants can survive in specific soil types etc.
From quick fixes to total makeovers, here’s what Wigan landscapers are often booked for:

Yes, landscapers actually handle garden drainage in Wigan more than most people realise - especially with how it never seems to stop raining in Greater Manchester. They’re proper groundwork experts and sorting out drainage is a big part of the work they do. Just like drainage specialists, landscapers can install French drains, dig trenches, even in some cases set up soakaways so water actually has somewhere to go.
And if you’re doing any landscaping work, especially in lower-lying parts of town like Scholes or Poolstock, you want to be 100% sure your drainage is sorted. Because in areas like this, surface water hangs around longer after a heavy downpour and can almost turn your garden into a swamp (if care is not taken).
A designer plans the garden - layouts, plants, materials. A landscape gardener does the hands-on work. Some Wigan landscapers do both, which is handy for most projects.
Depends on the job. Turfing or a new patio? A day or two. Full redesigns with structures, planting, and groundwork? Could be one to three weeks. Weather and prep work also play a part.
Most standard work like turfing, patios, or decking doesn’t need permission. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas, or big structures. A good landscaper will flag anything that might need approval - but always check with Wigan Council if in doubt.
We needed work done on our back garden - it’s been in a sorry state for years. The landscaper from Localists came out, had a proper look, and gave some great ideas. Six weeks later, we’ve got a garden we use every weekend.

The front of the house needed sorting: cracked path, tired borders, the lot. Got four quotes, went with a local pro. Very pleased with the result.
Tracey H.
Wanted a low-maintenance garden after years of fighting with the lawn. New paving, raised planters, a couple of built-in seats. Done in a week and a half, tidy site every day.
Brian C.
Wasn’t sure what I wanted, just knew the garden wasn’t working. Local landscaper did an amazing job. Now it feels like it was designed for us, not a standard template.
