Garden design & build · Cheshire & the North West
Gardens designed to grow.
Award-winning garden design and build across Cheshire and the North West. One team from first sketch to final planting.
Every garden starts with a design, a horticulturist's eye and one team who sees it through.
Green Acorn was founded by Greg Jacob, a horticulturist who grew up in rural Ireland. We survey, design in 3D, build and plant your garden ourselves, so the garden you approve on screen is the garden you get.
Meet Greg and the teamDesigned first
Every project begins with a site survey and a 3D design you can walk through before a spade goes in.
Built to last
BALI-accredited craftsmanship and materials chosen to weather North West winters for decades.
Planted to grow
Planting plans by a trained horticulturist, so your garden looks better in year five than on day one.

From rural Ireland to North West gardens
Greg Jacob grew up outdoors in rural Ireland and went on to study horticulture. After working with established landscapers and being recognised by the Garden Design Academy of Ireland, he moved to the UK and founded Green Acorn to offer a more personal, design-led service.
Today he leads a team of designers and landscapers across the North West.
