Census 2021 table TS044 records 48.7 per cent of Melksham North households in semi detached houses, and our own total across the two Melksham census areas is 7,030 properties (Valuation Office stock table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025).
We build a page for every job, a page for every area and a quote tool that asks the size, the access and for two photographs. Our own total of the Valuation Office table across the two Melksham areas is 7,030 properties, 2,440 of them built between 1945 and 1972, stock at 31 March 2025. See it live before you pay a penny, live in 7 days.
Our own total of the Valuation Office stock table CTSOP4.1, stock at 31 March 2025, across the two Melksham census areas is 7,030 properties. 2,440 of them, 34.7 per cent, were built between 1945 and 1972, 2,080 between 1973 and 1999 and 1,010 from 2000 onwards. The published Wiltshire row is 233,060 properties, 22.4 per cent of them built from 2000 onwards.
Melksham North holds 1,410 of its 3,390 properties in the 1945 to 1972 band and 550 from 2000 onwards. Melksham South holds 1,390 of its 3,640 in the 1973 to 1999 band. Census 2021 table TS044 records 48.7 per cent semi detached with 25.4 per cent terraced in the north, and 36.5 per cent semi detached, 23.1 per cent detached and 13.9 per cent purpose built flats in the south.
Two areas and an edge. We would build a page for each, name Bowerhill as the place it is, and let your finished gardens carry what the tables cannot.
3,390 properties, 41.6 per cent built between 1945 and 1972 and 16.2 per cent from 2000 onwards (Valuation Office stock tables, 2025). Census 2021 TS044 records 48.7 per cent semi detached and 25.4 per cent terraced.

Bowerhill is the Melksham edge area and sits outside the two census areas used for the town figures above, so no housing figure on this page covers it.
Garden work named on the page as a place the firm works, Avro Way and Lancaster Road among the streets.
Melksham sits in Wiltshire Council's area, and Wiltshire is the local planning authority a tree notice goes to. Government guidance on gov.uk says works to trees in a conservation area require people to notify the local planning authority, using a section 211 notice, six weeks before carrying out certain work on such trees, unless an exception applies. The same guidance says the work may go ahead before the end of the six week period if the local planning authority gives consent.
Government guidance also says a tree preservation order prohibits cutting down, topping, lopping, uprooting, wilful damage and wilful destruction without the local planning authority's written consent. That is the rule we would quote on the page, with the link beside it.
On decking the Planning Portal says it may qualify as permitted development for eligible houses, subject to all the applicable limits and restrictions, among them height, coverage and position, with further restrictions where the land is designated or the building listed. The same page says those allowances do not apply to flats or maisonettes. On front gardens the Planning Portal says planning permission will be needed for a new or replacement driveway of more than five square metres laid in traditional, impermeable surfacing that does not provide for the water to run to a permeable area.
We would explain how you check the conservation boundary, any tree preservation order, any Article 4 direction and the proposed work before confirming whether permission or notice is needed.
The local field, 16 September 2026
We counted the Google Maps results for landscapers in Melksham on 16 September 2026. The sample was 40 listings and 27 of them carried an SN12 postcode. Seven of those 27 were merchants or unrelated businesses, among them a landscaping supply store, a sand and gravel supplier, a garden building supplier, a garden centre, a builders merchant, a solar company and a sports massage therapist, which leaves twenty in area trade listings: thirteen had a website and seven had none.
It is one search, counted once, on a dated day. What we would do with it is give Melksham North, Melksham South and Bowerhill a page each, with the gardens you have finished in them.

A Solihull driveways firm, so the trade is not yours and neither are the photographs. Open it for the frame: a page for every job, a page for every area, and a quote tool that asks the questions before you drive to Bowerhill.
What every landscaping site needs, whatever the town, is on our landscapers page.
Garden design Melksham and landscape gardeners Melksham each returned 10 searches a month on 16 September 2026. The other queried phrases carry no recorded monthly volume. Those are measurements of the phrases, not forecasts. We would build the design page for the measured one and keep the rest on the town page.
The pull on 16 September 2026 returned 40 listings, 27 of them with SN12 postcodes. Seven of those were merchants or unrelated businesses, leaving twenty trade listings, thirteen with a website and seven without. That is a count of the listings returned on the day, not of every firm working the town.
The decking page can carry the conditions. The Planning Portal says decking may qualify as permitted development for eligible houses subject to limits on height, coverage and position, adds restrictions for designated land and listed buildings, and says the allowances do not apply to flats. Your own finished decks sit under that.
