When you hire Aaron, you get Aaron.
Worthington Landscape & Design is a sole-trader landscaping business based around Loughborough. Aaron has spent more than three decades building patios, sleeper walls, pergolas, garden rooms, ponds, raised beds and full garden transformations across the East Midlands.
The difference is the design stage. Before a single slab is laid or sleeper is cut, you see the proposed garden as a 3D render, with the layout, materials and structure agreed on screen first.
What Aaron builds
Practical garden design with proper groundwork.
Railway Sleeper Projects
Raised beds, retaining walls, borders, seating, steps and tiered gardens using the right sleeper grade for the job.
3D Garden Design
See the layout, levels, materials, planting and structures before work starts, then change decisions while they are still cheap to change.
Garden Structures
Pergolas, bespoke sheds, covered seating, garden rooms and timber details designed as part of the wider garden rather than dropped in afterwards.
Soft Landscaping & Planting
Turf, borders, planting, gravel, paths and finishing details that make the hard landscaping feel settled, usable and complete.
Garden Maintenance
One-off tidy-ups, ongoing maintenance and aftercare for gardens Aaron has built or improved.

About Aaron
35+ years in the trade, still hands-on.
Aaron started in landscaping as a teenager, working alongside experienced tradesmen in Leicestershire. He set up Worthington Landscape & Design as a sole trader to keep control of quality from quote to finish.
He is also a long-standing railway sleeper specialist and trusted partner of railwaysleepers.com, with experience across pine, oak and heavy-duty hardwood sleepers for raised beds, retaining walls and steps.
"Aaron transformed our back garden completely. He listened to exactly what we wanted, showed us the 3D design before starting, and the finished result was even better than we'd imagined."
