Ground, planning & access
What we know about Old Windsor.
Green Belt surrounds the built-up part of Old Windsor on every side, and the parish itself runs from the Thames across most of Windsor Great Park and up towards Virginia Water, taking in the Long Walk and the Copper Horse. Very little of the parish is the village.
That shapes what is worth designing. A patio or a drive is rarely the problem; a garden room, an outbuilding or a large new area of hardstanding is where the questions start. We work the whole of SL4 and spend the first part of an Old Windsor survey on two things — which side of the Green Belt boundary your plot sits, and how the ground drains once the river is high.
- Green Belt on every side
- The Green Belt wraps the settlement area of Old Windsor completely, which is why development here comes forward as infill on small sites inside the village envelope rather than as anything larger. It does not stop you relaying a terrace or rebuilding a boundary wall. It does bite on new structures, so we establish the designation with RBWM before a scheme is drawn rather than after a quote is accepted.
- A parish that includes the Great Park
- Old Windsor parish extends across much of Windsor Great Park, and the Park is Crown Estate land with its own habitat designations along parts of its edge. Where a garden meets it, the boundary is not solely yours to alter and a hedge or fence line there becomes a conversation before it becomes a job. We identify that ownership at survey instead of finding it halfway through a fencing run.
- River ground and Straight Road
- The village sits beside the Thames on ground that carries a high water table through the winter, so falls, outfalls and material choices are set for the wet half of the year rather than the dry one. Straight Road is the spine of the village and carries serious traffic, which matters when a grab lorry needs twenty minutes at your kerb. Deliveries and muck-away get booked away from peak flows, and we tranship to a smaller vehicle where a frontage will not take a full load.

Old Windsor FAQs
Asked in Old Windsor.
No — ordinary garden landscaping such as patios, paths, planting and fencing is not what Green Belt policy is aimed at. What it restricts is new building and larger changes to open land, so garden rooms, outbuildings and substantial new hardstanding are where the questions begin. Since Green Belt surrounds the village on every side, we check your address against the boundary at survey and tell you which category your project falls into.
The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, for both planning and highways. RBWM is a unitary authority, so unlike neighbouring Surrey there is no separate county council dealing with dropped kerbs, crossovers and skip permits — one authority covers the lot. We submit and manage those applications as part of the job rather than handing you the forms.
Yes, with the timing planned in advance. Straight Road carries heavy traffic through the middle of the village, so we book deliveries away from peak periods and use smaller vehicles for the final leg where a frontage cannot take a full load. The delivery plan is agreed at survey, not left to a driver to work out on the morning.
Yes, with the boundary treated carefully. Park land is Crown Estate ground rather than yours, and parts of its edge carry habitat designations, so a fence line or hedge along that boundary is not automatically something you can alter. We establish the ownership before design, and keep spoil, materials and machinery clear of the edge while the work runs.
Reviews
Customer reviews for Total Landscaping Services
In their words.
“Had TLS come out to do a decking job at our place in Bracknell. Communication was spot on from the first message right through to the job finishing — always kept us in the loop on timings. Turned up when they said they would, got the decking done to a great standard, and left the garden tidy afterwards. Fair price too. Would definitely use Total Landscaping Services again and recommend them to anyone in the Bracknell area.”
