Ground, planning & access
What we know about Wentworth.
The Wentworth Estate is private, and a covenant attached to its properties requires the Roads Committee’s approval before a tree is felled. That one clause shapes more garden projects here than any council policy does, because so many layouts on this estate depend on what happens to the planting first.
We work to it rather than around it. Tree approvals get identified and submitted before a design is finalised, deliveries are planned for private roads and verges the estate itself owns, and the crew arrives with the documentation the estate expects to see. Driveways, terracing, retaining walls and full garden schemes, run to the estate’s procedures instead of ours.
- The Roads Committee runs the estate
- The Wentworth Estate Roads Committee was constituted under the Wentworth Estate Act 1964. It oversees the private road network and enforces the title restrictions, covenants and design guidance attached to properties here, and residents and their contractors are expected to consult it before undertaking work. This is not a residents’ association that can be politely ignored — it has statutory footing, and work that starts without it can be stopped.
- Trees come first, not last
- A covenant on estate properties obliges an owner to obtain the Roads Committee’s approval before felling. Permission is not withheld arbitrarily: over-age, dying or dangerous trees, roots affecting buildings, thinning where light is significantly compromised, and groups of cypresses that have become overbearing are all recognised grounds. What it means in practice is that any layout depending on a tree coming out needs that approval in hand before the rest of the scheme is priced.
- Private roads, and whose verge that is
- The verges alongside the estate’s private roads are generally owned by the Roads Committee and maintained from its own budget, so a lorry parked on one, or a skip that sinks into one, becomes an estate matter as well as your problem. We board out before anything heavy crosses, book delivery windows, and keep muck-away vehicles off the grass. Planning applications themselves go to Runnymede Borough Council, which has adopted a design code for Virginia Water.

Wentworth FAQs
Asked in Wentworth.
Yes. A covenant attached to estate properties requires the Wentworth Estate Roads Committee’s approval before a tree is felled, and that is separate from anything the council requires. Approval is generally granted for good reason, including over-age, dying or dangerous trees, roots affecting buildings, and thinning where light is badly compromised. We identify what needs submitting before a design depends on the tree going.
Through the Roads Committee, which manages the private road network and expects residents and their contractors to consult it before works begin. In practice that means agreeing routes and delivery timings in advance and arriving with insurance documentation ready to be recorded. We plan that into the programme, because being turned back at the entrance costs a full day of a crew’s time.
The Wentworth Estate Roads Committee generally owns the verges adjoining the private roads and maintains them from its own budget. That makes damage from a parked lorry or a settled skip an estate issue rather than a neighbourly one. We board out verges before machinery or deliveries cross them and keep heavy vehicles on the carriageway.
Runnymede Borough Council, which covers Virginia Water and GU25 and has adopted a design code for the area. Estate covenants sit alongside council policy rather than replacing it, so a project can need both the council’s consent and the Roads Committee’s approval. We work out which of the two applies, or whether both do, at the survey.
Only with the estate’s agreement, because the roads and verges here are private property rather than public highway, so the usual county council skip permit route does not apply. We agree the position and duration with the Roads Committee first and protect the surface underneath. Where a skip is unwelcome we run the job wait-and-load instead, with the waste leaving the same day.
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.”
