Ground, planning & access
What we know about Wraysbury.
Wraysbury has a TW19 postcode and a Staines-upon-Thames postal address, and neither of them tells you who decides your planning application. The village is in Berkshire, in the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, so the paperwork goes to Windsor rather than to Spelthorne.
The other thing worth knowing is what is under it. This is old gravel country, and ground that has had its gravel taken out does not behave like ground that has not. We dig trial holes here as a matter of course before pricing groundworks, and the quote reflects what came out of the hole rather than what the postcode suggested.
- Berkshire village, Surrey postmark
- Wraysbury Parish Council sits within the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, and RBWM is a unitary authority — so planning, highways, dropped kerbs and skip permits all sit with one council. The Staines-upon-Thames post town on your envelope is a Royal Mail sorting convention and nothing more. It catches out contractors who submit to Spelthorne or to Surrey County Council and lose weeks finding out.
- Ground that has had gravel taken out of it
- Wraysbury and Hythe End sit among former gravel workings, and the lakes around the village are what those workings left behind. Worked and backfilled ground can be anything from clean gravel to imported fill of unknown quality, and it does not reliably match the plot next door. That is why we open the ground and look before quoting a sub-base depth, rather than pricing a standard build-up and revising it once the digger is on site.
- Thames one side, Colne Brook the other
- The village lies on the floodplain of both the River Thames and the Colne Brook, with the Colne Brook corridor recognised locally for its wildlife value. Gardens backing onto water look wonderful and drain badly, because groundwater sits high enough for months to make a soakaway pointless. Falls and outfalls here are designed for the wet half of the year, and planting is chosen for ground that will be saturated rather than merely damp.

Wraysbury FAQs
Asked in Wraysbury.
Wraysbury is in Berkshire, within the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, despite carrying a TW19 postcode and a Staines-upon-Thames postal address. The postal town is a Royal Mail sorting arrangement and has nothing to do with which council governs the village. It matters the moment any consent is involved.
The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, for both the planning side and the highways side. RBWM is a unitary authority, so unlike neighbouring parts of Surrey there is no separate county council handling dropped kerbs and skip permits. One authority, one set of forms. We submit and manage those applications as part of the job.
They can, which is why we dig trial holes before pricing rather than assuming a standard build-up. Worked ground may be clean gravel, or backfill of unknown make-up and compaction, and the two need very different treatment under a driveway or a wall. What we find determines the excavation depth and whether any of it is worth digging out and replacing.
Yes, and it is a common brief here given how many of the old workings are now water. The design effort goes into the edge and the drainage: a stable, properly restrained perimeter, falls that move water away from the house rather than towards the bank, and no reliance on a soakaway in ground where the water table is already close to the surface.
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.”
