Landscape gardening services

Landscape gardening services from one team in Guiseley, from the first sketch to the final flag laid. Design, stone, planting, timber and water, across West Yorkshire.

Steve's hand-drawn plan for a garden in Garforth: a round lawn, a stone circle, a summerhouse and planting areas

Garden design

It starts on paper. This plan, drawn by hand at 1:75, became a round lawn, a stone circle and a summerhouse in Garforth.

Sandstone patio with a stone circle around a pergola post

Hard landscaping

Sandstone laid in a sunburst round the pergola post. It warms in the sun and glows when it rains.

An oval lawn edged in brick, with borders of foxgloves and shrubs

Soft landscaping

An oval of lawn with deep borders round it. Foxgloves in the first summer, and fuller each year after.

Timber decking with slatted screens, a table, chairs and pots

Timber work for gardens

Decking with slatted screens. Room for a table, a few pots and a long evening.

A wildlife pond edged with sandstone, beside a young fir tree

Garden water features

A wildlife pond edged in sandstone, with a young fir beside it. Somewhere to watch low sun on the water.

What each season is good for

Planting and a fresh start

The soil warms and new planting takes hold fast. Beds cleared and edges cut in now fill out by midsummer.

Patios and outdoor living

Long light evenings, and somewhere to sit in them. Patios, pergolas and decking, with room for the table, the chairs and the pots.

Hard landscaping and structures

A good time to build. The ground is still workable, and flags, walls and steps laid now have the winter to settle before the garden is used again.

Design and planning ahead

Frosty mornings are for planning. We walk the garden, sketch the idea and draw it up over the cold months, ready to dig when it thaws.

A few we've built

See all case studies
  • A random stone retaining wall with lights set into it, holding back the newly turfed lawn

    Ben Rhydding

    Ben Rhydding

    A back garden with a 2m slope from back to front, no use at all to young children. We terraced it with as few levels as we could manage, laid 280m2 of turf and paved the patios in Kandla grey. Four months, straight through a winter.

  • The levelled lawn with the new paved circle and a path running along the fence

    Cawthorne

    Cawthorne

    A garden left unusable by a large extension built for the owners' severely disabled daughter. We cleared it, levelled it and designed it around sound, smell and touch, with paths branching out from a centre point so every part of it can be reached.

  • The outdoor oven from the front: a Staffordshire blue brick opening set in chalk white render, with a polished concrete top alongside

    Holt Park

    Holt Park

    An outdoor oven for a garden in Holt Park, built with an integral flue system, polished concrete tops and the oven part in Staffordshire blue bricks, finished in chalk white Eco rend.

  • The Modak path, edged in tumbled setts, curving through the Kandla grey patio

    Horsforth

    Horsforth

    A garden well past its best, rebuilt with a good deal in it: a new fence in horizontal timbers, a large pergola, raised sleeper planters, a slate stone water feature and a Modak path edged in tumbled setts.

  • The circular sandstone patio at the centre of the garden, ringed with dark setts and edged by a timber sleeper bed

    Adel

    Adel

    A new-build in Adel with no usable garden at all. We built it in sections around a large circular patio in Premiastone Maple paving, ringed with dark setts, and curved timber sleeper beds left for the owners to plant up themselves.

  • The hot tub set under the slatted timber pergola on Kandla grey paving

    Apperley Bridge

    Apperley Bridge

    A garden drawn around a new hot tub. We built a shaded pergola over it, paved the patio in Kandla grey with a cut curved front edge, and ran a raised sleeper planter along the bottom of the garden.

  • The finished Maple-paved patio with lights set into the retaining wall behind it

    Bramhope

    Bramhope 2

    A new patio for a sloped back garden in Bramhope, with access so tight that every load of material went in and out by barrow, down the slope to the front of the house.

  • A mini digger cutting into the slope to make a level base for the gazebo

    Bramhope

    Bramhope

    A gazebo for a steep garden in Bramhope. A huge patio already sat on the lower level, so the gazebo needed a flat platform of its own. That meant taking 35 tons of earth out of the bank first.

From the people whose gardens these are
