The Best Gardeners in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Highly recommend! Thomas, Sam and the team were a pleasure to have working at our home and they can turn their hand to absolutely anything! I feel rarely do you have your expectations exceeded and do people go above and beyond to ensure the job is done properly. The workmanship of Thomas and the team was exceptional in the walls they built for us, they also solved a complex drainage problem on the property, installed a treatment works to replace an old septic tank, landscaped a field and our garden and moved a very large drive. Everything was seamless, they were reliable, quick and just nice people to have around. Thomas has clearly built a good business based on sensible pricing and delivering on his promise, if only everyone could operate as he does!

First class service from beginning to end. Couldn’t have been more helpful. Tom & his team created an amazing transformation of our drive and front garden. Would absolutely recommend without hesitation. Thanks Tom.

Lee is fantastic, really responsive and reasonably priced. Really high quality work and always there for advice and ideas.

Lee & Co did an amazing job of clearing an old scruffy garage and unused, overgrown space at the end of our garden, and creating a beautiful pergola and seating /socialising area, with raised beds for growing, all fully fenced in (ours is the garden in the makeover video). It more than doubled our use of the garden and years later is still money well spent. Lee was fantastic at advising on the best materials available within our budget and where not to cut corners. He helped to bring our vision to life - was reliable, friendly and totally trustworthy, making brilliant progress, even when we weren’t in. His attention to detail, craftsmanship and the quality of work is amazing. Safe to say the work he did was life-changing for how we use our outdoor space and has brought us so much pleasure. Thank you Lee!!

Lee has renovated my kitchen which included painting, tiling, flooring and rectifying work completed by other trade persons. His work was amazing and carried out in a professional manner. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Trustworthy to the core and will go the extra mile to do an amazing job. Thanks LJT

The FirstLight team were great from start to finish. We wanted a patio doing after having some work done on the house - Neal was really helpful with ideas, designs and advising on ways to keep to budget. All of the team were extremely professional and friendly. Most importantly we’ve been really impressed with the quality of their work. It has been finished to a really high standard. They kept the site as tidy as possible. We were also away on holiday for some of the work and the team kept us updated with pictures and were always available to chat to if needed. Would highly recommend!

FirstLight Landscaping are a good company to work with when you're looking for a competent landscaping company that can project manage really well. We were looking to refresh the garden, as how we use the space is functionally different than the previous owners of our home. With FLL's designs (via Neal), we were able to discuss and alter them as often as we needed. When we eventually got to the work actually beginning (on Liam's side), their team were really flexible, and allowed us to add or change things in the design when we realised other needs for the space. Also, Ian and Rich, who worked on-site for the duration of the project, were lovely people who did great work, and knew a lot from their own experience, that helped inform when there were potentially better design choices. Overall, FLL are a trustworthy company, and I'd be happy to use their services again if the chance came up.

FirstlightLandscaping first built our raised decking 14 years ago so when it needed replacing we didn’t hestitate to contact them again. As before Liam, Neal & their team were so respectful & professional & did a fantastic job replacing our wooden decking for composite. There were a few hiccups with the delivery of materials from a third party but we were kept informed all the time. We are totally happy with the end result & would not hesitate to recommend FirstlightLandscaping Landscaping to anyone

We had James and Murphy in for two weeks (with Liam supervising) putting in some raised decking in the back garden. They were extremely considerate of us and our neighbours at all times, and kept us fully informed about the progress of the work, even when we didn't ask. Our garden has restricted access so some of the aspects of deliveries were complicated but this was handled seamlessly. Their quality of work is very good and they involved us when decisions needed to be made, giving advice but leaving it ultimately up to us. They left the space incredibly tidy when they left, and it looks like we have a completely new garden! They were one of the best contractor teams we've had working on the house.

Simon was professional from the first time meeting to quote. Highly recommend and the concrete pad he has done for my log cabin is spot on! Definitely would suggest using them!

Hired Longwood Landscaping to transform our blank uninspiring new build garden, including standard tiny basic patio using a plan I made out without really visualising the final result. Simon arrived on time to look at the plan and confirm the measurements noted and to give us a quote. He discussed the plan in more detail and gave some helpful advice on possible different materials to use which reduced the cost. He promptly quoted on the two options and after making our choice we took his advice. The quotes were very competitive with others we had received. From beginning to end the whole experience was relaxed with help and advice from Simon at every step of the way. Simon and his co-worker Guy did an absolutely brilliant job, and stuck to the plan religiously, and the finished result is better than we could have imagined. They managed to keep the site clean, always mindful we have a shared drive with our neighbour, despite some horrendous weather and finished the job in no time at all. The guys were courteous and professional from start to finish, and nothing was too much trouble for the guys, even helping a neighbour with some of the old slabs out of the skip. Probably why a number of the neighbours asked Simon for quotes for work on their gardens, including one of the builders. All in all would highly recommend Simon and Guy for any other project be it large or small. Many thanks to you both for your hard work and giving us a garden we can now really enjoy, that is when we get all our plants back from our Daughters.

Simon and Guy took a large tree down for us they are very efficient and cleaned up so well. Thank you great job.

Our first time ordering fire wood from here; very reasonably priced, quick and efficient service. Logs are very dry and burn well. Thank you Simon, we will see you again once we’ve run out!

It was a pleasure to work with James. He designed our amazing garden, created the planting plan, procured the plants and completed the planting. James has demonstrated significant expertise in all of these processes. He was always communicative and determined to deliver what I wanted as the client. We have already had many enjoyable evenings in our new garden and had incredible feedback. Thank you.

MP Landscape & Garden Design did a great Garden make over for us which we were very pleased with. We have had many years enjoying our outdoor living space. Michael and the team listen to your requirements and come up with excellent designs. Doing the project was again faultless and timely. We have engaged the company again to do another project now 10 years down the line. Again Michael has been excellent and knowledgeable in suggesting ideas that will work for us. Looking forward to our new outdoor living space and kitchen. Highly recommend this company.

Absolutely delighted with the garden shelter which Micheal designed and had built for us earlier this year. Very pleased he was able to add this so seamlessly to his original design which he created for us in 2016. We love sitting in the space surrounded by flowers, entertaining friends there and enjoying the peace of the evening. It has enhanced the view of the garden from the house too, enticing us outside to enjoy the space.

Our back garden was in desperate need of a makeover. It was tired looking and shabby. I decided it was time for a change and stumbled across Mick and I’m extremely glad I did. The entire process from design to completion has been excellent. To begin with, Mick provided us with several designs. The final design was an amalgamation of our favourite features from each design. He project managed the whole thing and was on site every day overseeing everything. This was so important as it meant we could go about our days without worry. Mick only works with the finest workmen to bring his designs to life and we are completely in love with our garden. Where we rarely ventured out into it before, we haven’t been out of it since it was finished. Mick has also recommended an electrician to install lighting and a gardener to add some planting. We cannot recommend him highly enough and I suggest you contact him as quickly as possible to utilise his talents.

Mick has been a pleasure to work with throughout the process. We came to him following a recommendation from a friend, to ask if he could help us come up with an overall design for our large back garden that we would be able to complete in sections as time and budget allowed. The design Mick has produced has completely exceeded our expectations and I can’t wait to get started! He has incorporated ideas we’d never have thought of and it’s great to have an overall scheme to work to that will ensure the garden has a cohesive theme. Mick has been a pleasure to work with and I’m sure we will keep in touch as our garden develops over time.

My front and back gardens and driveway have just been completely landscaped by Dave and at DW Gardens. This project was extensive and took approx 4 weeks to complete. The work that Dave has carried out has been 1st class done in a timely manner, his workmanship integrity and honesty are hard to find these days. I have no hesitation in recommending Dave, my Gardens and driveway are now amazing and worth every penny. Thankyou for all your hard work Angelia Walker

Had Dave do my patio new steps and tidied up my drive well pleased with all the works nothing was too much trouble we kept adding jobs on and it wasn’t an issue just fitted us in when he could all jobs completed will definitely be using him in the future

Very helpful, professional, and tidy. Dave advised a split level for our long sloping, overgrown, and bumpy lawn, provided estimates based on some concerns we had, and completed the work on time. He has transformed our garden from an untidy state to a very neat, usable, and level garden. Dave also tidied up as he went, keeping the patio and driveway clear, and cleaned it up after he wash finished. After the lawn had settled down he came and put the grass seed down. Highly recommend Dave, and we will be contacting him again when we need more help. He always advised of issues and provided us options to choose from.

Had my old lawn taken up and new one laid by Dave. Did a fantastic job despite the bad weather. A lovely, friendly man, would highly recommend. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Definitely worth my 5 star rating 💯

Austin's Gardens were excellent when it came to designing, landscaping and planting my garden. Richard really listened to what I wanted, came up with imaginative ideas that fit my budget, and then delivered on time with work that was neat and professional throughout. He worked with other constructors (conservatory and driveway), and was flexible and an excellent communicator. Unreservedly recommend him and his team!

We were absolutely delighted with the superb job Richard Austin did in designing our beautiful new garden. He closely consulted with us throughout the process, listening carefully to all of our specific requirements - whether with regards to plants and features, or budget and timescales - and offered thoughtful guidance and expertise. Once the final designs were produced - during which time Richard regularly consulted with us and took in our feedback - Richard successfully project managed the hard landscaping which (due to geographical constraints) was outsourced to another firm. He himself then did a very fast, effective and highly professional job of the planting, sourcing the plants at the best quality and price. We have been delighted by the results, the garden never ceases to draw admiring comments from visitors and is getting progressively better as the years go by. Thank you for doing such an outstanding job for us and we would have no hesitation in recommending Richard to others.

Richard, Lottie and Andrew were incredible at taking on our garden full of stone, brick and artificial grass and clearing it all to create the beginnings of a beautiful garden. They came at a really difficult personal time, and their kindness, patience and absolute competence allowed the work to continue without stress. It was wonderful to know that we could completely trust their advice and helped us make decisions as the project went on. They also went above and beyond to clean up the masses of mud created through such a big clearance job. Just a massive thank you to Richard and the team :)

What a marvellous experience from start to finish it was, working with Richard and his team to revamp my formal front garden! Richard is patient and exceedingly knowledgeable and kept me fully informed and engaged every step of the way, from concept to completion. It was a pleasure to have Richard and Lottie working here. They kept an immaculate site and were a positive pleasure to have around. Highly recommended and great bang for my buck, too!
