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

Adam has done an extremely great work on my front garden, transformed the layout and outlaid a new set which set it off well. Very happy indeed from the (Lyall Residence)

Really happy to recommend, built very fairly priced garden storage unit, cladding done very neatly and garden office and driveway, no issues , timely reply and good finish to work done. Can be busy so needed to book in advance but clear communication about this .

Adam did a great job taking down a garage, a bit of excavating, laying foundations for a new shed and building a retaining wall. Listened to what we'd asked for, helpful when there was an unexpected issue with a tree root, and punctual.

Very good standard of workmanship would recommend for any paving, blockwork or rendering.

I recently had a One Day garden consultation with Sarah to give me some inspiration and advice on what to do with our garden (we’ve recently moved into a new build house with a fairly large garden area that we wanted to make the best of with some lovely planting while also making it kid friendly for our toddler and find space for a shed!). Sarah spent the morning with me thoroughly going through ideas for types of plants, positioning of plants, garden layout and helped with lots of problem solving too (as the garden space we have has a fairly challenging layout). It was a really enjoyable morning and I liked the collaborative approach that Sarah took, exploring my preferences at every point. From the morning’s session, Sarah produced a wonderfully detailed garden proposal for us and specific instructions for planting. Sarah’s plant knowledge is really impressive, she knew exactly what was best for our soil and the Yorkshire climate. As someone with minimal gardening experience, I now feel like I have a route forwards to creating a beautiful garden whereas before I didn’t know where to begin!! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Thank you Sarah!

When we bought our house, we were didn’t know where to start with the overgrown garden. We wanted to maintain the established plants and borders but make it low maintenance and easy to stay on top of. Annabel and Sarah created a contemporary garden design, which incorporated everything we were looking for in a low maintenance design. It turned out exactly as we wanted and we couldn’t recommend them more!

I recently had the One Day Consultation with Sarah at North Leeds Garden Design. It was brilliant - a really useful morning spent going round our garden and talking through solutions to the various problem areas and Sarah sent through an incredibly detailed report after spending an afternoon back in the office. She came up with some great ideas for the garden and I've already implemented a couple of the simple ones. I don't normally do things like this but it was well worth the money - I now know where to spend money on the garden and what plants will work well in our soil, which will avoid wasting money in the future on unsuitable plants. I am also more confident about going forward with projects in the garden.

I have a small to medium sized garden on a slope, a long list of things I want to do in the space and a relatively small budget - a triple challenge! Sarah really listened and talked through all my ideas and came up with a brilliant design that incorporates lots of planting space for veg, herbs and flowers, a fruit garden, wildlife pond and seating area, whilst dealing with the slope and somehow making it seem bigger than before! It's a joy to be in and wows everyone who visits. Sarah was friendly, knowledgeable and professional and went the extra mile to help me. I have no hesitation in recommending North Leeds Garden Design.

After a season of neglect my garden was overgrown & desperately in need of attention. Ben replied promptly, they arrived at the arranged time as well. Job was carried out to a high standard. A job that would have taken me days, was completed in a few hours. Pruning, few feet of the hedge, a boundary of trees all cut back, weeding, edges reformed & tidying. All waste taken away. Now the garden looks amazing.

Fantastic experience using Ben and colleague for a very large hedge trimming. Work is exceptional, all waste was taken away and the site left tidy. Definitely recommend and will be using again for future works.

Ben and his team were very efficient at taming back our overgrown garden - good communication, competitive price, tidy clean up. Would highly recommend!

Our gardens were very overgrown with hedges, shrubs, fruit trees and conifers needing trimming/pruning. An excellent job was carried out and all cuttings were taken away leaving everywhere neat and tidy. All done quickly and at a good price. Would recommend and will be returning customers.

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!

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.

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

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.

As experienced gardeners, we wanted to have the fun of designing our new garden for ourselves. But the site was complex, with multiple levels on three sides of the house, and we knew we couldn’t manage it alone. Tracy was the perfect partner. She helped us split the garden into separate projects (to be tackled over three years) and showed us where to start for quick wins and maximum impact. She listened to our ideas, gave us tips on how draw up our plans and then advised us as we developed our ideas. The main concepts were ours, but Tracy helped us make key changes, altering angles and levels and showing us how things could be improved. As the garden was built, Tracy helped us articulate our needs for the landscapers and came to our rescue when we realised we’d not planned our levels properly. Most important of all, she gave us the confidence to see our designs through and helped us hold our nerve when we doubted ourselves. Our first projects are now complete, and we are starting to plan the next phase. We will definitely be working with Tracy again. She is incredibly generous with her knowledge and has helped us deliver a garden we could never have imagined possible

We have had the privilege of building gardens for Tracy around Yorkshire for around 10 years and bringing her ideas to life. I would say from our point of view as landscape professionals that Tracy is brilliant at what she does, her designs and planting schemes really will create something special in your garden.

Relationship: Client Project Date: May 2024 I looked online for a garden designer that I hoped could transform my quite small garden into a lovely tranquil space for me and my family to enjoy,after looking at several designers I came across Tracy and was instantly drawn to her work as it best suited the garden I was hoping for. I love the old cottage garden look so wanted plenty of herbaceous beds full of beautiful plants and love bringing as much wildlife into the garden as possible and what better than a nice natural looking pond, but with the limited space and need for a decent sized area for sitting and socialising I wondered how anyone could fulfil my needs. Tracy came to talk about what I required and to look at my garden and after gently persuading me to discard of my lawn and to put a more modern twist to the cottage garden that would be more suited to my house she left to do her thing,and left me slightly worried about what she would create. however when seeing the design she had created I was blown away with how she had beautifully fulfilled the brief and all my fears instantly disappeared and I could hardly wait for the work to begin. Tracy was always there when needed for advice and help during the construction process and her close relationship with the guys doing the work was priceless as she would talk to them about any concerns I had and keep a check on how things were going, The end result was stunning and after following Tracy’s planting scheme the garden was complete and when all the plants started to grow and fill the beds it just got better and better with her beautiful colour combinations and the different textures it was the finishing touch to a truly lovely garden. I would recommend Tracy to anyone who is wanting the garden of their dreams her skills and professionalism are second to none. Like 1 hour ago

After completing the renovation of the house, we knew that we wanted a garden space that gives us a sense of calm and peace, a sanctuary that connects well with the internal space and feels as an extension to the house. With the garden being overlooked, we also wanted the aspect from the house to feel more 'cocooned', connected but protected from overlooking. Tracy listened closely to our requests and came up with a garden design that echoed the style of the building and connected the garden and internal spaces perfectly. Tracy resolved the privacy issues through careful selection and positioning of new trees and shrubs. The planted beds define the seating areas, create interest and lead the eye through the garden. Tracy’s design showed us the value that a creative garden designer can provide. We get tremendous pleasure from the garden as does everyone who visit. Tracy's skilful, professional and creative approach has made it a pleasure to work with her. She is not only great at what she does, very helpful and supportive but also a nice person who is genuinely interested in creating beautiful spaces for her clients.

Wow my garden was like a forest before. The work green gardens have done to transform my garden is amazing! Very responsive, very polite and professional did everything I asked for. No problems at all and very clean with their work. All friendly too but the job is immaculate and would 100% recommend to anyone. So many companies let me down but these lot came out valued and assessed everything and gave such a fair price compared to others.

Green Garden helped out to clear a section of our property that was overgrown with weeds and creepers. They did a fantastic job!

Amazing job! Guys knows what to do, they are polite, and after all they cleaned everything! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience with Garden Revamps, laying artificial grass and building planters and decking. From getting our initial quote from Graham to agreeing on the works to be done, the team couldn’t have been more helpful. Once they started on the job they kept us well informed of their progress and got the job done to a great standard, love our new outdoor space. Would highly recommend!

Graham and his team were excellent. Friendly, hard-working and a great price. The lads turned up early every day and did a fantastic job. Turned our derelict garden into a gorgeous patio and level grass area within a couple of weeks, around 140sqm. Their ideas on how to solve tricky challenges with differing heights and awkward corners were well thought out and their attention to detail was outstanding, they really care about what they do. Thank you Barry and Adam for all your hard graft and thank you Graham for managing everything in the limited time that you had.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to Graham for taking my garden work on. From start to finish the lads have being awesome and I'm quite picky with tradesmen but have to say that Tom and Shaun have been brilliant and do work thier socks off and the finish product is awesome. I've had my front lawn taken up, cultivated and returfed and the back garden fence has been pulled down and a new one put up. The lads were punctual, reliable, friendly and very knowledgeable. Overall if I need anymore work doing then these are my go to indeed and will be recommending them to others

I can’t fault Graham and his team. They were putting in a long concrete path to give a flat access to our church hall. They were working by the Church and school and were really helpful to people by trying not to get in their way when dropping off children. Graham kept in touch every day to ensure we had everything we had asked for and the path is perfect and many parishioners have commented on the excellent work. I would definitely recommend Garden Revamps. Adding to this review as they have now finished the second section of work putting up a 6ft fence and two more gates covering a large area. Just as with the other job, arrived on time did the job professionally and worked hard to finish it for us. Looks great. Again would highly recommend and we will certainly use Garden Revamps again.

Just the best, enough said

Absolutely delighted with the transformation of our yard by Tom and​ his crew. ​Over the last two and half years of total renovating our house out of more than a dozen workers/trades we can only recommend 3 to others one being, with no hesitation, Black Fox. Quality of work, attention to detail, suggestions to us of things we had not thought of, sticking to timescales and quoted figures. Not the cheapest quote we had but ​we had professionalism, no agro, great quality, no issues - wish it had been like that for all of our renov.​

Thomas and the team are consummate professionals. They telephoned, emailed, arrived, worked and completed the job as arranged, to a high standard. I’m thrilled with the result, highly recommended.

I have been using Black Fox for gardening work for a few years now. Thomas runs a very professional business and has the expertise to look after a garden really well. This spring, he designed and put in a patio and water feature for me, which is just what I was hoping for. I would highly recommend them.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Thomas was efficient, timely, and very talented! We love our new fence.
