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

We recently had a really bad experience with a landscaper who we paid a lot of money to and who left the project in a mess. Fortunately we had kept some of the fee back when we sacked him and then went out to find someone to put everything right. Enter RS Groundworks! I spoke to Rob and explained the situation and he came to look within a couple of days. He made a plan, fully explained it, and then told is his fees. We knew he had other work on and would fit us in when he could, but within a couple of weeks he came along and got on with the job. It's now all done and looking like we wanted it in the first place. Rob is very hard working, punctual, professional and experienced. His fees were fair. Our only regret was not getting Rob in the first place! (We actually tried)!! I would thoroughly recommend RS Groundworks.

Thankyou for an absolutely brilliant job, especially so with it being just before Christmas. After the last storms, my complete back garden fence had come down blocking the park snicket behind my house which a lot of people use this snicket as a short cut to park. Not only did Rob come highly recommended but him and his team worked hard and even managed to finish a day before the due finishing date, proper grafters. They were there first thing and worked through each day until just before dark. The finished job was exactly what I wanted, Thankyou again and Merry Christmas 🎄

We are really pleased with our new patio. Rob and his team did a great job from helping us with our design ideas through to completion of the job on time and accurate to the initial quote . He and his team were hard working, efficient and tidy. We also appreciated that he had old stone slabs to use for our job in keeping with the look of our house and existing stone path. He also laid us a base for our new green house at short notice . We would definitely recommend RS landscaping and are glad we chose this company .

We used RS Groundworks to redesign and landscape our back garden. This involved construction of a retaining wall, earthworks, patio relaying/extension and turf installation, amongst other things. We agreed a date for the work to take place and Rob turned up on time with all the equipment. We had some last minute changes to the design which Rob was happy to accommodate, he also gave us advise on how to make the best use of some of the spaces in our garden. We were really pleased with the quality and consistency throughout and the finished work was exactly what we wanted. We will definitely be using RS Groundworks again and can't recommend highly enough.

We could not be happier with the work that Richard and Ben have done for us. They have transformed our garden from a muddy bog to a beautiful family garden. The recommendations and advise Richard gave at quote stage were both honest and practical within our budget. The whole team was incredibly professional from Start to finish. Becky’s communication from the office was brilliant, just what you need to make sure the project goes as planned. I would not hesitate to recommend them to Friends, Family and colleagues in exactly the same way that they were recommended to us. It was that good I have booked them to come back and do a 2nd phase of work ASAP.

100% Recommend Kettlewell Groundworks!!! Attention to detail and hard work from Richard and Ben totally updated both our front and back gardens and also added a purpose built shed to fill wasted space at the side of our house. We are so pleased with the quality and choices made and are grateful for the advice given to us from Becky throughout the works. Now all we need is sunshine😂😂☀️☀️

We had recently had our house extended, the original flags were laid round the extension but we wanted the patio area extending, plus the existing lawn retaining, Richard suggested this was done with sleepers. Richard was easy to deal with and we are very pleased with the end result.

Richard has helped on a number of projects I’ve been involved in and his attention to detail is brilliant. Jobs have always been completed in time said and is very professional in all ways. Can’t recommend this company enough. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻😷🌈 Photos are of 20th Low Moor Scout Group When Richard helped tidy grounds up doing block paving and car park kerb stones.

Ben and his team created three great patios on my property. Andrew helped us create the design Cory and Dave are very experienced landscape builders and nothing was to much trouble. They created our vision to perfection. Great quality build, good value and most important professional and courteous. Highly recommend Ben and his team

Thanks so much to Ben and his wonderful team for my fabulous new decking - from Andrew who went through the initial design to Dave, Cory and Patryk who completed the installation. The workmanship is outstanding. Everyone was so helpful and the lads made a fantastic job of the entire project including dealing with a land drainage issue going back over 20 years to when the house was first built! A nicer, more professional bunch of people you couldn’t hope to meet. Highly recommended. Would go even further - don’t pick anyone else.

This is the second time we have used Ben and his boys as we were so pleased with their work previously. On time, professional, knowledgeable and just nice people! Did what they said, when they said and how they said. Very clean workers also which isn’t easy in their business. Can’t wait to start planting! Big thanks to the team.

Ben, Andrew and the 2 Matts were an absolute pleasure to work with. They provided a very friendly and welcoming service to someone with little to no knowledge of landscaping processes. Ours was a small but messy and unkempt garden and it has been transformed by the work Landscape Creations have done. Ben was really flexible offering suggestions of how to reduce the initial quote costs to bring it to within our budget. And Matt x 2 and Andrew were happy to be flexible and make minor adjustments as the project progressed. Really happy with how the garden now looks and the quality of the work will mean it continues to look great for years to come.

Nick came and cut our hedges, did a great job, cleaned up and took all the waste away. Good professional job done. Will be getting him back again end of summer to cut the hedges again.

First class service from Nick, had my hedges trimmed back and a general garden tidy up which is now the envy of my neighbours. Will definitely be using Nick for further garden jobs in the future

This is a super local garden services business. I have relied on them to do work on a property in my absence (I live overseas) and they do a super job for a great price and are reliable and pleasant to deal with. total thumbs up and 5 star!

excellent job, very efficient, very friendly, can recommend

Alison helped with giving us amazing ideas for our garden, along with giving her professional opinions and practical advice on the ideas we already had. We look forward to getting started on our garden with a much clearer vision of what we're doing

We used Take Root garden design’s “design in a day service” as our small garden required redesigning after a small extension had been built. Alison’s ideas were a perfect way to transform a large wall and some concrete bases we had struggled to integrate into the garden. Alison design included raised beds, integral seating patio and utility areas, with complementary planting ideas. The design is recently complete using a landscaping company recommended by Alison that I would also highly recommend. The garden is now another room in our home as it has been designed to be viewed from both downstairs rooms. This is the most pleasing aspect it definitely meets the saying of “bringing the outside in”. The colours of the bricks, paving and planting Alison design blends and complements our indoor room, very clever indeed, seeing is believing. If you want a garden which works for you and saves you costly mistakes I would highly recommend Take Root garden design. It is great value for money, with a design Alison produces which works, I would highly recommend this service.

I’ve just moved to a new house and am very keen to get stuck in with my garden, but was a bit overwhelmed with ideas and not sure what would be best for my space. I had a really useful 90 minute consultation with Alison and now have a much clearer idea of what I’m aiming for. She gave me great recommendations for plants, trees and materials that would work in the space with my limited budget. Thank you Alison!

Alison has done a great job for us. We moved in to a new home with a expanse of grass from fence to fence and being non-gardeners didn't have a clue what to do. On her first visit we gave Alison a long list of things we like or things we've seen in country gardens and expected she would use a couple of the suggestions, but no, she managed to incorporate every single one! Over the following 12 months Alison has been there to advise on layout, choosing and sourcing the plants and helping with the planting, with the end result being a spectacular garden. In fact, her imaginative layout is almost like having three different gardens depending on where you are sitting.

Elland Landscapes replaced a rotten decking , built a side gate to the house and returfed the rear garden. Did an excellent job, really pleased with it. Would recommend them to others.

We are really happy with the fence and gates that Elland Landscaping installed for us. Their communication was good. They turned up on time, did exactly what we’d agreed for the price we agreed. The quality of the work is fantastic, it looks great but is really sturdy. We’ll definitely be using them again for future projects.

Absolutely fantastic, the guys worked none stop and have lots of ideas when I was unsure on what I wanted. They were on time and their work is outstanding. I would never use another building company now these are my go too guys. Thank you so much. Xx

We recently hired Elland Landscape Services to carry out some fairly major landscaping work in our back garden and they have done an absolutely stunning job. Over the course of a fortnight they have transformed a sloped lawn and concrete slab path into a beautiful large patio bordered by wooden sleepers, and a gorgeous flat terrace lawn. The lads worked tirelessly and have completely transformed an unused garden into an outdoor space that we can't wait to use. Every member of the team was professional, polite, punctual and a real grafter. We'd have no reservations in wholeheartedly recommending Elland Landscape Services to anyone, and in fact, we're already saving up to have them back next year to work on the other garden. Absolutely fantastic service for a very competitive price. Thank you all so much! Photo from before, and a few of the completed work...what a transformation!

Pleasant chap who is reliable, even turns up in inclement weather, does a good job, would recommend.

Mark has recently completed a large project in our garden and has done a fantastic job. He was happy to come and quote, took the time to discuss options and was transparent about how busy he was this year and started when he said he would. Mark takes real pride in his work and is not afraid to graft in any weather and take the time needed to complete the job to a high standard. We had a mix of indian paving (4 size Slabs and Setts), edging, yorkstone wall planters, steps and a sleeper planter built, all done to a professional standard using quality materials There are many, many "landscaping" outfits out there (where quotes may vary wildly) but be in no doubt Mark has the contacts, experience and knowledge to complete work efficiently and to a high standard.

Absolutely amazing project and would not of been possible to bring our ideas and vision of our new space to life without the expertise, professionalism and guidance of Mark and his team at Bairstows Landscapes. He kept us updated with things all the way through and he dealt with our changes and questions respectfully and took on board what we wanted from day one. He was also able to give guidance and suggestions to really make our space amazing and work for us. Our pictures are on this page and absolutely demonstrates the high standard snd quality that marks strives to achieve in every aspect of his work. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark & Bairstows Landscapes. Check their facebook page for images from our Garden makeover/renovation ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent work from Bairstow Landscaping very happy with all the work they have done. All done to a high standard, very professional team and has given us good advice on how to get the best our garden. Good quality materials are used and very good value for money. Thank you Mark and your team

I would highly recommend Mark and his team! He came when he said he would to quote, sent the quote when he said he would! Started when he said he would! Mark’s work is to a high standard and you can tell he is passionate about his work and ensuring an exceptional finish! He talked through what we wanted, made suggestions, checked in with us throughout. Friendly guy with a strong work ethic and I would recommend him to anyone. Good trades people are hard to find these days….Mark is definitely one of the good guys! Thanks again! *****

The team recently completed the design and build of our new garden. We are delighted with the final result. From day one they have been friendly, helpful, flexible and very good value. The quality of the work is first class. We would be happy to recommend Mathew and his team for your landscaping projects.

Matt and his team have been maintaining my garden and smallholding for years now. They are 100% reliable and go out of their way to fit in any extra jobs I ask for. I’ve recommended them many times and they’ve never let me down! Thanks guys.

Excellent workmanship, communication, great work ethic by all members of the Four Seasons team . Luke, Liam and Adam have transformed our garden into a great social space with raised beds, integral seating, patio and utility areas. If you are looking for a Garden landscaping company this team definitely will provide you with quality at a competitive price. We would highly recommend.

We are delighted with the work carried out on our garden. It was a big job, turning a rather sad & neglected garden into a veritable oasis with a new patio, lawns, pathways, wildflower area, flower beds and planting. Matthew, Luke, Liam & Adam were professional, good natured and helpful throughout. As a relative novice to gardening on this scale I was very grateful for the advice and help that was readily available. I can't wait for Spring when we will really be able to see the results of their hard work.

Luke and his team regularly do my garden, he always does a great job to the highest standard and is professional and polite. I can highly recommend West County if you are looking for knowledgable horticulturalists who can give advice and guidance on maintaining your garden.

The team came and did a tidy at my garden and they did and amazing job. The team were well mannered and polite so I would highly recommend this company and service.

All of the team were very hard working, polite and efficient, would definitely recommend the team for future work. My garden has never looked so tidy. Thankyou for your services will be booking again.

I found West County Landscapes 7 years ago - I was thrilled - up to that point I had only found garden maintenance firms that let me down - regularly not turning up due to issues with weather or short staff - and often seeming to lack the level of professional expertise and knowledge I expected. I don’t know how West County Landscapes manage to do perfectly what other firms struggle to do - but they are brilliant. My initial arrangement was a fortnightly maintenance contract - they never missed a visit - whatever the weather - they were there - very impressive. Over the years I have been so glad I found them - their work ethic, their level of knowledge and expertise - and the standard of their work is consistent and really high. It is just wonderful to know my garden is in good hands and that I can completely rely on them. I cannot recommend them highly enough - I am a complete fan!
