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

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.

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.

First used this company a few years ago to revamp garden after building work. Sarah provided an amazing plan making sure all the areas most viewed from indoors were exciting and colourful. We now have a beautiful cohesive garden. We have been pleased to welcome Sarah back to our garden to enhance further areas which she has done with much success. Because she listens so carefully and then actually tries to fit our brief so closely it has been a very painless experience. Would not have known where to start to get what we had in mind - but now we have it! We are currently liaising with Sarah over a few tweaks and additions and as usual she has some brilliant ideas. We really enjoy our garden now both viewed from inside the house as well as in this glorious leisure space. Very happy to reccomend this company.

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.

Ben and team were brilliant from start to finish. Ben gave a really competitive price and did a great job getting my 4 trees under control and tidied in time for spring. I couldn’t recommend Gardener in Leeds any more highly 🌳🌳🌳🌳

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.

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

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.

Mark and his team arrived promptly and did an excellent job in bringing our Indian stone patio back to life again. They stripped out all the old pointing and repointed, all done to an excellent standard, whilst cleaning up as they worked. Highly recommended!!

Very efficient reasonably priced. Quality of work is excellent Would definitely recommend

Dean arranged for hedges and trees to be cut back behind a commercial office block. This was done speedily and professionally. Would recommend and use again!

I can not praise Dean enough, he has recently helped me out clearing out a very overgrown area and would not accept any payment for it. The quality of the work that he provides is always first class. Over the years he has done numerous jobs for myself and my family, he is always prompt, polite and very knowledgeable about all aspects of his business. He will always stay until the job is complete and leaves your property immaculate. Nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!!

Dean has just fitted a new garden fence for me, second time we’ve used him because we moved. No messing, quality speaks for itself and it looks better than my neighbours fences. Highly recommended and I’ll use again!

Dean and his team came out to put me a new fence up. They were on time, professional, friendly and left my garden immaculate. Even finished the job before schedule. Had them back since to do my decking and put a summerhouse up. Thanks guys! Will definitely be recommending you to my friends and family should they need any work doing.

Recently had our second gardens done by Gagajoo. Our first gardens were much bigger than what we have now and needed a lot of work. Was extremely pleased with the result and they’re still looking great some 12 years later! We moved and once again our gardens needed some professional help! We had the front garden done first which was completely over grown but is now re flagged, turfed, tidy and presentable. Although quite small the back was a complete mess, we asked for planters and flagging gagajoo went through a number of different ideas with us to make the most of the limited space, couldn’t be happier. Recommended to family and friends, wouldn’t use anyone else! Thanks Gagajoo, great job 👍

Steve arrived on time to quote for the work. He worked with me on my vision for the garden and delivered a great design which his team put into practice. The team worked really well together, were polite, punctual and hardworking. The end result was exactly what I wanted and came in on budget. I highly recommend this company.

Steve’s team have just finished laying a patio and tidying up some sloping, rough, unusable land. They were on time, very professional, and cleared up when they had finished. I was happy with the price which was very competitive. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Really pleased with the end result, looks fantastic and price was reasonable. I was particularly happy about how quickly Wayne was able to come round to do a quote and how soon the job could be started. Dave, whom carried out the work, was friendly, did a good job and cleaned up afterwards. Would hire them again.

Roy was fantastic ! Our fence had blown down in the bad storms we had recently, I called Roy after researching fencers in Leeds and he came up as one of the the highest rated. Roy was very polite and helpful, you can tell that he is very experienced and gave me sound advise on how he is going to do the repairs and gave me a very reasonable quote. The work was completed timely and without any mess, Roy is very hardworking he was working in sub zero temperatures and into the night just so he can get the work completed for me, I would have no hesitation employing Roy again. Definitely the right man for the job !

Delighted with the work the team did with my gate. They came on time as promised and provided an excellent service for a reasonable fee after getting multiple quotes for the same job. Would highly recommend!

Mark always does a good job doing our lawn which we struggled to do ourselves because of the uneven soil below the turf, much appreciated!

We use Mark fortnightly for garden maintenance 10/10. Garden looks lovely every time. Thanks Mark!
