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

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.

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.

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.

Just had a new lawn put down fantastic job done by Shaune and Frank would certainly recommend. The guys were very polite and friendly also very efficient.

Quick and efficient. Great job. Lawn looks amazing. Would defo recommend.

Very good quality good communicate and fast delivery thank u

Recently had a new lawn put down by Sean. We couldn't be happier, they did such an amazing job, very polite and efficient. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Excellent Job. I had a row of substantial overgrown conifers next to a train line and a large hedge to trim back. Ben gave me a speedy quote, came when he said he would and made a potentially tricky job look easy. The job was performed efficiently and for a great price. Everything was left immaculate after. Will happily Employ Ben and team again

Andy helped me with the design of my garden in the early stages to maximise the space available. He and his team were professional and extremely hard working which also included keeping the area clean and tidy at the end of each day. The transformation of my old back garden from what was weeds and an area that was unusable to what is now an amazing patio, raised sleeper beds and lawn with outdoor lighting. It is a garden that my neighbours have complimented us on and somewhere we love spending time in. Thanks again and I would highly recommend Andy and Lofthouse Garden Services.

I recently had landscaping work done by Lofthouse Garden Services, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Andy & the team delivered a perfect service, going above and beyond by recommending excellent improvements to what was a challenging design brief for my awkwardly shaped garden. Their expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality landscaping work!

Andy and his team have done a fabulous job. Quality workmanship and I was kept updated of progress all the way through.

Andrew and his men were extremely professional. They transformed my garden and made it more accessible for me. Andrew knew exactly what I wanted even though I was not 100% sure myself. I would recommend Lofthouse garden services to anyone and everyone. Thank you very much.

After years of trying other local gardening services its such a relief to finally find a reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable company. After an initial full visit on my garden to get it back under control I now have the team every 2 weeks to keep it looking its best. Family and friends now use west county landscapes also due to my recommendation. I can assure you they are just as happy with there services as I am. Many thanks to Andrew and the team for there continued help and service.

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.

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!

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.

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.

One of my fencing panels had blown completely off, so i contacted Hemingway fencing and they called out the next day gave me a great price as it was only a fix up job and completed the work later on that day. Work was carried out very attentively, neatly with no fuss. Was very happy from start to finish. Roy was very friendly, kind and respectful. Just seemed a genuine guy. I WOULD DEFINITLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE, and i will be using Hemingway fencing again in the future. ★★★★★🖒

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 !
