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

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.

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.

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

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.

Absolutely superb service and workmanship. I needed a picket fence, quickly - they fitted it in to a busy schedule no problem. Lovely guys to have working in the back, happy, polite, informed me of their progress etc. So obliging to do a couple of other little jobs got me whilst they were here too. Nothing was too much trouble. The materials they recommended are really good quality and the fence was put up with some good common sense. I’m so pleased with it, and so happy knowing these guys are local and so helpful.

I am so delighted with my new back garden. I have waited years to be able to have this outdoor space off my kitchen. We got the planning through just as Covid hit , so we couldn’t do anything then and have had to wait until costs came down a bit on materials. I am absolutely thrilled with the work that Gabba and team did , they worked with me to make sure it was right and l was happy with the end result. This is going to give me years of joy whatever the weather l will be making the most of it.

Absolutely amazing experience. Had fabulous staircase fitted . Top quality craftsmanship. Responded immediately to dilemma re getting sofa in to the house. Appreciate the swift service provided. Thank you. Anna

Highly recommend this company, we have used them before for some work on our kitchen, which was carried out to an excellent standard and they have recently renovated our bathroom for us which just looks fabulous! We have more work booked in with them for the rest of the house. Professional, friendly and amazing work. 5 star service!

Rob and the team did an excellent job transforming our very tired and messy back garden. Clearing overgrown garden via difficult access in and out. New decking in composite materials, patio and fence cleaning, new planting. All completed within a week. Reliable, hard working, no issues too much. Thank you once again. We are very happy with the results. We now have a space we can use again.

Absolutely brilliant work! My driveway is stunning! Work ethic is first class! Would highly recommend to anyone! Big Thank You to all at Creative!!! Gary and Ange. Denby Dale

Highly recommended company. Every detail of my garden design, the personal service , the level of workmanship & perfect detail is outstanding! I honestly cannot fault the attention to detail & how beautiful my garden is. The pergola, quality curved patio & dry stone walling is beautiful! Thank you ✨🏡

Our garden was badly in need of a makeover. A sloping and uneven lawn, overgrown shrubs, ugly fencing, lack of privacy and impractical patio were some of issues we wanted to address. At our first meeting with Shaun and Callum they took time to really understand our issues and what we wanted to achieve. Unsurprisingly, the design they produced delivered almost exactly what we were looking for and we had no hesitation in engaging them to carry out the work. Sadly, Shaun passed away before the work started and apart from being very upset at his loss we were concerned about the impact this would have on the project. However, Callum calmly reassured us that he and Kieran (his assistant) would be able to complete the work. We decided to go ahead and in just over a month they removed overgrown shrubs, scraped the existing lawn, levelled the ground and laid a new lawn, built a block retaining wall and a raised border edged with sleepers. They also built steps and a sleeper wall and relaid a gravel path. They also moved shrubs around and planted the borders with new trees and shrubs to provide privacy and colour throughout the seasons. During the build we found them to be hardworking, reliable, collaborative, imaginative and personable. They also demostrated their flexibility by allowing our builder to lay our new patio before they had finished their part of the project. We are delighted with our new garden and highly recommend Callum and Kieran for similar garden projects.

From the moment I met Shaun it was obvious his passion was garden design. I explained what I would like from my mud pit, weed filled garden and Shaun got to work with a design. He totally took on board what I wanted and came back with a design that ticked all the boxes and the finished garden is a space that we can all enjoy now! The quality, workmanship and attention to detail from Shaun & Calum is outstanding, going over and above to make the space the best it could possibly be for us. Lovely guys and I would highly recommend 10/10 Thank you!

Shaun worked on a large garden project for us and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The project included a large dig-out, building new sleeper walls, installing decking, laying a porcelain tile patio, building new steps and a path, prepping and laying artificial grass, moving a garden shed, planting and much more. We had a blank canvas to start with and a strong idea of what we wanted to achieve. We were not only looking for a cost effective way to get the job done but also looking someone we could work through our ideas with to create a space that was sleek, modern and great for entertaining. We shopped around and got quotes from several landscapers. Shaun’s quote was the best value and his costs were transparent - he kindly itemised the costs for me as well so I knew it wasn’t just a figure pulled out of thin air like some garden quotes can be. Cost aside, what we really liked about Shaun after first meeting him was his upfront, honest and passionate approach to his work which you can see straight away. Shaun was fantastic to work with from day one. He kept us informed every step of the way and his daily updates meant we were always comfortable and reassured with each stage of the work. He understood our brief and was focused on making sure every detail was to our liking. Shaun clearly isn’t just a landscaper and has a real passion for gardens. His knowledge and experience in garden design and planting was especially helpful in helping us decide on a whole range of details during our project. You can tell that Shaun really believes in the importance of outdoor spaces and we had numerous conversations during the project about layout, storage, heating options, materials, lighting, planting, the list goes on! Shaun isn’t the type to rush through things so he can move onto the next job - His willingness and energy to push to make our space the best it could be was there right upto the final day of work. The finished garden is everything we hoped for and more. It’s a complete transformation of the space that has wowed and shocked our family and friends! It’s hard to explain or convey with photos the feel of the completed space. It has a balance and a continuity of materials, textures and themes that give it a real sense of atmosphere and mood - particularly at dusk. It’s a place that we always want to spend time in and feel very lucky to call our own. Thank you Shaun for all your hard work.

The lawn has never looked so good since Greensleeves started treating it. It's lush, green and weed fresh. I'm really impressed with the lawn and with the service from these people. Thank you Greensleeves.

Lawns looking better than ever, following treatment from Greensleeves. Reliable service and friendly advice. Many thanks.

Thanks James and Sean for the work this morning. Both very knowledgeable and gave me some excellent tips. I know after scarifying it looks a mess but know it will be back to a brilliant lawn pretty soon. Can't believe how much moss/thatch they removed! Thanks Greensleeves X

We are really pleased with the service that Greensleeves have provided maintaining our lawn over the past three years. The staff are friendly and are always able to assist with any queries. The results speak for themselves: left (before), right (after).

Krystian and Lucas did a marvellous job of my front garden. These guys are really good at what they do and go much further than the extra mile to provide good customer service. Hard working, punctual, professional and don’t mess you about like some trades people. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire these guys again. Thank you Multi-Task!! 👍🏻 June 2024 - Used these guys again who did an exceptional job of my boggy garden. Krys and Lukas provide good advice about what will work best and do not waste your time and money.

Great guys, would definitely recommend and will definitely be back for further works in the future. Krystian provided a few different quotes for potential options and was able to show me his work. After deciding what we want, Lucas came over to take a look at the job, and within the week, he has been able to get the work done. They were both happy to stay later than I expected to complete the job within one day! It wasn't the biggest job, which is probably why we got squeezed in so early, but I can't help but think another tradesman would have made this last over a couple of days. Great work! Thanks again.

The guys were brilliant! So speedy but also with real attention to detail and pride in getting it perfect for us. We are so happy with the transformation!!

I am so grateful to Lukas and the team for helping my parents bring their garden back to life. They came when they said they would (on time too) and the price was reasonable for all the work they did. I hope to have them do more work for us. I highly recommend them to anyone. :-)

Did an excellent job and left things nice and tidy. Also invoiced me for less than the quoted price as the job was easier than anticipated! 5 Stars+

First class service, prompt, very professional, courteous and most important a fair price, a job well done would highly recommend.

Quick and efficient at a fair price, with a great quality of service! Would deffinelty recommend.

I needed a tree felling and two other trees pruning/trimming. They arrived on time and completed all agreed upon work, cleaning up after themselves. The team was friendly and also provided the best quote compared to other tree surgeons in my area. I would recommend them to anyone needing a tree surgeon.

We asked Alison to help us re-design an area of our long established garden. She was meticulous in her measuring and note taking. A few weeks later we received her idea for our new patio/pergola. We were very excited to see what she had envisioned for us and we were not disappointed. Unfortunately due to ill health we have not been able to bring her vision to reality but hopefully sometime in the near future it will happen. Thank you Alison.

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.

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.
