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

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.

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!

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.

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

Landscape Creations have just completed a large renovation project of our large rear garden. The work involved a total redesign which included the preparation and laying of approximately 375 square metres of turf, creating beds containing a mixture of trees, shrubs and a variety of plants. The work also involved the construction of paths and patio steps Ben and his team are very professional, delightful to work with and provide an excellent level of service. As well as the expertese provided by Ben. special thanks go to Cory, Dave and Pat who were meticulous in all aspects of the work As such we would highly recommend them for any similar work, regardless of the size of the project

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.

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, 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.

We are approaching our 70s now (it had to come sadly!) so we had a plan to improve access around our garden and to minimise future maintenance. This involved changing half of the garden but we wanted the changes to intergate with the remaining untouched part. James and his team sucessfully did this for us and we are absolutely delighted with the results. Throughout the process James, and indeed all members of his team, were approachable, listened to what we wanted, suggested improvements, delivered reliably and on time and were thoroughly professional. As with any job of this sort, there were a few bits of snagging to do but this was undertaken without fuss or delay. A few months on the garden is looking much improved and we can now see a couple of years down the line, when we've got our planting sorted, we'll have a superb, manageable and accessible back garden for our dotage! The attached pics show two viewing angles before and after. Hope they convey the improvements the team made. Thank you Groundworks Team. Worth every penny. Excellent!! Andrew & Maureen

James & John replaced my fence at very short notice. They arrived, gave me a super competitive quote and were back in under a week to complete the job. The finished result was excellent despite horrendous weather and James not being very well. I would have no hesitation in recommending James and his team and I will go nowhere else in the future. Although I’m sure my new fence is going nowhere for many years either!

I am highly delighted with the quality of the materials and the standard of the work by James and his team. The fence looks amazing and was completed within the agreed timescales and cost. James is approachable, diligent, polite, a pleasure to deal with. A true professional and a pleasure to deal with. The garden area was left immaculate after the work was completed. I highly recommend James for his professionalism and workmanship and will definitely use him again. Thank you James for your advice and making my home secure.

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.

Four Seasons carried out work to our Garden earlier this year including new stone walls, stairs, patio and pizza oven area. The job involved some excavation and they were very organised with skips and materials. Matthew, Luke & Liam did a superb job and we’re absolutely thrilled with the result. We liked to be involved with decisions and kept up to date as the job progressed and they patiently discussed ideas and came up with solutions with professionalism and humour. We’ve had work done by other companies previously that wasn’t done right leaving loose flags among other issues but Four Seasons have done the job right and we have no concerns whatsoever over the standard and finish of the work. They are also thoroughly nice people and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use their services 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.

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.

Steve was very quick to respond to my query for new turf. Came out and gave a great (competitive) price. Steve and his team arrived when they said they would and cracked on until the job was finished. Professional advice was given on how to maintain a new lawn. The results are great. Very please with Steve’s work and would recommend to anyone.

Steve came out and gave us a quote and then came back a couple of times to make sure we were happy with the final plan. Steve and his team were super helpful and professional throughout. We absolutely love the end result. Couldn't recommend highly enough

Stuart worked incredibly hard to transform my garden from plain old grass into a wonderful place where I love spending my time now. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Stuart and he was professional throughout the entire process, keeping me updated throughout with regular communication, and ensuring he left everything completely clean and tidy at the end of the job. This was all done at a great price and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wilkins Landscapes to anybody wanting their garden transforming into a beautiful and usable space.

Stuart originally did our next door neigbour's garden and we were very impressed with the work so asked him to look at our front garden. He provided guidance and recomnended the best options for extending the drive so that 2 cars can be parked on it. The end result is perfect with a sleeper border which we have yet to put plants in. We had made a start on the back garden and were looking at doing the fencing ourselves but asked Stuart to quote and were more than happy with the price and so he went ahead. We now have a completely different front garden and enclosed back garden which we are looking at what to put in. Thank you Stuart for a fantastic job, we love it ❤👏🤗

Stuart recently converted our very dull front garden into a fantastic outdoor space complete with porcelain tiles, cedar cladding, drystone feature wall and turfed area. We were so thrilled with his immaculate workmanship that we asked him to block pave our drive at the back along with a raised seating area made from our old Yorkshire stone path. Just to finish off, again a turf grassed area was also done. Stuart always goes above and beyond to ensure complete satisfaction every time. Thanks Stuart, you are the best!

Justin and his team have just completed my patio, wall and pergola. We are very happy with the finish. We had our patio stone laid on the diagonal so there was more cutting involved for the team but it’s exactly as we wanted it. The team were friendly and approachable for those last minute changes. They kept us up to date with what would happen next as we went through the project. They left the garden tidy at the end of each day. Highly recommend.

Justin and his company Paxman Landscapes offer a great garden landscaping service along with being genuine and upfront about costings and turnaround times.

Many thanks to Justin and his team for doing a truly awesome job on our new patio. Very easy to deal with, great advice and suggestions, everything left neat and tidy at the end of each day, and the quality of finish is absolutely spot on. We'd have no hesitation recommending J Paxman Landscapres Ltd to anyone thinking of upgrading their outdoor space. Thanks again Justin and team 👍👍

We recently had garden maintenance for my mother in laws garden. The garden had become overgrown; the borders and other areas were full of weeds and the bushes/plants/hedges were out of control. It was in need of a lot of love and attention. This is exactly what it received from Huddersfield Gardening Services. Cindy and Jacob worked their magic, putting in a phenomenal amount of effort (Jacob was on his hands and knees for what seemed like hours, pulling out all the weeds). Their efforts resulted in a completely weed free and attractive garden. Well done and many thanks.

Excellent gardening service. Built me a fantastic garden fence at a very reasonable price. They’ve also regularly looked after my Grans garden since she became to old to do it herself and she’s always been very satisfied with the work they’ve done. Highly recommended!

They did such a good job for my old girl (mum) at a reasonable price. I was worried about her being ripped off or them not turning up, like some other companies we've used in the past. I need not of worried as they were brilliant. Front/back garden, weeded, hedges trimmed, plants pruned, garden swept, they even swept the outside cellar steps for her. I will definitely be using again & would recommend to others.
