The Best Gardeners in Sowerby Bridge, 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.

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.

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 🎄

Amazing job by Rob at our place over the last 3 weeks. He and Ash worked tirelessly on our patio and driveway and have completely transformed our outdoor space. Rob was great from the minute we spoke to him - he had some cracking ideas which was great as we weren’t really sure what we wanted. Some contractors want to know exact details of what work needs doing right from the start but Rob worked flexibly with us throughout to take into account our changing priorities. Can’t speak highly enough of Rob - he has a mantra of seeing a job through to the end which was great as we weren’t really sure what “the end” should look like. We’ll be using RS Groundworks again in the future without a doubt - quality job and very reasonably priced. Thanks again Stuart

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.

Used Elland Landscapes for remodelling my back garden. Very professional. Quoted and explained that during work additional costs may be incurred if ground is not stable. I was kept informed throughout. If there were any issues they would not cut corners they would stop and discuss options. They built a garden room 5x3 meters from a flat pack. Their attention to detail was second to none. My horrible back garden is now a beautiful space. Thanks to Chris, Jon, Lee and Dylan for a great job.

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 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.

I can’t believe the transformation that Jack created in what was once just a concrete yard. There wasn’t even a garden to start with! Jack took a completely lifeless, paved space and turned it into the most beautiful wild garden I’ve ever seen. His creativity and vision are unmatched. Jack didn’t just add plants - he designed a space that brings so much joy and life to the world. He truly listened to my ideas and then took them to the next level, bringing out the absolute best in the space. Thank you, Jack!

Jack helped me with selecting plants and shrubs for our south-facing balcony. He was knowledgeable as to what would be suitable for the conditions and need minimal maintenance. Jack accompanied me to the garden centre then potted and arranged the plants on the balcony. The mix of different colours and vegetation really worked. Overall I was very pleased with his work. He works diligently and with enthusiasm and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Jack’s ideas, enthusiasm, plant knowledge and attention to detail have allowed us to easily create the (Small) garden of our dreams from scratch. He’s been a joy to work with through what’s been a lengthy process from ideation to planting as he’s kept us engaged in every step of the way- from design, planning and dealing with suppliers. A safe pair of hands in gardening gloves!

We really enjoyed working with Jack on the full re-design of our garden in London. Jack has incredible plant knowledge and a great eye for design and detail. We loved his naturalistic approach to garden design and his interest in sustainability. Jack understood our requirements straight away and was very communicative and responsive. He is honest and lovely to deal with. We cannot wait to see our new garden establish and develop over the years. We would definitely use Jack again and can’t recommend enough.

Thank you ever so much, my garden now looks amazing, I never thought i would ever be able to sit out again. Many many thanks for all the hard work from you and you wonderful team of gardeners

Nice guy,came down ,gave us a quote,did the job...alittle bit expensive for wat we needed doing but saved me the backache. All good.

Would recommend very reliable and friendly

We called Darren up for a quote , he popped down straight away as he was nearby. We wanted some privet cutting and some bushes. We are selling our house so needed garden tidying up.He was able to do the job immediately which was lucky for us.He did a brilliant job. Tidied up the garden for us. Did some weeding too . It was absolutely red hot but he never stopped. Nice guy . Brilliant job will use again.

Excellent service

I contacted Mark's Garden Services to prune back some Leylandii trees which had gone wild. Mark and his Team arrived early one morning, no messing about, they were right in there to tackle the job. All the time they were professional, kept tidying up as they went along and left the area looking very neat, tidy and above all a nice clean cut hedge. I have no hesitation in recommending this Company for your Gardening needs.

We highly recommend Mark and Jackie's work. They gave an accurate cost estimate, communicated well when delivery problems occurred and worked through freezing weather to get the job done on schedule. We are delighted with our green roof.

Mark and his team have looked after our garden for a few years now. Mark is reliable, hardworking, knowledgeable and trustworthy. No job is too big or too small. He keeps our leylandii in check and has improved our front lawn no end. He also looks after my father-in-law's garden. I always look forward to his visits (and a chat!) and enjoy looking at the garden when he has been. He provides a first rate service with a smile!

We booked them to put some decking down in our backyard and they did a brilliant job. They were responsive, friendly and professional. The job was done quickly and efficiently as they promised. We are really happy with them, would use them again and would recommend them to anyone.

Cannot fault anything - Chris came to look at the job very quickly and once quote was confirmed, got us booked in at a date agreeable with us. He and his colleague did a great job, tidying up after them and taking waste away. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thanks for a great job!

The work has completely transformed the garden space. We have done nothing but sit out since it was completed. Fantastic job and I would highly recommend this firm.
