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

Lee & Co did an amazing job of clearing an old scruffy garage and unused, overgrown space at the end of our garden, and creating a beautiful pergola and seating /socialising area, with raised beds for growing, all fully fenced in (ours is the garden in the makeover video). It more than doubled our use of the garden and years later is still money well spent. Lee was fantastic at advising on the best materials available within our budget and where not to cut corners. He helped to bring our vision to life - was reliable, friendly and totally trustworthy, making brilliant progress, even when we weren’t in. His attention to detail, craftsmanship and the quality of work is amazing. Safe to say the work he did was life-changing for how we use our outdoor space and has brought us so much pleasure. Thank you Lee!!

Lee has renovated my kitchen which included painting, tiling, flooring and rectifying work completed by other trade persons. His work was amazing and carried out in a professional manner. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Trustworthy to the core and will go the extra mile to do an amazing job. Thanks LJT

Excellent service from this company. Attention to detail 100% I employed this company few times now and told them what I wanted and again I wasn’t disappointed . From start to finish I was kept informed and it was kept in budget too Polite, respectful,trust worthy which is a must for me Great service once again and I will always use this company for my jobs around the house and garden

Took out and killed all weeds in my garden, trimmed all my hedges perfectly and comes back every fortnight for lawn mowing and other maintenance.

Christian and the team completed a patio for me last summer. They’re a friendly and hard working team who work to the highest of standards and did exactly what I asked for. Charged a reasonable price and broke it all down for me so I understood. I’ll be having them return in the summer to keep on top of my lawn and plants! 5*

Really friendly, quick, and efficient. Good quality service...happy to recommend!

Top 5* service I use Christian service few times and he never let me down, Job done on time and very professionally Definitely I will be recommended to anyone who wants save money and have top quality service

Bradley did an excellent job in trimming and cutting back an hedge and trees. He also cleared it all away. He was very efficient in sending a quote and then doing the job. Would certainly recommend him. Thank You

A job well done.would recommend

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.

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!

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.

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!

Amazing job done by Dave and the team. They came when they said, did the job and communicated with us throughout the whole process. We had gained a few quotes but liked their attention to detail.

This is our second resin garden project done by Dave and his team. Excellent service from start to finish and their workmanship is always of the highest standard. Dave is professional, reliable and very informative throughout the job. The resin patio looks amazing and we would highly recommend Leeds Landscapes & Driveways.

Cannot recommend enough. We are delighted with our new patio, David was knowledgeable, talked us through the options and achieved a great result. He and his team are friendly and hardworking, respectful of property and were no bother at all during the day. Super efficient and highly recommended 👌

I highly recommend Dave and his team for your driveway project. They did a quality job of our tarmac driveway. I was particularly impressed by how passionate Dave was about getting a great result. Everything was coordinated as planned and communicated, and any hurdles along the way were navigated no drama. He even took on some extra bits along the way without kicking up a fuss (or charging me more). Most importantly, his quote was very competitive!

Our back garden was in desperate need of a makeover. It was tired looking and shabby. I decided it was time for a change and stumbled across Mick and I’m extremely glad I did. The entire process from design to completion has been excellent. To begin with, Mick provided us with several designs. The final design was an amalgamation of our favourite features from each design. He project managed the whole thing and was on site every day overseeing everything. This was so important as it meant we could go about our days without worry. Mick only works with the finest workmen to bring his designs to life and we are completely in love with our garden. Where we rarely ventured out into it before, we haven’t been out of it since it was finished. Mick has also recommended an electrician to install lighting and a gardener to add some planting. We cannot recommend him highly enough and I suggest you contact him as quickly as possible to utilise his talents.

MP Landscape & Garden Design did a great Garden make over for us which we were very pleased with. We have had many years enjoying our outdoor living space. Michael and the team listen to your requirements and come up with excellent designs. Doing the project was again faultless and timely. We have engaged the company again to do another project now 10 years down the line. Again Michael has been excellent and knowledgeable in suggesting ideas that will work for us. Looking forward to our new outdoor living space and kitchen. Highly recommend this company.

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Michael listened carefully to my design brief and captured perfectly what I wanted. His advice and knowledge on all things design and planting related was amazing and keeping him involved as project manager for the construction phase was worth every penny. My entire garden was completed ahead of schedule and matched perfectly to the plan. Cannot recommend highly enough!! Thankyou Michael, I have my dream garden!

MP Landscape Garden Design made the landscaping of my garden a very straight forward and easy process, from working with my ideas to incorporating them into a practical design. Then recommending a reliable and competent builder and overseeing and coordinating the whole process. In hindsight I would not recommend the electrician SD Electricals as I discovered he massively overcharges and uses the cheapest materials. All I had to do was make the tea and pay for it all doing. Overall a great garden design that I’m very pleased with. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Michael’s services again should the occasion present itself.

Knowledgable and talented gardener. Nice chap too. Would recommend.

We had an absolutely brilliant experience working with the FirstLight team. After being disappointed by several companies Neal really took on board what we wanted. The team (headed up by Dave) were informative throughout, even keeping me up to date while I was away on holiday. Incredibly clean and tidy at the end of each working day. Any changes we made were taken onboard without any fuss. The quality of workmanship is clear to see and we now have a beautiful back garden that we can really enjoy and show off. Thank you everyone at FirstLight landscapers.

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.

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

Melissa was a pleasure to deal with and made the process of transforming our garden a really enjoyable process. With Melissa's help, I learnt that despite my ignorance of gardens and plants, I have strong preferences, and Melissa translated my choices into a beautiful and elegant garden which is perfectly suited to the site and to our lifestyle. Highly recommended.

We worked with Melissa in creating a vision for our new garden. Her knowledge and experience were very helpful in creating a design and a planting plan that we could begin to create over time. At all times she was efficient and communicative. She understood our hopes and our budget in arriving at the finished garden plan which we are excited to take forward.

Melissa did a very good job for us and we were very happy with the result. Melissa was diligent, very efficient and kept us well informed on her plans and progress,especially as the redesigning of our front garden was done during the pandemic when communication was difficult.We asked for all year colour and interest. Winter colours from the plants was very pleasing and we are looking forward to the summer blooms.Our front garden has been completely transformed and will give much pleasure for many years to come. Thank you Melissa.45

I was lucky enough to spend a couple of hours with Melissa in my garden. I arranged the consultation as we’re in the process of having new windows and doors fitted and I needed advice on the best way to prune back our existing planting close to the house to allow the work to be undertaken. As it turned out, this was the least of what we covered in those hours! I absolutely loved our time together and the consultation far exceeded my expectations. Melissa is extremely knowledgeable, a great teacher and very good fun! I’m keen to improve my own gardening skills and Melissa took the time to describe to me what she was doing and why, in the hope that I might be able to do it next time on my own. We agreed on a plan of works for the front of the house which will include several more ‘teaching’ visits over the next 6 months. Having made a plan for the front we moved on to a really enjoyable, visionary, creative conversation about the possibilities for our small yard garden at the back of the house. At the end of the 2 hours I felt totally inspired about the future of what is essentially quite a small and uninspiring space. No small feat! I also spent the rest of the weekend gardening. I’m really looking forward to Melissa’s great eye and superb knowledge influencing the shape of our garden over the next few years.
