Why Yorkshire Gardens

One of the North's most respected design & build teams.

We aren't a maintenance firm with a design service bolted on. Yorkshire Gardens is a dedicated bespoke studio — every garden conceived, drawn and built by the same hands.

01

Bespoke design, every time

No template gardens. Lead designer John Brennan starts every project with a blank page and your brief — and never re-uses a layout.

02

Built by our own team

Darren and the crew — Joe, Andy and Jack — are on site every day. No subcontracted strangers. No corners cut. Five weeks of relentless attention to detail.

03

Accredited & certified

Members of the Association of Professional Landscapers, TrustMark Approved, and Wildflower Turf Ltd Accredited Installers — credentials very few Yorkshire firms can match.

04

Aftercare you can rely on

Our gardens come with a meaningful warranty period — and proactive follow-up visits at no extra cost. We honour what we promise.

About Yorkshire Gardens

A design studio rooted in Yorkshire — building gardens with character, craft and longevity.

Yorkshire Gardens LLP is a Leeds-based design and build company serving Yorkshire's finest homes. Led by John Brennan — designing bespoke gardens for over a decade — and built around a core team with more than 50 combined years of landscaping expertise.

Our approach is unhurried and personal. John spends time in your garden, listens to how you live, and only then begins to draw. The result isn't a garden imposed on a space — it's a garden that feels like it has always belonged there.

  • Lead designer with 10+ years of bespoke garden design experience
  • Core build team with 50+ combined years on the tools
  • One of the only APL Members operating across Yorkshire
  • Projects from £10k feature borders to £100k+ full transformations

Every review on our website is five stars. Every one. These are a few of the families who have invited us to design and build their garden.

★★★★★
"Yorkshire Gardens completed an extensive landscaping job for me. They went above and beyond to get the job done in the time frame promised. After care has also been amazing. John and Darren are so helpful. Can't recommend these guys enough."
Orla Burgan
Shadwell, Leeds
★★★★★
"Our garden has been transformed from a soggy muddy square of grass to what we consider to be our 'Outdoor Oasis'. John's design is fantastic — we were stunned when we saw it come to life. His vision and creativeness is second to none."
Sarah Radzki
Otley, West Yorkshire
★★★★★
"This was the most expensive thing I have ever treated myself to — but by the end I felt like I had won the lottery! The completely new garden — quite unrecognizable — was magnificent. I would recommend Yorkshire Gardens wholeheartedly!"
Emily Mumford
Thornhill Edge
★★★★★
"Darren and the boys worked virtually non-stop for 5 weeks, often arriving in early morning darkness. Their attention to detail was remarkable — it is worth every penny."
Brenda Pidcock

★★★★★
"John was excellent on the design, taking the time to understand our brief. The Yorkshire Gardens team were brilliant — very hard working and very friendly. We were delighted with the outcome and six months later that's still the case."

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

If you can't find what you're looking for, give John a call on 0113 262 1214.

Our projects typically range from £10k for a focused redesign of a small garden or set of borders, up to £100k+ for full transformations of larger plots. Every garden is bespoke, so we provide a detailed fixed quote after the design consultation — no surprises, ever.
We're based in Leeds (LS17) and regularly work across Leeds, York, Harrogate, Wetherby, Wakefield, Skipton, Otley, Roundhay, Bradford, Dewsbury, Huddersfield and the surrounding villages. If you're in Yorkshire and you have a project in mind, we'd love to hear from you.
The design phase usually takes 3–4 weeks of considered work. Build times vary by scope — most of our projects are on site for 4–8 weeks, with the team working continuously rather than rotating between sites. We'll give you a clear timeline before any contract is signed.
Yes. John designs every Yorkshire Gardens project himself — there's no junior designer, no template, no outsourcing. He visits your garden, understands how you live, and draws a plan tailored entirely to you. During build, John remains involved alongside Darren and the crew.
Absolutely. All our work is covered by a meaningful warranty period, and we include proactive follow-up visits at no further cost. As one of our clients put it: "John and his team have kept an eye on the garden to ensure the warranty period is honoured." We don't disappear once the job is finished.
Three things: we're one of very few APL Members in the region, we're TrustMark Approved, and we're a true design AND build studio — meaning the person who draws your garden is part of the same team that builds it. Add 25+ consecutive five-star reviews, and you have a level of accountability that's genuinely rare.

Let's design the garden you've been imagining.

A relaxed conversation, a considered design, and a build team that turns up every day. That's the Yorkshire Gardens promise.
