“JB Landscapes completely redesigned our garden and transformed it from a 'crumbling wreck' into a modern, tidy, neat-lined, low maintenance, GORGEOUS space that we can't wait to spend time in. The team were excellent, professional and generally superb and we cannot recommend them highly enough. John's visions are inspired and he is very knowledgeable and pays such attention to detail as he is such a perfectionist! From the initial consultation to the finishing touches we cannot fault JB Landscapes. Thank you so much all!”

North Leeds Garden Design

Bradford, West Yorkshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

7 January 2017

“A year ago, the garden at our new home was a neglected and overgrown mess, and far beyond my capabilities to bring it back to life. I had found North Leeds Garden Design on a website before we moved to Leeds, and it seemed to offer the sort of services that we were looking for. I asked Sarah Johnson to come and look at the project, and we had further site meetings before she produced a detailed plan for the restoration of the garden. I was particularly pleased that this turned out to be the style of garden that we had discussed with Sarah and not something that she wanted to impose on us. The works included new fencing and the grinding out of shrubs' roots. This part of the project was ably managed by Sarah's husband, George, who runs his own garden maintenance company. The overall outcome has matched our very high expectations, and we feel that the result has given good value for money. We can't wait to see the garden in what promises to be all it's glory in the Spring and Summer.”

Landscape One Design Ltd

Bradford, West Yorkshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

19 May 2016

“Landscape One transformed our front garden. We discussed our ideas and the design was produced in 3D image on the computer which enabled us to visualise what the finished garden would look like. We were very happy with the workmanship and professionalism and their interpretation of our requirements. Each day the site was left neat and tidy. Their time keeping was also reliable. Landscape One came to us by means of recommendation by a friend and we were not disappointed.”

Phil Hirst Garden Design

Bradford, West Yorkshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

2 February 2016

“Would highly recommend Phil Hirst Garden Design. We have never used a garden designer before but would use Phil again if ever needed. Our garden looks beautiful and everybody comments on it. Phil took on board what we asked for and came up with a really good plan. Only a year on now but it looks great.”

Full Circle Garden Design & Construction

Bradford, West Yorkshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

7 November 2016

“I cannot recommend this company too highly. From help wth the initial planning to the end result everyone has been truly professional . Paul and the gang worked tirelessly through heavy rain and sunshine to create my perfect garden. They were always happy to advise and kept me informed every step of the way. At the end of each day everything was left neat and tidy and I was told what time to expect them the following day and what the next step would be. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Full Circle to anyone .”

Kit Peel Gardens

Bradford, West Yorkshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

23 March 2017

“We asked Kit Peel Gardens to create a design for our garden. We required something that was low maintenance (as neither of us is green fingered), wildlife friendly and on a reasonably tight budget. We found Kit to be very friendly and a delight to have about. He spent a great deal of time discussing ideas with us and was very patient with our naive comments! He surveyed the garden before returning a couple of weeks later with not only drawings but an online 3D design which gave us a great idea of what his plans were. We were initially reticent about having the Amerlanchier Lamarkii trees as we were worried that they would be out of place in a small garden but he was absolutely right and we love them as do the birds. In the spring we had dozens of bees visiting everyday which is what we had hoped for. Additionally, we have plants flowering at different times of the year which provides all year round interest. We would highly recommend Kit to anybody wanting a bespoke garden design.”

Ginkgo Garden Design

Bradford, West Yorkshire Landscape Architects and Garden Designers

22 February 2016

“I wanted a design for seated/bbq area within a specific budget. I was listened to and my thoughts and ideas were acted upon. When I was in doubt, I was given good advice and Gingko garden design went the extra mile to find a ground product that was both within my price range and to my liking.”

Whatever your Bradford, West Yorkshire garden looks like, and whatever its size, you can probably benefit from the services of a Bradford, West Yorkshire garden designer or landscape architect. If you want to completely overhaul the look of your garden or perhaps just make some smaller changes but don’t know where to start, hiring a garden design professional in Bradford, West Yorkshire is the first step. Not only can a landscape architect design a garden that a Chelsea award winner might be proud of, they can also completely change the value of your Bradford, West Yorkshire home by looking at your landscape architecture as a whole. The work of a landscape architect serves much more than your garden; it makes the most of your outdoor space in a way that showcases your entire home. Landscape architects and garden designers do differ in the types of services they offer so it’s best to have some idea as to what you want to achieve before hiring a professional.

Do I need a garden designer or landscape architect?

Although there are similarities between both professions, there are some key differences which you will need to consider when choosing the right landscape architect or garden designer or firm for your job in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Depending on the scope of your project, you may need to hire a fully qualified Bradford, West Yorkshire landscape architect and not a garden designer. Typically, a landscape architect would be needed for larger jobs that may involve structural changes or reconstructing the garden.

What is a landscape architect?

Much like architecture, surveying or accountancy, landscape architecture is a chartered profession. In order to become a fully fledged landscape architect, you will need to have a degree and need to study ‘on the job’ to qualify. Additionally you will need to be a member of a qualifying and regulation authority of the profession such as the Landscape Institute.

A landscape architect will handle all design, supply, construction and administrative elements of your garden or landscaping project. They will take into account your needs, the climate and unique advantages and constraints of the landscape architecture. Typically, work will be based on ecological and environmental considerations, and a garden will be planned not only to look its best but also to facilitate future maintenance and growth so that it continues to flourish. A landscape architect can also design any outdoor buildings that are to be featured in your garden. Everything from design blueprints through to the plants themselves should be provided by your landscape architect. If there is other architectural development taking place on your site, bring the landscape architect in as early as possible.

The expertise a landscape architect can apply to understanding your space and the natural environment could be vital to planning your project. Let your Bradford, West Yorkshire landscape architect work closely with your architect, surveyor and any other contractors in order to develop landscape architecture that works with any other construction. This is important from a design perspective as well as on a practical level – changes to the grading of a landscape and modifications such as drainage can have serious implications on the viability of your land for extensive building and structural works. In order to resolve any planning permission issues, submit all applications for building and landscape architecture together, well ahead of the project.

What is a garden designer?

Garden designers will provide a complete service, including planting plans, hard landscape elements (paths, walls, paving, decking) and special features such as water features, lighting and garden furniture. A Bradford, West Yorkshire garden designer can do design-only work for their clients and work with a garden contractor to finish the job or complete the whole thing themselves.

A garden designer has a different career path to a landscape architect so it is not essential to have a degree. Many garden designers will complete several courses to learn about their profession and to hone their skills - some will also eventually go on to become landscape architects.

The scope of garden designers, or landscape gardeners, is often more limited to green space projects which will optimise your existing outdoor space rather than altering the landscape architecture as a whole. Whereas landscape architects specialise in the structural aspect of garden planning and building, garden designers will carry out projects that are of aesthetic and horticultural value. Landscape gardeners will make your garden the best version of itself with features such as walkways, patios, water features, fences and lighting, as well as choosing the right plants, trees and flowers. The practical role of a garden designer may vary by firm – some offer just the plans, requiring a separate contractor, while others fulfil the project in its entirety, from conceptualisation of the landscape gardening to construction. Don’t be put off by the former if you happen to find a good garden designer that you like – he or she will have local industry connections to introduce you to quality, reliable gardening professionals with whom they have existing relationships. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of landscape architects & garden designers: Landscape Contractors, Garden & Landscape Supplies, Tree Services, Lawn & Sprinklers, Decks, Patios, Sheds & Summerhouses.

How do I choose good landscape architects or garden designers in Bradford, West Yorkshire?

When choosing your Bradford, West Yorkshire garden designer or landscape architect, be sure to research their qualifications and look at examples of their previous work. Any good garden professional will have a portfolio of previous projects which can be used to assess their skill level and whether or not their style is in line with ideas you may have. Once you have shortlisted or chosen your architect or designer, an on-site meeting is essential so they can see exactly what they’ll be working with. Stay briefed on all plans and developments, both before and during the project as a plan you approved previously may change during the course of the project. Be very clear on your budget – just like plans, costs may alter while work is underway so ensure your professional keeps you informed and does not incur additional expense without approval. If you are open-minded and budget-conscious, consider approaching new graduates keen for experience, who may negotiate a lower rate than more experienced professionals.
