Garden Design Leeds & North Leeds
Beautiful gardens designed with plants, nature and long-term growth in mind

Whether you are looking to completely transform an existing garden, improve the layout of your outdoor space or create a beautiful planting scheme, we can help you make the most of your garden.
Our approach is simple: we create individual gardens that work with their surroundings, suit the people who use them and grow more beautiful over time.
Our Garden Design Services
-
Garden Design
From the initial ideas through to a complete garden masterplan, we can help you create a garden that works as a whole.
We consider layout, circulation, planting, materials, boundaries, focal points and the relationship between your garden and your home.
-
Planting Design
Planting is at the heart of what we do.
We create detailed planting schemes tailored to your garden's soil, light, conditions and style, using plants chosen for colour, texture, structure, seasonal interest and wildlife value.
-
Soft Landscaping
Once your design and planting plan are ready, our experienced team can help bring the planting to life.
Our horticultural knowledge means we understand how planting plans translate into real gardens and how borders develop and mature over time.
-
Aftercare
A new garden needs time and care to establish.
We can provide advice and ongoing support to help your plants get the best start and your garden develop as intended.
Garden Designers in Leeds
Every garden is different, and every GardenWild project is individual. We take time to understand your garden, your home and how you want to use your outdoor space before developing a design that is right for you. From established gardens in North Leeds to smaller urban spaces, we consider the character of the property, the existing landscape and the opportunities within the garden to create a thoughtful and cohesive design. Our garden design service can include everything from an initial consultation and concept design through to detailed planting plans and support with bringing the finished garden to life.
Garden design with horticulture at its heart
At GardenWild, we believe that great garden design starts with great plants. Our team has extensive hands-on experience planting and maintaining gardens throughout Yorkshire, alongside professional horticultural and garden design training. This practical knowledge is an important part of the way we design. We consider the conditions of your garden — including soil, light, aspect, drainage and exposure — when developing both the design and planting scheme. The result is a garden that is not only beautiful, but one where the plants have the best possible chance to establish, thrive and develop over time.
We don't see gardens as fixed installations. They are living, evolving spaces.

Designing gardens for Leeds and North Leeds
Leeds is home to an enormous variety of gardens and properties, from established suburban gardens to contemporary homes and smaller urban spaces. We work with the individual character of each site rather than applying a standard garden design style. A garden in Alwoodley may present very different opportunities from a town garden elsewhere in Leeds, and that's exactly what makes each project interesting. We consider the architecture of the property, the surrounding landscape and the way the garden connects with the wider environment. Where appropriate, we also look at how existing trees, mature planting, boundaries and established features can be incorporated into the new design rather than starting again from scratch.
Our Garden Design Process
Consultation
We begin with a conversation about your garden.
We'll talk through what you like about the existing space, what isn't working, how you want to use it and what you'd like to achieve. It's also an opportunity for us to understand your ideas, preferences and priorities.
Garden Design
We develop the ideas into a considered garden design, bringing together the different elements of the space.
This might include areas for sitting and entertaining, paths and circulation, planting areas, lawn, screening, focal points and other garden features. The aim is to create a garden that feels cohesive and natural rather than a collection of separate elements.
Understanding gardens
Before developing a design, we look carefully at the site.
We consider the existing layout, aspect, soil, planting, boundaries and relationship between the garden and your home. Understanding the conditions of a garden is essential to creating a design that will work in practice.
Planting Design
Planting is considered as an integral part of the garden rather than something added at the end.
We develop planting schemes that combine structure, colour, texture and seasonal interest, choosing plants that are appropriate for the conditions of your garden.
Bringing the garden to life
Once the design is agreed, we can provide the information and support needed to turn the plans into a finished garden. Our soft landscaping team can install planting plans carefully and professionally, giving your plants the best possible start.
Planting for year-round interest
A garden should have something to offer throughout the year.
We use a combination of trees, shrubs, perennials, grasses, bulbs and other plants to create layers of interest that change with the seasons. Spring bulbs can provide the first burst of colour. Summer perennials bring energy and movement. Grasses and seedheads can add texture later in the year, while carefully selected trees and shrubs provide structure throughout the winter. We also consider wildlife wherever it is appropriate, creating gardens where plants, insects, birds and people can coexist.
Our planting styles range from naturalistic and wildlife-friendly gardens to cottage, Mediterranean, prairie and more contemporary planting schemes.
