Garden transformations across Sheffield
Most of our makeovers begin with a garden that is not being used. It might be waterlogged, overgrown, a steep bank, or just tired after decades without attention. Our Sheffield reviews describe the results better than we can: gardens "completely transformed", with new lawns, paving, artificial grass and tidy borders.
We start by asking how you want to live in the space. Somewhere for children to play safely? A sunny spot for a table and chairs? A garden that looks after itself because you work long hours? From there we design a layout that fits the plot, the slope and the house, and price it clearly.
What a makeover usually includes
- Clearing the old garden: weeds, tired turf, broken paving, overgrown shrubs.
- Levels and drainage set so water runs away from the house and the lawn does not flood.
- A patio or terrace sized for real furniture, in porcelain or natural stone.
- A new lawn in turf or artificial grass, with clean edges.
- Borders cleared, edged, and replanted or gravelled.
- On sloping plots, retaining walls or sleepers and steps to create level areas.
- Extras such as decking, a pergola, lighting or new fencing.
Designing for Sheffield gardens
Sheffield's hills mean many back gardens slope, sometimes steeply. Terracing turns one unusable bank into two or three flat spaces, usually a patio by the house and a lawn below or above. Clay in many parts of the city holds water, so lawns need properly prepared ground or a free-draining artificial base. Older stone houses in Nether Edge, Walkley or Crookes suit natural sandstone and softer planting; modern homes suit porcelain and clean lines.

Questions about garden makeovers
How long does a garden makeover take?
Typically one to two weeks for an average back garden. Steep plots, difficult access or lots of walling take longer.
Can you design a garden for children?
Yes. Safe level lawns or artificial grass, space for play equipment and a patio where you can keep an eye on them.
Can you do a makeover for a relative?
Yes. We often work on gardens for parents or grandparents, and keep the family updated throughout.
Do I need to be home?
No, as long as we can get into the garden.
