Garden design in Sheffield
Bespoke outdoor spaces designed around the way you live — and built by the same team that designed them.
Sheffield garden designers who build what they design
Most garden designers hand you a plan and walk away. At Patagonia, we design and build, meaning the team that creates your garden vision is the same team that makes it real. There’s no translation layer, no miscommunication, no compromise between what was drawn and what gets built.
Our garden design service is for Sheffield homeowners who want something more than a generic makeover. Whether your garden is small and unloved, large and overwhelming, or somewhere in between. We start from scratch with your lifestyle, your tastes, and your budget. Then we create a design that works beautifully for you.
From the initial consultation through to the final planted detail, Patagonia handles everything: the concept, the hard landscaping, the planting, the features, and the finish. Sheffield gardens are as varied as the city itself and every design we produce is as individual as the person who commissioned it.
What our Sheffield garden designs include
Garden layout and planning
Every design starts with a scaled plan of your existing garden — boundaries, levels, access points, aspect, and shade patterns. We use this as the foundation to design a layout that makes the most of your space.
Hard landscaping design
Patios, pathways, steps, walls, raised beds, and water features — designed to work together as a cohesive whole and built to last. Our hard landscaping designs are always drawn with the build in mind, so nothing is proposed that can’t be properly delivered.
Planting design
Planting brings a garden to life. We design planting schemes that work with Sheffield’s climate — choosing species for year-round interest, seasonal colour, wildlife value, and ease of maintenance. From lush, layered planting to clean, contemporary schemes, we tailor the planting to the style of the design.
Levels and terracing
Sheffield’s hilly landscape means that level change is one of the most common design challenges we work with. We design terraced gardens, retaining walls, and level transitions that solve the practical problem while creating visual interest and usable space.
Garden features
Fire pits, water features, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, built-in seating, lighting — the features that turn a nice garden into a genuinely great one. We design and build bespoke features as part of the overall garden design.
3D visualisation
For larger projects, we can produce 3D rendered visuals so you can see what your finished garden will look like before a single sod is turned. This is particularly valuable for complex designs with significant level change or multiple zones.
Our garden design process
Free consultation
We start with a conversation at your home to understand what you want, what you love, and what your budget looks like. No pressure, no jargon.
Survey and brief
We carry out a detailed survey of your garden, taking measurements, noting levels and aspect, and confirming the brief.
Concept design
We produce a scaled concept plan showing the layout, zones, materials, and features. We walk you through the design and refine based on your feedback.
Detailed design and quote
Once the concept is approved, we produce a detailed design with a full, itemised build quote. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before any work begins.
Build
Our landscaping team builds the design. Same team, start to finish.

Garden design FAQs
How much does garden design cost in Sheffield?
Our design fee depends on the size and complexity of the project. For clients who proceed with the full design and build, we include the design cost within the overall project price. Contact us to discuss your project and we will give you a clear idea of costs.
Do you offer garden design without the build?
In most cases we work on a design and build basis. However we do consider standalone design commissions for larger projects — get in touch to discuss your requirements.
How long does the design process take?
From initial consultation to approved concept, most designs take 2–4 weeks. The timeline depends on the size of the project and how many revisions are needed. We always work at a pace that suits you.
Can you design small gardens in Sheffield?
Absolutely. Some of our most creative work has been in compact Sheffield gardens — smaller spaces often require more ingenuity in the design, and the transformation can be just as dramatic.
What areas of Sheffield do you cover for garden design?
We cover all of Sheffield and South Yorkshire including Ecclesall, Dore, Fulwood, Ranmoor, Nether Edge, Chapeltown, and surrounding areas including Rotherham, Dronfield, and Chesterfield.
