Helen Taylor Landscape and Garden Design Limited - Ilkley

The one day design process with Helen resulted in a scale plan ready for hard landscaping and with planting suggestions.
I couldn’t have been more pleased with the sensitive, collaborative method of working.
My ideas were incorporated and developed in an exciting way.
Thanks Helen.

We have worked with Helen Taylor & Associates for the past 3 years. We are a local community group, and now a Registered Charity ( No. 1189048) , which was set up in 2018 to help maintain and improve the parks which abut the River Wharfe in Ilkley. We had lots of ideas and plans about what we needed to do to achieve this goal. We can honestly say that without Helen and her colleagues, who give their professional time pro bono, it would have been much more difficult for us to achieve the amazing transformation in the parks areas over the last 4 years. They helped us prepare a Master Plan and have supported us with Planting Schemes and practical help with new flowerbeds and the regeneration of other areas of the park. They have been simply brilliant partners to work with, and with potentially more improvements in the pipeline we look forward to our continuing partnership.

We have known Helen for numerous years and she has worked on two complete new garden designs and full planting for us.
With her wonderful imagination, knowledge and experience she has transformed building sites and barren spaces of land into beautiful gardens for us and we highly recommend Helen Taylor Landscape and Garden Design without hesitation !!

We’ve just got back from our holiday and seen the finished garden, which is amazing! There have been so many “wows” from both of us as we’ve walked round it discovering all the beautiful plants and different elements to the design. It was really exciting to return to our beautiful finished garden and thank you so much for the planting- it really makes the garden.

We love the colours and varieties of plants, many of which we’ve just been enjoying seeing everywhere on holiday. We’ve already enjoyed sitting on the patio, in the rain!, having a coffee and enjoying our new garden.

Thank you so much for your creative design and planting, Helen, and thanks to Anthony and his team for their hard work and attention to detail in creating the hard landscaping. We know it was such a difficult space for them to work in and really appreciate their patience and tenacity with the project. We’re delighted with the result and hope that they, and you, are proud of the finished result.

I wanted to convert my back garden to incorporate a single floor extension and a courtyard garden in the other half.
Helen visited for a garden planning day and produced a very stylish design, which I has completely transformed the space. It's a great feeling every time I look at the garden through extension bifold doors - the icing on the cake of this development, which in all respects has exceeded my expectations.
I've found Helen very helpful and a pleasure to work with - both at the time of planning and since.

We wanted our garden redesigned to make better use of it, but had little idea what to expect. Helen took us carefully through each stage of the design process from initial ideas to planting, taking time to listen and discuss options. There was even a visit to the nursery to help select plants. We are glad that we took the plunge to have a garden redesign - it was an enjoyable process. We have definitely benefitted from Helen’s creativity and expertise. The result - a lovely green space, full of interesting plants and views.

Helen always has lots of ideas and we have used her services on 3 separate occasions.  Our latest project was a rustic seating area at the bottom of our garden.  Helen visited and after listening to our thoughts came back with many fantastic ideas together with website addresses for relevant items.  The end result has been so well used as a seating area and we just love it!
We can highly recommend Helen for landscaping projects.

We decided that our drive and back garden needed an overhaul so thought it would be a good idea to get a garden designer on board. We chose Helen as she was local and came with good recommendations. She is efficient and understands the clients needs and style.
After the area was extensively measured, Helen came back with 3 different designs and we were instantly drawn to one. Helen can arrange for landscapers however we used our own and they used Helens plans which were brilliant and easy to follow.
Now it has all been completed we are over the moon with the finished article. We get so many compliments.
