Wetherby and the villages around it are some of the best garden territory in Yorkshire. Larger plot sizes, period properties, river views along the Wharfe, and a demographic that takes its gardens seriously. From the walled gardens of the old town to the converted barns and large new-builds at Linton, Boston Spa and Walton, the briefs vary but the ambition is usually high.
Designing for Wetherby gardens
Soil. Wetherby sits where the clay of West Yorkshire meets the limestone influence of North Yorkshire. Soil varies considerably from one street to the next. We probe and test at the first site visit so the planting plan is built for the soil you actually have.
Microclimate. The Wharfe valley creates pockets of frost and sheltered south-facing slopes within walking distance of each other. Spofforth, Walton, Linton and Bardsey each behave differently. We design with the parish in mind, not the postcode.
Areas we cover. Wetherby town, Linton, Walton, Boston Spa, Bardsey, Spofforth, Little Ribston, Kirk Deighton, Collingham, Sicklinghall, Thorp Arch.
