Designing a garden that is both functional and visually appealing is always rewarding. For this rear garden in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, I developed detailed garden layout plans along with a walkthrough animation to show how the space could be transformed. The design features porcelain paving for patios and paths, steps leading to a raised seating area with a pergola, brick raised beds for planting, a lawn, and trellis panels with climbing plants along the borders.

The goal of this design was to create a garden that feels both welcoming and balanced. By combining durable hard landscaping with structured planting and multiple functional areas, I ensured the garden works for relaxation, entertaining, and everyday use. This approach reflects my experience designing practical and stylish gardens across West Yorkshire, including Wakefield, Pontefract, and surrounding areas.
Porcelain Paving for Patios and Paths
I specified porcelain paving for the patio and pathway areas because it is sleek, modern, and low-maintenance. Its smooth finish enhances the contemporary feel of the garden, while reflecting light to make smaller spaces appear larger. Porcelain paving is an ideal choice for West Yorkshire gardens where durability and style are key.
Steps Leading to a Pergola Seating Area
To create a sense of journey and structure, I included steps leading up to a raised seating area. This space is framed by a timber pergola, offering shade and intimacy. The pergola adds height, visual interest, and a focal point that enhances the flow between the different garden levels.
Brick Raised Beds for Planting
The layout includes brick raised beds, which provide structure and height while offering space for layered planting. These beds soften the hard landscaping and bring seasonal colour and texture to the garden. Structured planting in raised beds is a practical solution for compact gardens in West Yorkshire, adding both visual appeal and functionality.
Lawn and Borders with Trellis Panels
A central lawn area balances the hard landscaping, providing a soft, open space for relaxation and play. Along the edges, I incorporated trellis panels with climbing plants to add vertical greenery, privacy, and seasonal interest. This approach creates a lush, inviting garden that complements the overall design of Wakefield and West Yorkshire homes.
Walkthrough Animation
To bring the design to life, I produced a walkthrough animation of the garden layout plans. This allows clients to visualise how patios, paths, pergola seating, lawn, raised beds, and trellis panels work together. It is particularly useful for understanding the flow and functionality of West Yorkshire garden layouts before any construction begins.
