Welcome to Paperbark Garden Design

Award Winning Garden Design

Paperbark Garden Design was formed by Chris sixteen years ago out of a love of plants and gardening and a keen interest in design. Based in Leeds we cover the whole of Yorkshire including Harrogate, Ilkley, Knaresborough, York, Menston, Wetherby, Wakefield and Sheffield.
We are RHS Gold Medal Winners, BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) Award winners, members of the Society of Garden Designers and Chartered members of the Landscape Institute.

We have a small family run business providing excellent service, individual to your needs. We do not use computers for designing and all garden design sketches, garden design plans and construction drawings are hand drawn. Our garden design sketches show how the finished design will look in your garden.

We can visit you and discuss your garden design needs as a free consultation, we can then produce an outline plan, a masterplan which includes all the individual plant names and numbers you need as planting is an integral part of our garden designs. We can arrange for special landscape contractors to price the finished design and can oversee works. See Our Services Page.

We work with Electricians for night lighting and water features, Plumbers for water features, Steel fabricators for sculpture, seating, fire pits and water features for client approval and Stone quarries for hand selection of the right stone for you to approve.
From the steel in our sculptures to the quarried stone in our paving, the materials we use are local and hand chosen for you, our client.

Chris lectured the Leeds Garden Design and Landscape students at Leeds Metropolitan University. As a 17 year old Chris was digging bare root roses into a clay field in the Midlands for a commercial grower, he knows a thing or two about plants! See The Designers Page.

All of the garden designs on this website have been designed by Paperbark Garden Design. We do not use computer produced repeat designs and there are no ‘hidden costs’ in our fees.

Bespoke garden designs at reasonable prices.

Paperbark Garden Design are Chris Zbrożyna and Siân McNeilly.
