Beautiful gardens that work for you.
Beauty by Design
Paperbark Garden design from Chris Zbrozyna and Sian McNeilly.
Together we've designed and landscaped stunning and practical gardens all over Leeds, Harrogate, Wetherby, Wakefield, York and Yorkshire.
We are RHS Gold Medal Winners, BALI (British Association of Landscape Industries) Award winners, Chris is a member of the Society of Garden Designers and Sian is a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute.
"From our first meeting, Chris understood our needs for a lower maintenance garden as we get older, but also our desire to have a very interesting and different style of garden to what we have been used to. He made the design process very enjoyable and we were able to fully visualise how the garden would look from his presentations. He took on board our views and comments, and was very willing to adapt the design to suit us - although there were very little changes needed. The resulting garden is just perfect. He has taken us into a different style of gardening and types of plants, which we love. Sian also engaged with us during the planting and post project reviews, and was very helpful. They have maintained an interest in our garden, being very keen to ensure we, and the plants, are all happy in their new setting. Chris and Sian are both very knowledgeable, very friendly, and it's been a delight to have them design and plant our garden." John and May, Knaresborough.
Sublime Spaces Created Just for you
Creating dreams for your outdoor piece of heaven.
A garden of beauty and practicality that works perfectly for you.
Have a look at our portfolio page and see for yourself. Everything from compact front yards to rambling back gardens, large planting borders to walled gardens. Over the past twenty five years we have had the pleasure of designing and creating great garden design projects for our clients.
'Chris and Sian are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and they welcomed and listened to my ideas about how I hoped my garden would be. They transformed our rather tired, mature and neglected garden into one that is easy to manage and a space that we now love and enjoy without worry. It has been greatly admired by our neighbours, friends and family. I really appreciated the detailed plan of the garden they created - labelled the plants and how we could care for them. It also showed when the plants would be at their best, giving us colour and interest all year round. I would highly recommend them as a trustworthy and inspirational team and they have delivered a garden that is much more than we had ever imagined.'

We do things a little differently.
We work to the highest standards, love what we do and take immense pride in our work. It’s a passion made into a dream job!
"Just wanted to say how delighted I am with my garden four years on... Sian and Chris did such a wonderful job planning my garden then doing a planting plan and placing the plants in position to be planted by myself. I wasn't always the easiest of customers, having very definite ideas about some things and no ideas whatsoever about most things but we got there in the end and the results are AMAZING!! Friends can't believe that I manage the garden myself without any help (I am not really a gardener) but Chris and Sian totally took on board that it needed to be low maintenance and no that the plants have spread there is not much room for weeds! The hard landscape contractor Anthony Jones, that they recommended, was equally fabulous so that even before the plants went in it looked great. I can't recommend Paperbark highly enough... friendly, warm, patient, skilled, knowledgable and kind. Thankyou." Anne Birdsall.
What is different is that we do everything from consultation to landscape drawing and then we make it happen. You only have to deal with one (well two!) people. We manage the whole project if you wish. Building works, lighting, planting – absolutely everything.
If this all sounds amazing to you – please call and lets chat about your dream landscape.
We have created stunning landscapes to home owners in Leeds, York, Wakefield, Collingham, Wetherby, Boston Spa, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Pontefract, Castelford, Headingley, Denby Dale, Selby, Ilkley, Roundhay, Harrogate and across Yorkshire. We would love you to be next.
