What we build
The whole garden, planned as one.
Most of our jobs are whole gardens: we sort the levels, lay the patio, build the walls and steps, then turf and plant. We do smaller jobs too.
01
Full garden renovations
We draw up one plan for the whole garden, then build it in one go. Typical jobs take two to four weeks.

Indian sandstone, Yorkstone and porcelain, laid on a full mortar bed over a proper sub-base.
Enquire about this 03Walls, steps & levels
Sloping gardens are normal round here. Retaining walls, stone steps and terraces turn a bank into somewhere you can actually sit.

Before and after.
Three recent gardens, as we found them and as we left them.
Making a sloping garden work
A steep bank turned into two levels with a Yorkstone retaining wall and steps. Four weeks.
A tired lawn turned into a proper garden
Patchy lawn relaid, new fencing all round and a porcelain path to the shed. Two weeks.
Built in the right order
Good groundwork makes the finish last.
Most patios that sink or flood were laid on too little sub-base with no fall for the water. We dig out properly and set every level so rain runs away from the house.
- Ground preparation
- Levels that drain
- 150mm compacted sub-base

About us
A small team that builds gardens properly.
Calder Landscape & Build is Jamie Firth and a team of three, based in Halifax since 2011. We spend the time on the parts you don’t see, like the sub-base, drainage and levels, so the patio is still flat and the walls still straight in ten years.
You deal with the same team from the first site visit to the final clean-up, with no subcontractors turning up halfway through.

Example customer feedback
★★★★★Example Google review
“We’d put the garden off for years because we didn’t know where to start. They planned the whole thing, kept us updated every day and left the site spotless. We actually use the garden now.”
★★★★★Example Google review
“Our garden is on a steep slope and they sorted the levels properly. The stone steps look like they’ve always been there.”
★★★★★Example Google review
“Clear quote, sensible advice on materials and the patio was finished exactly when they said it would be.”
Working across Calderdale
Local to Calderdale, and used to its hills.
Most of our work is within half an hour of Halifax, and we’re used to steep gardens and awkward access.
