Welcome to Richard Easton Gardens. Richard has been designing, building and planting gardens and landscapes, mainly across Yorkshire and Lancashire, for over 25 years.

Does your garden need a revamp? Have you just moved house and find no time to develop the garden? Are you stumped as to just what to do with your plot? Is your small garden stifling your use of the outdoors? Richard has a wealth of experience designing all kinds of gardens, from the formal and historical, to the wilder, naturalistic combination of grasses and herbaceous perennials. Let us help you get the best garden design you possibly can, so that you can relax and enjoy your home and garden.

Your perfect garden is just one call away. We can maximise your enjoyment of the outdoor space, or simply relieve you of those tedious maintenance chores through clever design. If you have always wanted that perfect combination of colours and textures, a space in which to relax not battle with the lawn every weekend, then contact me today. I can take you through the design and build process, or perhaps discuss ways that I can work with you in an advisory, or mentoring role. The choice is yours.
