Professional landscape design and construction in Harrogate & North Yorkshire. We transform tired lawns into beautiful outdoor rooms for relaxing, entertaining, and growing.
Welcome to Alder & Stone. We believe that your garden should be an extension of your home—a place to unwind with a coffee in the morning or host friends in the evening. Founded by lead landscaper James Alder, we specialize in complete garden transformations. We don't just dig holes; we combine structural hardscaping with soft planting schemes to create balanced, usable spaces that look good in every season.
With over 12 years of experience in horticulture and construction, we build gardens that are made to last. We are proud members of the Association of Professional Landscapers (APL) and hold City & Guilds qualifications in bricklaying and horticulture. We carry full public liability insurance and offer a 5-year guarantee on all our hardscaping work, giving you total peace of mind.
Whether you need a low-maintenance courtyard or a full family garden, we handle the entire project from concept to completion.
Expert installation of granite, Indian sandstone and natural stone patios. We ensure proper drainage and solid foundations for a finish that won't sink or crack.
From composite decking areas for dining to bespoke timber fencing and pergolas that add privacy and height to your boundary lines.
Struggling to visualize the space? We offer 2D plans and 3D visualizations to help you agree on the layout, materials, and planting before we break ground.
The finishing touches. We source high-quality trees, shrubs, and turf to bring color and life to the hardscaping, creating a garden that blooms year after year.
Construction work can be stressful. We aim to make the process as clean and transparent as possible.
We provide a detailed written breakdown of costs. The price we quote is the price you pay—no hidden "extras" added at the end of the job.
We respect your property. We protect your driveway with boards, sweep up every evening, and ensure your neighbours aren't inconvenienced by our vans.
You have one point of contact—James. He is on-site daily to manage the team, deliveries, and quality control, so you don't have to chase anyone.
From the first muddy boot visit to the final pressure wash, here is how we work.
We visit your property to measure the space, check soil conditions, and discuss your wishlist and budget.
We propose a layout and material samples. Once you are happy with the design, we provide a fixed quote and start date.
Our team arrives to clear the site. We handle all waste disposal and manage the delivery of skips and materials.
We walk you through your new garden, explain how to care for your new plants, and leave you to enjoy the view.
We have transformed gardens across Harrogate, Knaresborough, and Wetherby. Check our Google Reviews for more.
