Our History
Christian has been in the Garden Design and Construction industry for 30+ years and has gained extensive experience and knowledge on all aspects of Ground works and preparation and Garden construction.
Olive Garden Design and Landscaping was started in 2002 and has steadily expanded over the years.
Originally from Pateley Bridge in Nidderdale, where some of Christians first gardens were constructed using traditional materials from the area.
Christian moved to Harrogate in 1996 to persue his passion further where he has designed and produced some truly out-standing gardens.

We can help improve your lawns with land drains or a drainage system. We use triple screened grit soil to new lawns to help improve drainage.
Paving & Driveways
We use the finest Reclaimed Yorkshire paving and new cut stone to create out-standing patio’s, terraces, paths and driveways.
Some of Our Services
We specialise in garden construction using reclaimed materials and natural stone and wood products which are functional and distinctive.
Our aim is to complete every project to our high standard and your complete satisfaction.
Client Testimonials
“When work commenced Christian and his team were extremely hardworking, considerate and polite and I was impressed how tidy they left the site at the end of each day – a revelation after our messy builders! The work was carried out to a high standard and included the creation of flower borders, raised vegetable beds, a wildlife pond, new turfed lawns with drainage and pathways. Christian always remained cheerful and positive despite working in some pretty awful weather conditions and was eager to find a solution whenever a problem arose. We are delighted with our new garden and wholeheartedly recommend Olive Garden Design and Landscaping.
“We are absolutely delighted with the whole process from initial consultation with Christian, receiving a very professional design, quote and schedule of works to completion of our rear garden. Christian and his team were excellent during the whole process, they were considerate, extremely organised and tidy throughout. All work which included clearance of the old garden, extensive landscaping with changing of levels, building of a pergola, supporting wall and fencing, was carried out to a high standard. We love our garden as do others who have seen it and we have no hesitation in recommending Christian.
“I would like to express my thanks for a job well done. The project which included the building of a 6,000L Pond complete with feature waterfall and underwater lights, landscaping of adjacent flower beds, relocation of the main patio and installation of garden lighting and land drains was included on budget and on time just in time for the glorious summer that most of us have enjoyed. Everybody who has seen the pond has remarked on what a good job it is and how established it looks. Maureen and I have spent many days and evenings in the newly styled garden and I have to say it has been a thoroughly worthwhile investment. Thank you for your efforts and in particular for being so clean and tidy.
“We have no hesitation in recommending Olive Garden Design.Christian and his team helped with the overall concept and the provided detailed planning. This was then completed on time and within budget.
Christian provided valuable input and showed considerable flexibility that resulted in a truly beneficial improvement to our outdoor living space.
We are delighted with the results.
“The transformation to my garden is tremendous – everyone who has seen it so far is very impressed with the design and level of workmanship. But what has impressed me most about this young man and his business is the professionalism, consideration and politeness with which it is carried out, he even phoned several weeks after completion to see if everything was satisfactory. I would without any hesitation recommend him to anyone considering having any work done at their home.
“Anne and I just wanted to say that we love the work you have done for us. Your attention to detail and your problem solving skills are first rate. The way you organise the work and your team has been excellent and we particularly appreciated your regular updates and cross checking with us that we were happy with progress.
We would not hesitate to recommend you to others and indeed we have already done so. And everyone who saw your work in progress noted how you always kept a tidy site – not many tradespeople do so and it was greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your excellent work.
“From the very first instance Christian from Olive Garden Design and Landscaping was prompt and creative with ideas, delivering plans and estimated costs within 24 hours. They were always extremely punctual, efficient and tidy when working. The job was completed on time and to our total satisfaction. The most pleasing aspect of their work is an ability to be flexible if an idea is not quite working or to actually suggest a superior way of achieving an effect without going over budget. In addition Christian himself cared very much about his work and the safety of our property whilst on the premises. It was enjoyable to have Christian around and I totally recommend Olive Garden Design and Landscaping without any reservations.
“Throughout the project, you worked in an efficient, safe and tidy manner and we are very pleased with the quality of the finished work.
You and your team were very reliable and professional and always punctual and polite.
We are delighted with the project which incorporates paving, planting, fencing and a new gate and we would have no hesitation in recommending Olive Garden Design and Landscaping to anyone considering such work done.
“Many thanks for all of the excellent work that you and your team has done with our new garden. We are absolutely delighted and have had many favourable comments from friends and family. From our very first meeting, you remained very professional and made us feel like you would take all of the hassle and worry away from us. Each day it was amazing with the progress that you made and how little mess you left behind. I would strongly recommend you to anybody considering having any substantial landscaping work.
“We have been both pleasantly surprised and delighted with the result, achieved on time, and for the agreed price. Christian impressed us with his project management, which required careful coordination for the various elements to come together; his approachability when we needed to discuss any part of the project, and we were particularly pleased with the way in which he interpreted the design he was required to follow. The garden took shape, and through careful attention to detail, has become the living space we had intended it to be. Christian also proved to be utterly reliable and trust worthy, as the job had to continue whilst we were on holiday.
