Sheffield's terrain means garden landscaping here is genuinely different from a flat city - many gardens across Walkley, Crookes and parts of Nether Edge are terraced or sloped, changing both the design brief and cost compared with a level plot elsewhere in the city.

What drives the price

Retaining walls and level changes add real cost on sloped gardens that a flat-plot quote won't reflect. Access without a side gate is the other main variable on terraced streets. Mature trees in the more established suburbs are sometimes protected by a Tree Preservation Order.

Combine with an extension where relevant

Where a kitchen extension is also planned, particularly on a sloping site, designing the garden alongside it avoids redoing groundwork and retaining structures twice.
