Howard’s Way Ltd
Howard’s Way Ltd – Landscaping and Outdoor Transformations in South Yorkshire
Howard’s Way Ltd is a family-run landscaping and building company based in Goldthorpe, South Yorkshire, providing garden transformations, paving, driveways and a wide range of outdoor improvement services.
The business was established in 1988 by Steve Howard after a career that included construction and the coal industry. More than three decades later, another generation of the Howard family is involved in the company.
Howard’s Way is one of the independent Yorkshire businesses we're pleased to feature on The White Shire, helping people discover established local companies alongside the places, walks and events that make Yorkshire worth exploring.
A Family-Run South Yorkshire Business
Howard’s Way has a genuine South Yorkshire family-business story.
Founder Steve Howard originally trained as an apprentice mason paver with Barnsley Council before moving into the coal industry. During the miners' strikes, he returned to construction work to support his family and eventually established Howard’s Way in 1988.
Steve's son Tom later began helping his dad while completing an electrical engineering apprenticeship. He eventually joined Howard’s Way full-time and took an increasingly active role in developing the company.
Today, the business has grown into a wider team while retaining its family roots.
It's exactly the type of Yorkshire business we want people to discover through The White Shire.
Garden Landscaping and Transformations
Howard’s Way undertakes individual landscaping projects as well as larger garden transformations.
Its services include patios, porcelain and Indian stone paving, driveways, fencing, timber and composite decking, pergolas and artificial turf. The company also undertakes building work including external walls and pointing.
Having several services available through one business can be particularly useful when transforming an entire garden rather than completing one small area.

Patios and Paving
Patios and paving form an important part of Howard’s Way's work.
The company works with materials including porcelain and Indian stone, allowing customers to choose a finish that suits both the property and the style of garden they're trying to create.
Its portfolio includes examples of completed paving and landscaping projects, which is always worth looking through before choosing somebody to undertake a substantial garden transformation.
Driveways
Howard’s Way also undertakes driveway installations, extending its work beyond the back garden.
Driveways need to be practical and durable, but they also have a major effect on the appearance of a property.
Being able to combine driveway, paving, walling and landscaping work can therefore be useful where both the front and rear outdoor areas are being improved.
Fencing, Decking and Pergolas
Fencing, timber and composite decking and pergolas are also among the company's landscaping services.
These can be individual projects or incorporated into a wider garden transformation.
Decking can create a defined seating or entertaining area, while pergolas introduce height and structure. New fencing can improve privacy and security while also creating a much better backdrop for the finished garden.
Artificial Turf
For customers specifically looking for an alternative to a traditional lawn, Howard’s Way also installs artificial turf.
It won't be the right choice for every garden, but it provides another option where the customer's priorities include particular maintenance requirements or how the outdoor space will be used.
Landscaping and Building Experience
Howard’s Way isn't solely a landscaping company.
Its building experience allows the team to undertake work such as external walls, brickwork and pointing alongside garden improvements.
This can be particularly useful on projects where landscaping and construction overlap rather than treating them as completely separate jobs.
Howard’s Way also states that it is fully insured, with public liability cover of up to £5 million and employers' liability cover of at least £5 million.
Based in Goldthorpe
Howard’s Way is based at 8 High Street, Goldthorpe, South Yorkshire, S63 9LR.
Its website contains a substantial portfolio of completed projects, allowing prospective customers to look at examples of the company's previous landscaping and building work.
That's particularly valuable with landscaping. Photographs of completed projects can give a far better idea of the type of work a company undertakes than a simple list of services.
