I believe that is a female garden spider. Perfectly harmless and a benefit to your garden.

That is an odd web design though I’ll confirm my initial thoughts.

I found pictures of the black and yellow garden spider in helix webs like that. Argiope Aurantia. She’ll eat grasshoppers and other garden pests so there’s no need to demolish her web. She can be amusing too. If you toss a grasshopper into her web, you may see her bounce around and make her web vibrate which I always found funny.
