More Information
Designed for Aberdeenshire Gardens
Garden design in northeast Scotland has to account for the local climate and conditions. Exposed coastal plots in Boddam or St Fergus need different thinking from sheltered inland gardens near Longside or Stuartfield. We have been working across all of these environments for decades. We design with the real conditions in mind, choosing plants and materials that perform well and require realistic levels of maintenance. The result is a garden that looks good year round and does not need constant attention to stay that way.
Full Project Management
Once the design is agreed, we manage every stage of the build ourselves. We do not pass work on to subcontractors. Our own team handles the groundworks, hard landscaping, turfing or seeding, and all the planting. That means one point of contact from start to finish and consistent quality throughout the project. We keep you informed at each stage and make sure the finished result matches what was agreed at the outset.
Built to Last
A well-built garden does not need to be redone every few years. We prepare bases properly, use good materials and plant at the right time of year. The gardens we designed and built ten or fifteen years ago across the Peterhead area are still looking well today. That is the standard we aim for on every job, regardless of size or budget.
ABOUT US
One of our longest-running design and build projects was on a property near Hatton, where the owners had bought a house with a large, completely featureless garden. We designed a layout that included a new patio area, raised planting beds, a lawn and a path to the back gate. It took the best part of a week and the owners said afterwards it was the best money they had spent on the house. That is the kind of result we are always working towards.
