Gold & Best in Show
Edinburgh Garden & Landscape Design
Based in Edinburgh, we design gardens and landscapes, across Scotland and the UK, creating spaces for people that feel intuitive, practical and deeply connected to their setting. By understanding how you live and how a place functions ecologically, we shape landscapes that are both enjoyable day to day and resilient over time.
Design Mission
Our mission is to design gardens and landscapes that bring people and place closer together.
We create spaces to enjoy time with friends and family, grow food, cook outdoors, slow down at the end of the day and simply enjoy being outside. Landscapes filled with plants and life, designed to support biodiversity, feel good to spend time in, and deepen the connection between people and place as both grow and evolve over time.

Project Support & Delivery
Planting & Horticulture
Every project begins with conversation and time on site, understanding how you live and how the land naturally works.
From first ideas through to detailed drawings, we shape gardens and landscapes that feel grounded, practical and connected to their setting.
We stay involved beyond the design stage, supporting surveys, costs, planning applications and on-site delivery. By working closely with clients and contractors, we carry ideas carefully through into the build — keeping projects clear, realistic and well looked afte
Planting sits at the heart of our work. It brings movement, texture, colour and change through the seasons.
We design planting that supports biodiversity — creating habitats for pollinators, welcoming bees and butterflies, and shaping spaces that feel alive and deeply connected to our clients and the wider landscape, growing richer year after year.

What Our Customers Say
Jack has worked on several landscaping projects for us here in Dirleton over the last two years and is also currently providing us with weekly garden maintenance.
The projects have ranged from a large planting scheme up our driveway, a review, recommendations and planting in our formal walled garden and he is currently planning a lavender garden to the side of our house.
His planting plans are first class as are his consultations throughout the process. Jack is very personable, listens carefully to the brief, has great ideas and enthusiasm, delivers on time and flexes to our ever-evolving ideas!
We have been very happy with the end results on all projects and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
