Edinburgh Garden & Landscape Design
Based in Edinburgh, we work across Scotland and the UK, designing new landscapes and reshaping existing ones.
Many projects begin with possibilities — a blank space, an outdoor area that doesn’t quite work, or a sense that it could be something more. We love shaping that potential into landscapes that work for our clients and are rich in planting and biodiversity. We bring clarity to layout, materials, budget and long term maintenance — turning ideas into spaces that feel right and continue to evolve beautifully over time.
Design Mission
Our mission is to design places that are personal, purposeful and practical — shaped around the people who use them and the landscapes they belong to, across a range of scales and settings.
We genuinely care about creating better places — for people, for biodiversity, and for the wider environment. Through close collaboration with clients and thoughtful, creative design, we look to bring a strong technical understanding of landscape and ecology to every project, ensuring ideas are not only inspiring, but grounded and buildable.

Planting & Horticulture
A complete design service for private gardens and wider landscapes — from first conversations and site analysis through to detailed layouts and technical plans. We shape outdoor spaces around how you live and how the land works, bringing together planting, materials and budget into a clear, build-ready proposal.
Support across surveys, cost planning, planning applications and live project stages. We work closely with clients, contractors and developers to ensure design intent translates into the project build — aligned with scope, programme and budget.
Planting is at the heart of every landscape. We develop considered planting schemes that respond to site, climate and context — balancing beauty, biodiversity and long-term resilience. From design and sourcing to guidance on establishment and management, we focus on landscapes that grow richer over time
