Spring and early summer are ideal for most landscaping projects. Ground is workable, plants establish well and you can enjoy your garden all summer. However, we work year-round — hard landscaping can be done in winter, and autumn is perfect for planting trees and shrubs.

Yes, we offer full design services from initial concepts to detailed plans. We'll discuss your requirements, assess your space, create design proposals and provide 3D visualizations for larger projects. Our design service ensures you get a garden that works perfectly for your needs.

Timelines vary by project size. A small patio or decking area takes 1-2 weeks. Medium garden makeovers take 2-4 weeks. Large complete transformations take 4-8 weeks. We'll provide accurate timelines during consultation and keep you updated throughout.

Edinburgh's cool, damp climate suits hardy perennials, shrubs and trees. We recommend species that tolerate wind, frost and variable rainfall. Native and near-native plants perform well. We'll suggest plants suited to your garden's specific conditions and your maintenance preferences.

Most garden projects don't need planning permission. However, large retaining walls, significant level changes or work in conservation areas may require approval. We'll advise on requirements and can handle applications if needed.

Absolutely. We specialize in terracing, retaining walls and drainage solutions. Sloping gardens offer great opportunities for interesting multi-level designs with steps, walls and varied planting.

Maintenance depends on your design choices. Low-maintenance gardens with hard landscaping, gravel and hardy plants need minimal care. Lawns and planted borders need regular attention. We'll design to your maintenance preferences and offer ongoing maintenance services if needed.

Yes, all our landscaping work comes with a 2-year workmanship guarantee. Plants come with a 12-month guarantee (subject to reasonable care). Materials have their own manufacturer warranties. We stand behind our work and will address any issues promptly.

Absolutely. We love working on small Edinburgh gardens and courtyards. Small spaces need clever design to maximize usability. We specialize in creating beautiful, functional gardens regardless of size — from tiny courtyards to large suburban plots.

We protect existing features you want to keep and work carefully to minimize disruption. Gardens will be messy during construction but we clean up daily and leave the site tidy. We'll discuss the process during consultation so you know what to expect.
