Landscaping, Habitat Creation and Meadow Management
When planning landscaping projects we think ahead to ensure you'll get maximum future benefit for the least amount of work managing your garden. Nature doesn't work in straight lines and neither do we. Creating a diverse mosaic of interest and nature value, we work with the site's topography and location, selecting the most appropriate species and planting regime for the site.
Meadows are best managed by either grazing or mowing and removing the cuttings once or twice yearly. We are now able to offer a meadow management service for your existing meadows, and will cut and bale meadows as required.
Our talent for thought-provoking designs is displayed to the public each year at Gardening Scotland, where we have had a wildflower show garden every year since 2002. We have won a variety of awards, including Gold Medals, Best Show Garden, and Most Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Garden awards.
