This project spanned 2023 and 2024, beginning with the transformation of the rear garden. We replaced an old, slippery timber deck with stunning Millboard decking, creating a safe and stylish outdoor space. To complement the decking, we installed a Western Red Cedar fence, offering both wind protection and increased privacy. The result is a charming seating area, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine or a coffee under the Scottish sun.

In 2024, we turned our attention to the front garden. The brief was to design an attractive and functional space that allowed for easy pedestrian and vehicle access while incorporating ample planting areas. We crafted a gravel driveway with ECO-grids for stability, installed a sandstone path with setts, and used Steelscapes steel edging to create planting beds and a small retaining wall along the driveway.

Planting design for this project was led by Nick Burton, who also sourced the stunning Bonsai tree that serves as the garden’s focal point. While the plants have already started to mature, their full beauty will unfold in the years to come.
