Before installing, we complete all design and planning work: site survey, base concept, concept development, and final design and quotation. The design is delivered in partnership with Edinburgh’s best award-winning garden designers, matched to your project. Once finalised, we develop construction drawings, a project schedule and a material specification report so the build runs smoothly.
