Planting & Horticulture

One-off planting work.

Sometimes a garden doesn’t need a rebuild, it needs the right plants in the right places, planted in the right week to really make your garden a sanctuary.

We take on one-off commissions across Edinburgh, working alongside garden designers in Edinburgh, The Lothians and the Borders, from a single specimen tree to a full perennial scheme. Existing hardscape stays, the planting gets the attention it deserves.

Looking for ongoing maintenance instead? That’s our sister brand, Armstrong Garden Care .

What we do

Five planting services, end to end.

Each is offered as a standalone commission, quoted from a site visit, delivered by our own team in partnership with qualified arborists where needed.

01 / 05

Planting schemes

Layered mixed-perennial schemes designed around your site and aspect, four-season interest with structure that holds through a Scottish winter.

02 / 05

Hedging

Native and ornamental hedging: beech, hornbeam, yew, mixed natives. Supplied as bare-root in season or as instant root-ball hedging for immediate effect.

03 / 05

Specimen trees

Mature multi-stem and standard trees sourced, lifted and craned in: birch, amelanchier, magnolia, cloud-pruned topiary. Foundations and watering rings included.

04 / 05

Seasonal borders

Replanting tired borders, redesigning beds, planting bulbs in autumn for spring colour. Soft landscaping that lifts an existing garden without a full rebuild.

05 / 05

Tree surgery

Crown reduction, dead-wooding, formative pruning, removals. Carried out to BS 3998 by qualified arborists working alongside our own team.
