Garden Retreat
This urban back garden has been transformed into a private retreat for our wonderful client, where she and her beloved dog can retire in peace and quiet in a tranquil and serene space. We were amazed at the transformation – it’s difficult to imagine the space before. We used gorgeous sandblasted Sovereign pink sandstone for…
Urban Woodland Garden
This unusual woodland garden is a little bit of magic hidden away in an urban setting. The slippery slopes of the garden are now navigated via a boardwalk which encircles the main planting area. A glade of woodland plants has been planted in a matrix style. The boardwalk leads to a deck which is positioned…
2021 Vision
I sat down to update my website today and didn’t know where to start. Last year for me went by in a flash, but like many others, it has left me with a somewhat empty, sober feeling. But I know this will pass soon and all the hard work we have done over the last…

Tales of the Riverbank

Dowanhill
This Glasgow west-end garden contrasts contemporary materials with a traditional setting and the result is complimentary. Offset vitrified planking leads around the exterior of the house to a small rear courtyard with seating areas and artificial turf. Grasses, shrubs and perennials chosen for their foliage make for a low-maintenance contemporary garden. Thanks to the team…
Little Sparta
I had an unexpected trip to this interesting garden in the Pentland Hills. Created by the poet Ian Finlay Hamilton in the Arcadian style, it it a fascinating piece of personal history and design. Love it or hate it, it is impossible to not feel the passion and delight that must have been integral to…
