Garden design in Beauly & the Highlands.

A comfortable place to sit. Space for the children. Borders you can look after. A good garden plan starts with what matters to you.

We design gardens around Beauly, Inverness and the surrounding Highlands, working with the particular light, ground and exposure of each site.

A design that starts
with the site.

We take time to understand what is already there. A sheltered corner may be the right place for a seat; a wet area needs investigation before it becomes a new lawn.

The aim is a coherent garden with a layout, material palette and level of maintenance that make sense together.

How you use the garden

Seating, play, growing, pets, storage and the everyday routes between your house and garden.

Light and exposure

Sunny and shaded areas, exposed edges and the shelter provided by buildings, boundaries and existing planting.

Ground and levels

Access, slopes, visible drainage issues and areas where further ground investigation may be needed.

Budget and upkeep

Where to spend, what to keep, what can happen in phases and how much care you want to take on.

A clear plan before
the build begins.

A garden plan from £650 sets out the agreed layout, proposed materials and planting direction. We explain the design in plain language so you can picture how it will work.

  • A layout based on your brief and site
  • Materials and planting direction
  • Priorities and options for a phased build
  • An agreed scope for the next stage

Detailed construction information and specialist surveys depend on the project and are agreed separately where needed.

How we build your garden

Garden design questions.

Do I need a full garden redesign?

Often, a change to one part of the garden is enough. We can discuss a new seating area, an awkward border or a better route through the space as well as a complete redesign.

Can the work be built in stages?

Yes. A joined-up plan helps identify what should happen first, especially drainage, access and changes in level. We can then discuss sensible phases around your budget.

Can you keep existing plants and materials?

We look at what is healthy, useful and worth retaining. Keeping established planting or reusing suitable materials can preserve the character of the garden, subject to condition and practicality.
