Border refreshes
Keep what is working, lift what no longer suits and introduce plants that give the border a clearer structure and room to develop.
Planting for your
Highland garden.
Beautiful borders start with understanding the place they are growing in.
Callum plans and plants around the light, shelter, soil and time you have for care. From refreshing a tired bed to planting a newly built garden, the aim is a scheme that makes sense for your site.
Talk through your planting
The right plants
for the actual conditions.
An exposed boundary and a sheltered courtyard can ask very different things of a plant, even in the same garden.
We assess each site before recommending a planting palette. Exposure, drainage, light, available space and the condition of the soil all influence the choice.
New planting schemes
Bring newly built gardens together with planting planned around the layout, views from the house and the level of care you want.
Hedges and screening
Consider the purpose, mature size, site conditions and maintenance before choosing planting for privacy or shelter.
Seasonal interest
Balance flowers with foliage, stems and evergreen structure, using plants suited to the site rather than one universal list.
Soil preparation
and planting care.
We prepare the agreed beds, consider spacing at maturity and plant with establishment in mind. That can mean improving the soil and using an appropriate mulch, depending on what the site needs.
After planting, we explain watering, seasonal care and what to keep an eye on. A new border needs attention while it establishes, even when rain is a familiar visitor.

Can you make a garden easier to look after?
We can design around a lower level of maintenance, with sensible spacing and plants suited to the site. Every garden still needs some care, especially while new planting establishes.
Do you use the same plants in every garden?
No. A plant that thrives in a sheltered, free-draining spot may struggle in a wet or exposed one. We choose a palette after understanding your particular conditions and preferences.
When is the best time to plant?
It depends on the plants, how they are supplied and the condition of the ground. We plan around the appropriate season and avoid working unsuitable waterlogged or frozen ground.
