We are experienced working as part of a multi-disciplinary team with architects, engineers, and ecologists to create sustainable and biodiverse gardens and landscapes for domestic clients and commercial developments that: 

• Improve the biodiversity of the development
• Enhance the setting of the building(s)
• Meet planning conditions
• Assist in reducing the embodied carbon of the building project 
• Meet other sustainability aspects of the project, such as rain gardens & sustainable urban drainage
• Support the health and well-being of residents   

Using our holistic design process that aligns with RIBA stages 1 to 4, we create bespoke landscapes and gardens that meet the client’s needs and wants, work with the design vision of the building(s), and satisfy (and exceed) planning requirements. 

Working with private domestic or commercial clients, our professional services include: 

• Landscape planning (site lines, tree preservation, planning conditions)
• Masterplans and concepts
• Biodiversity Net Gain (this will become a legal requirement in Scotland in due course)
• Soil management plans
• Landscape carbon reports
• Innovative green and blue infrastructure plans
• Design details: construction details and specifications, CDM 2015 documents
• Biodiverse planting schemes, planting schedules
• Supply plants and plant them to the agreed planting scheme
• Building with Nature – Design using an holistic landscape approach to creating nature-rich landscapes design. Rachel is a qualified BwN Assessor – find out more about Building with Nature Principles and certification.
• Connecting you with trusted landscape contractors to bring the vision to life

We are a small award-winning landscape and garden design studio based in the west of Scotland and accredited with the Society of Garden and Landscape Designers.

Rachel established the practice because she believes that gardens and landscapes, when designed, built, and managed with sustainable ecological principles and care, can offer a haven for people and wildlife and help restore our natural world.

Committed to this vision, our small, professional and friendly team has created everything from small courtyard gardens to large expansive landscapes thriving off a collaborative approach with like-minded clients, professionals and multi-disciplinary teams. We have enjoyed working with a diverse range of clients, including private homeowners, community groups, and commercial businesses.

As a team, we continue to grow our knowledge through professional development, adding new perspectives and creative ecological solutions.

We are fully insured for public liability and professional indemnity and are registered with the Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture (SASA) for plant passports, as required by law.
