Edinburgh's Trusted Garden Design & Build Specialists
At Luxor Developments, we believe your garden should be as carefully designed and beautifully built as the interior of your home. For over 20 years, we've been transforming Edinburgh gardens — from compact city courtyards to sweeping country estates — into stunning outdoor spaces that genuinely improve how you live.
Every project begins with a free site consultation where we listen carefully to your vision, assess your garden's potential and discuss your budget honestly. We then develop a fully bespoke design — complete with 3D visualisations and detailed planting plans — before our skilled team brings it to life with quality craftsmanship and premium materials.

What Edinburgh Clients Say
“Luxor completely transformed our neglected Victorian garden into something we genuinely love. The 3D design process was brilliant — we could see exactly what we were getting before a single stone was laid. The finished result exceeded our expectations.”
“We had a tricky walled garden that we'd struggled with for years. The Luxor team came up with a design that made the most of every inch. The planting scheme is stunning and the natural stone patio is beautifully laid. Highly recommend.”
“From the initial consultation to the final handover, the whole process was professional and stress-free. The garden lighting they installed is spectacular — we use the garden every evening now. Worth every penny.”
“We wanted a low-maintenance garden that still looked beautiful. Luxor delivered exactly that — clever planting, quality materials and a design that works for our busy family. The raised vegetable beds were a lovely touch.”
“The team redesigned our entire rear garden including a new patio, water feature and complete replanting. The project was completed on time and on budget. The garden is now the best room in the house.”
“Luxor created a beautiful coastal-inspired garden that perfectly suits our seaside location. The planting scheme with grasses and lavender is gorgeous and the natural stone path is exactly what we wanted. Brilliant service.”
Garden Design FAQs
How much does garden design and build cost in Edinburgh?
Garden design and build costs in Edinburgh vary widely depending on garden size, scope and materials. A simple patio and planting scheme starts from around £5,000; a complete garden transformation with hard landscaping, planting, lighting and water features typically ranges from £15,000–£60,000+. We provide detailed fixed-price quotes after a free site consultation — call 07890 903645 to arrange.
How long does a garden design and build project take?
Timeline varies based on garden size and complexity. Design typically takes 2–4 weeks, and the build phase 4–10 weeks for an average Edinburgh garden. We provide a detailed programme at quotation stage so you can plan around the work.
Do you provide 3D visualisations of the design?
Yes — we create detailed 3D visualisations and planting plans so you can see exactly how your finished garden will look before construction begins. We refine the design until you are completely happy before any work starts.
Can you work with my existing garden features?
Absolutely. We can incorporate existing trees, mature shrubs, structures or features you want to keep into the new design, creating a cohesive overall scheme. Our team will survey your existing garden carefully and advise on what to retain and how to integrate it.
What hard landscaping materials do you use?
We work with a wide range of materials including natural stone (sandstone, limestone, slate), porcelain paving, clay pavers, timber decking, granite setts and gravel. Material choice depends on your property style, budget and maintenance preferences. We provide samples for your approval before ordering.
Do you handle planning permission for garden projects?
Most garden design and build projects in Edinburgh do not require planning permission. However, if your project involves significant changes to boundary walls, listed buildings or conservation areas, we will advise you on any permissions required and can assist with applications.
Do you offer a complete outdoor renovation service?
Yes — Luxor Developments provides a complete multi-trade service covering garden design and build, landscaping, decking, patio installation, garden lighting, drainage and outdoor kitchens. One contractor manages your entire outdoor project, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple tradespeople.
