Do you provide 3D visualisations of the garden design for Gilmerton properties?

This includes material samples, plant selections and lighting proposals. We refine the design until you are completely happy before any work starts.
Can you work with my existing garden features in Gilmerton?
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 Gilmerton garden design team will survey your existing garden carefully and advise on what to retain, what to remove and how to integrate existing elements into the new design.

We work with a wide range of materials for Gilmerton garden projects including natural stone (sandstone, limestone, slate), porcelain paving, clay pavers, timber decking, granite setts and gravel.
