A contemporary garden design featuring pleached trees, a bespoke water feature, beautifully detailed sandstone paths and patios and mixed perennial and shrub planting to compliment a new modern home extension.
After completing a large scale renovation of their home our clients’ garden had become a building site and they were longing for a garden again.
The design for the garden must be in keeping with their new contemporary extension yet also compliment the vernacular of their location, the traditional sandstone architecture of Edinburgh's south side.
Privacy from the surrounding tenement windows was also very important to our clients and we carefully positioned the pleached trees and the slatted fence to provide a barrier from surrounding houses.

A hedge of pleached hornbeam trees separates the ornamental garden from the vegetable garden. It is under-planted with a low, clipped Ceanothus hedge.
