Turning your garden idea into reality

Our comprehensive process provides a variety of services, including 2D & 3D drawings, planting plans, construction drawings, and the actual build itself. Our Design & Build service is perfect for those who have no idea where to start with their garden journey, for those who have some ideas but need help trying to put them together into cohesive design, or for those who had a plan but need professional assistance to help achieve their garden maximum potential.

Site visit & surveys

Our next step is to meet you on site and have a detailed discussion to understand your requirements for your project. Throughout the visit we will survey your garden taking all the needed measurements, our advanced topographic measurements, which will help us to create an accurate design of your garden.

Contract booking

After conducting a thorough surveys and understanding all the details and requirements about your garden project we will present you with a Design & Build package based on your budget considerations or a recommended budget from us. You will be provided with full detailed quotation. We will require 10% deposit upon agreement, and we will provide you with a list of available dates.

Garden design

Once we have booked you in a suitable date, we will start working on concept drawings and throughout the process we will regularly be in touch if any changes need to be made. Once we agree on the concept design the final design will be produced.

Planning & Contract drawings

Once the final design is completed, we will move towards the construction phase and we will create detailed construction drawings for the garden design, we also will develop a project schedule, and prepare the materials specification report. This will ensure that construction process runs smoothly & efficiently.

Pre-start site meeting

Prior to the start of your build, we will organise a site meeting. During this meeting we will review all the design together with the design team & construction manager to ensure that we have everything correct within the sizes, shapes, materials, and layout. We’ll provide all in depth analysis throughout the meeting about the full garden project.

Build

At the beginning of your garden project, the landscape team will be preset along with the team leader to ensure that we have a smooth start. They will maintain a regular communication throughout the build and keep you informed about the project daily.

Completion

Upon completion of the project, our Operations Director will arrange a meeting to run through everything on – site. After ensuring that you’re satisfied with the final product, and there’s no snags to be addressed, the project will be signed off.

TESTIMONIAL

What they say about us

Highly recommended - Amazing work once again by the team at Landscaping In Aberdeen! We couldn’t be happier with our garden, from the original design ideas, the flexibility shown as we changed plans, adding to the original scope and the quality of the workmanship. A great experience from start to finish. We have recently had the team back to add in another set of steps, and would not hesitate to contact them again should we need any other work done. Thank you!

Geraldine Inverurie, Scotland

David and his team have transformed our garden into the perfect outdoor space for us to enjoy with family for many years to come. Our garden started off with over 50% unusable space because of a downward sloping hill with severe drainage issues at the bottom. This is now a 100% usable space. The work the team put in despite the adverse weather conditions at times was first class. The project did take considerably longer than expected. Many of the challenges were completely outwith their control, however, David was good at keeping us updated throughout and the end result was certainly worth the wait!

David Porthlethen, Scotland

David and his team did a great job in transforming our garden. From spending a lot of time with us deciding on the best design, doing the heavy landscaping in horrible weather to competing the job to a high standard. The team worked extremely hard and David is very good at communicating throughout and sticking to their promises. Couldn’t fault them and looking for them to do more next year. 100% recommend using David and his team. Great connection with soft landscaping as well to finish off with planting design.

Andrew Aberdeen, Scotland

Highly recommend - from the outset very knowledgable and offered lots of options for our outdoor space. Excellent communication, very timely and once work agreed used formal contracts and kept to agreed timescale, very professional. When work underway David was there daily to ensure team knew exactly what was required and checked regularly. Team hardworking and pleasant guys to have at your home. Would definitely use again for future work.
