Milngavie Garden

A private garden retreat in Milngavie, north of Glasgow, thoughtfully crafted in 2020 with uncompromising quality at its heart. This space is defined by refined detailing, premium materials, and a calm, layered planting scheme designed to mature beautifully over time.

At the centre sits a truly bespoke feature: a handcrafted bench, carefully coped and fixed with stainless steel, topped with a Scottish oak arbor. It is a place to pause, framed by soft grasses, elegant maples, hybrid Azaleas, delicate amelanchiers, and silver birch stretching into the distance, creating depth, movement, and seasonal interest.

The planting tells its own story. Select plants have been carefully removed and others reintroduced, while others were added to enhance structure and flow. One standout feature is the cloud pruned Ilex chosen personally by the client, now flourishing after four to five years, beautifully framed by silver birch and wrapped in classic box hedging.

Every detail has been considered. From the S3i railings with stainless steel wire protecting the basement level, to Scottish oak posts, a Scottish slate roof, and Kithnest stone walls that anchor the garden in its surroundings. The result is a space where craftsmanship and materials work in quiet harmony.

This project reflects what happens when clients trust the process and insist on the highest standards. Quality, precision, and attention to detail that truly stands the test of time.

We love to re visit gardens year on year and they only get better with age.
