I like to remain hands-on, as the best information about the new garden space always comes from working in it. You discover so much about its environment and how it interacts, from the smallest elements to the biggest! This all goes a long way towards informing and improving the initial design. With ongoing client discussions about works based on this evolving approach and awareness. Ideas about how best to implement the initial agreed design can develop along with it. A richer, better integrated garden is the result. You can speculate about likely scenarios, but until you start digging, you only know so much. We always stay true to the initial concept design, as you can see - concept designs completed.

From initial design ideas right through to the final construction touches, we consider the ecological benefits and impacts of what we do, and always seek to find the right balance. Involving our clients in an open and iterative process built upon trust, allows for the greatest success in achieving this. “Garden design with ecology in mind.” https://www.stonewoodwaterlight.co.uk/projects daily 0.75 2022-09-23 https://www.stonewoodwaterlight.co.uk/projects/project-four-kk6m5 monthly 0.5 2020-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582142706474-D845L91G8UUZIEDDCY1A/meggetland+before+pic+looking+towards+canal.jpg Projects - Meggetland, Edinburgh - Find the good in what’s already there The fully mature Acer palmatum did cast shade. But it’s also a beautiful specimen tree that would take to (knowledgeable) selective pruning well. So we saved it, and made a feature of it, lightened the canopy and building a large raised deck around it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582141987050-EEWQ5B7P9TY653SGU6FC/Multi+level+woodland+deck.JPG Projects - Meggetland, Edinburgh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582141910327-6AURHWHT3I23NLT6NQIB/multi+level+decks+Edinburgh.JPG Projects - Meggetland, Edinburgh Woodland decks leading from house to garden https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582139607812-GWTO494AJSCZ8ZAIGS5Q/woodland+decking+Edinburgh Projects - Meggetland, Edinburgh - It’s all about the setting. It wouldn’t be right for the Acer not to be there now. With its dappled shade, it makes venturing out the back door and down to the deck for a relaxing seat even better. Two options are available after the main deck, as two cobble paths lead different routes down towards the end of the garden and the canal, where a garden snug /teenage hangout is tucked away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582139702412-ROIFDZ17GW6V9ZL4ZLZO/Garden+snug+Edinburgh Projects - Meggetland, Edinburgh - Not all trees are saved Three large Leylandii trees were part felled as they cast a lot of shade and took up a lot of garden. Their trunks were saved though (to the confusion of the tree surgeon) and used to support a garden snug built around them, and tucked in behind some existing bamboo. A sunken firepit was constructed from re-used paving which had been removed to install the decking. The cut branches and timber from works has been stored in the snug to season for a year, making a useful habitat and decoration in the meantime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582139820430-E0LZZ1EITVZOYBYR1BAY/Raised+woodland+deck+and+granite+cobbles Projects - Meggetland, Edinburgh - Doing just enough The best designs are often the simplest. Weaving new construction into an existing garden space means finding that balance between achieving the changes that improve the space.

It was primarily used to get to the garage and garden gate, along with being a slightly precarious play area for their two young kids. They were an outdoor-loving family, and wanted to be outdoors far more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582050421057-LY4EWYGH83J2FV3DC2EP/Before+photo+glasgow+project+from+paved+area+towards+garage.jpg Projects - Jordanhill, Glasgow - Creating a journey We were approached to create a naturalised family space that the whole famiy could enjoy. We were chosen because of our ethos and track record in sustainable design and construction. The client was looking for a low environmental impact design and a wildlife-friendly space they could use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582051330983-8W16QT1N5KHRD4XDOW05/inside+out+again.jpg Projects - Jordanhill, Glasgow - Inside living outside The new extension connects to the garden using three mini patios planted with kitchen herbs. A lawn adds a soft landing to any shortcuts. Should a journey venture further than a coffee on the top ‘mini patio’ there is now a large outdoor patio terrace off the last ‘mini patio’ step. From here the main path continues on to the garage or splits off along a secret path to monkey bars and a play area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582052921766-IIL13Y7TL8XF7E2XZHNT/kids+playhouse+green+roof+alcatraz+style.jpg Projects - Jordanhill, Glasgow - Everything has a use The existing irises infused with couch grass, made for a great green roof on the Wendy House, aka ‘weeds Alcatraz’. https://www.stonewoodwaterlight.co.uk/projects/project-five-bnw6t monthly 0.5 2020-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582151117008-82FRVR0U7QXB0ROM2N8K/traditional+garden+Edinburgh.JPG Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh - New from old The client wanted to get rid of the greenhouse and the old shed and to have a lovely new cedar summerhouse in their place. The greenhouse and shed were recycled and the newly constructed summerhouse tucked neatly in beside a lovely mature Photinia, shaped to allow room for both. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582151233146-2IRRM0M4KRVO83Q3MPK8/contempory+traditional+garden+Edinburgh.JPG Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh - Creating shapes This design layout creates spaces for existing lawn and planting along with a new summerhouse, patio terrace, bike store, leaf mould bin and compost as well as a woodland patio area at the far end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582151454946-F8IHHKCIX8CRCVWAHAOC/sustainable+garden+construction+Edinburgh.jpg Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh - Find the balance Because everything had to go through this old Edinburgh terraced house, finding a balance within the design that mitigated this and its impacts was important. To help achieve this the same balance needed to be found between keeping the best of the original garden and creating the new garden. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582152163424-BX6V92MP1HBY4OTJXA07/DSC_1029.JPG Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582151934482-VCUVRR596DJL542HXKVK/DSC_1022.JPG Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582152261115-DSHVCTAY5QZSB0DHXSZ4/DSC_1780.JPG Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582151812333-FBZNR4GL7MUDOFPK6GYI/DSC_1024.JPG Projects - Strathearn Place, Edinburgh sustainable traditional garden Edinburgh https://www.stonewoodwaterlight.co.uk/projects/project-six-n6cmt monthly 0.5 2021-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582240471517-3X4RU9H5U4I90NRDH732/DSC_0446.JPG Projects - 'Granton by sea', Edinburgh - Edinburgh coastal views What was scrubland and a decidely ropey path access to the main road above, has become robust whinstone and granite steps, robust planting and gorgeous view points. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582240628424-Q2HO5AK8DPV6E9NQC10X/9+granton+rd+hill+before+pic.JPG Projects - 'Granton by sea', Edinburgh - A steep hillside garden This was a steep hillside plot that was fully overgrown with all kinds of thuggish plants.

Digging down during early works revealed ‘sedimentary’ layers of rubbish going down several feet. But in amongst all this was actually really good loamy soil. After discussions with the client, efforts to tame the hillside were sidelined. Instead we took the approach of working alongside the wildness, as a better and more realistic option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1613047952787-41UEAMGRXQL7HGU5RRNW/curving+hillside+steps.JPG Projects - 'Granton by sea', Edinburgh - Robust construction Good solid robust steps curved for interest and definition, were created as the main feature. Along the climb, a network of small patios offer an opportunity for a seat and view, as well as a ‘base camp’ to tackle the wild hillside from, over the years. A Mediterranean style of planting was chosen to complement the location, and because many of the plants would enjoy the steep tough coastal location. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582241144121-L67ALKWE77ZQLOGKMCST/granton+garden+with+its+summer+jacket.JPG Projects - 'Granton by sea', Edinburgh - ‘ Granton by the Sea’ Although a north facing Edinburgh coastal garden, the sun does shine very well on the good days. In winter, being at sea level, the temperatures doesn’t get as low as other parts of Edinburgh. So a mature fig tree and olive tree (rescued from another garden being demolished) are still thriving after three years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1582240882383-K7OJXFJVS7JS6HY3UDGV/Top+gate+and+mini+patio+.JPG Projects - 'Granton by sea', Edinburgh - Top of the garden Nearing the top of the garden is a small paved patio tucked into the wild hillside with amazing views out across the Firth of Forth.

The courtyard area around front gate and front door has been given structure with seating, raised beds and pots. It has been softened with the introduction of a variety of different planting at a variety of different heights, chosen to give a feeling of privacy and enclosure whilst also feeling open and inviting for new arrivals to the property. A mature planted beech hedge really adds to this and helps focus view from road through front gate to the front door, making orientation easier, a bench provides structure and shape as well as providing an option should the homeowner take a while to answer the door. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1612966111214-OS50DA5CACZM4MWCW01K/concrete+outdoor+kitchen+Edinburgh.jpg Projects - Merchiston courtyard kitchen, Edinburgh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1612965782495-8FH3SL9I6NWYE0X639RJ/sunny+courtyard+edinburgh+Merchiston.jpg Projects - Merchiston courtyard kitchen, Edinburgh. - Rustic Oak Pergola.

The stone terrace acts as the central transition point between garden and clients house lower down the hillside. It gives greater space for usng the studio as well as recreational space on the good days. From the terrace numerous rotes are available either up/down or around the garden, either by the main steps or the numerous little shortcuts and mini steps that have been introduced. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1612916129591-76CF2UCB8YPXO6OGJYR4/DSC_0497.jpg Projects - Arthurs Seat hillside garden, Edinburgh. - Access from above. Easier access through the garden was an important brief and in particular easier access from above, as it’s always easier going downhill. The view here from the top gate shows the broad and wide stone steps that transition down through what is a very steep section of the garden. A n option exists to take a moment and wander left towards a small viewing deck with tucked away views out across the Firth of Forth. the planting has elements of a green roof structure and planting, giving the steep and exposed aspects of the location https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e45ba2395a35014a0e25838/1612916510421-BW10WZ8P4LOKN8TR6UXF/DSC_1731.jpg Projects - Arthurs Seat hillside garden, Edinburgh. - An immediate sense of established. Part of the client brief was to continue the naturalised feel of the existing garden and settle the garden studio into it’s surroundings. Our ethos of re-using all existing materials and rebuilding the new garden space out of the old garden, goes a long way towards helping a garden establish quickly. Here the new naturalised garden on the northern slopes of Arthurs Seat in Edinburgh, has a very settled and established look as it it enters it enters Autumn in it’s first year.
