Edinburgh's Premier Family Neighbourhood
Merchiston is one of Edinburgh's most desirable family neighbourhoods, centred around the historic Merchiston Tower (now part of Edinburgh Napier University). Streets like Merchiston Crescent, Napier Road, andPolwarth Terrace are lined with imposing Victorian stone villas, with property values typically ranging from £700,000 to £1.2 million.
What makes Merchiston gardens distinctive is their proportions—generous rear plots of 15-25 metres provide genuine scope for ambitious garden design, while the Victorian architecture demands materials and styling that respect the neighbourhood's heritage character. Many properties feature original stone boundary walls and mature trees that need to be worked with, not against.
We've completed 17+ projects across Merchiston, from complete rear garden transformations on Merchiston Crescent to patio and pergola installations along Colinton Road. Our approach balances period sensitivity with modern outdoor living—creating spaces for entertaining, family play, and relaxation.
