Do I need planning permission for my landscaping project?

Most driveways, patios, and garden projects don't require planning permission in Scotland. However, permissions may be needed for front driveways over 5 square metres without proper drainage, properties in conservation areas, or listed buildings. We'll advise whether your specific project requires permission and help guide you through the application process if needed.

Light rain usually doesn't stop work, but heavy rain can affect certain stages like base laying and finishing. If weather causes delays, we'll communicate promptly and reschedule to ensure quality isn't compromised. Our experience in Scottish conditions means we know exactly when it's safe to proceed.

How do I maintain my new driveway or patio?

Can water features be left on in winter?

Most water features can run year-round in Scottish winters. Moving water rarely freezes completely.

What's the difference between solar and electric pumps?

Solar pumps work only in sunlight (intermittent flow), cost nothing to run, but have lower power. Electric pumps provide consistent flow 24/7, handle larger features, but cost £20-£100 annually.
