How much does garden design cost in Barnton?

Do I need a garden designer in Barnton?

If you're investing £15,000 or more in your Barnton garden — or dealing with sloped sites, drainage issues, or planning a complete transformation — a designer pays for themselves several times over by avoiding costly rebuild errors. Maybury offers design and build under one roof from our Kirkliston base.

What is the best garden design style for Barnton homes?

The best style depends on your property age and lifestyle. Period and stone-built Barnton homes suit traditional or heritage planting schemes. Modern and new-build properties work well with contemporary porcelain, corten steel and architectural planting. We design to suit the property — not a fashion.

Do you design large mature gardens in Barnton in phases?

Yes — most substantial Barnton gardens are best delivered in 2–3 phases over 12–24 months. We design the whole garden as one coherent masterplan, then sequence construction (typically: hard landscaping and levels first, structural planting next, refinement planting and lighting last). This spreads cost and lets establishment planting mature into the design.

Can you restore a heritage garden without losing its original character?

Restoration is one of our specialisms in Barnton. Our heritage restoration project here used Indian sandstone paving laid in traditional patterns, oak sleeper raised beds and a hand-built timber pergola — all chosen to sit naturally against original garden walls and mature trees. We never strip a mature garden back to ground; we design contemporary additions that respect what already gives the garden value.

How do you protect mature trees during a Barnton garden redesign?

Mature trees define Barnton gardens and many are TPO-protected. Our designs always include a Root Protection Area survey, no-dig construction zones beneath canopies, hand-dug trenching where machinery would otherwise damage roots, and structural soil in any planting beds within the RPA. We coordinate any required tree works consent with the council before site work begins.

What does a Full Design + Build Pack cost for a typical Barnton garden?

For Barnton's larger plots the Full Design + Build Pack typically sits at the upper end of our £1,500–£3,500+VAT range, often £2,500–£3,500+VAT given the plot size, level changes, mature planting plans and detailed material schedules. Construction budgets typically range £35,000–£120,000+ depending on scope. The full design fee is credited back against the build.

Garden Design in Barnton

Barnton's mature gardens are some of the most rewarding to redesign in Edinburgh — substantial plots, established trees and high client expectations. Our recent Barnton heritage garden project (sandstone paving, oak sleeper planters, timber pergola) demonstrates our approach: respect what's already there, design contemporary additions that earn their place. Many Barnton gardens benefit from phased Full Design + Build Packs.
