How do I find a good garden designer near me?

Look for a local designer who can show real built projects (not just drawings), has verified reviews, and ideally builds as well as designs. Maybury Landscaping is based in Kirkliston and designs and builds gardens across Edinburgh and Central Scotland, with 60+ five-star reviews and a portfolio of completed transformations.

Which areas do your garden designers cover?

We cover Edinburgh and all surrounding areas — Corstorphine, Cramond, Barnton, Murrayfield, South Queensferry and Edinburgh West — plus East and West Lothian, Fife, Falkirk, Stirling and Central Scotland. If you're within about an hour of Kirkliston, we can design and build your garden.

Do local garden designers cost more than national companies?

No — local usually means better value. A nearby designer spends less on travel, can visit your site quickly, and understands local conditions and planning. Our garden design starts at £195 + VAT for a consultation, credited against your installation if you proceed with the build.

How much does garden design cost in Edinburgh?

Garden design in Edinburgh starts at £195+VAT for a Design Consultation, £495–£950+VAT for a Concept Garden Design, and £1,500–£3,500+VAT for a Full Design + Build Pack with scaled drawings, drainage, levels and lighting layouts. If you proceed with installation, your design fee is credited against the build.

Is garden design worth the investment?

Yes. A properly designed garden avoids the most expensive mistakes — wrong levels, poor drainage, unworkable layouts and material clashes. Clients typically save 3–5x the design fee in avoided rework and add measurable property value. We design gardens that can actually be built to British Standards.

Do I need a garden designer or just a landscaper?

If you want a simple repair or like-for-like replacement, a landscaper is fine. If you're investing £15,000+ in your outdoor space, redesigning after an extension, or struggling with drainage, levels or layout, you need a designer first. Maybury offers both — design and build under one roof.

Can I deduct the design fee from my installation?

Yes. If you proceed with Maybury Landscaping for the build, we credit a portion of your design fee against the final installation cost. This is confirmed in writing at the design stage so there are no surprises.
