We used Kirsty for an initial design consultation at our new house, to help us plan what to do with a large area of garden that had become completely overgrown and was a strange layout. The consultation was absolutely invaluable, Kirsty’s expertise and depth of knowledge really helped us visualise and plan out the space in ways that we never would have imagined without professional help. I could not recommend more highly.

Kirsty was excellent throughout the design and execution process, a real joy to work with.

The scope was to integrate a new build into an existing plot with a great garden layout. The new area had to be sympathetic with, and the design of the new build. Not an easy task but it has been achieved with aplomb.

The whole experience of working with Kirsty was brilliant. It was very collaborative with lots of listening and challenge. Just what you need when you know what you want but don't really.

Kirsty helped with contractor selection and supervision. She was always at hand when needed. She also provided a fully costed planting schedule and helped with the sourcing of the plants.

Thank you from a very happy customer.

Kirsty was able to take my design brief (which was minimum in both desired design outcome and detail) and create exactly what I wanted.

The design had to mirror the house which combines Edwardian simplicity with a modern extension. She was firstly able to show me her designs in both 2-D and 3-D so I could visualise the finished product and therefore make amendments before we broke ground.

Along with the creativity of the hard landscaping, Kirsty ran the landscape contractor selection and then worked with them to ensure a smooth implementation.

Next came the planting design which used some of the existing plants and flowers combined with over 800 additional plants. Kirsty come up with a series of themed beds ranging from “Alpine” to “Hot”. And she threw in a garden lighting design whilst she was at it!

Finally, Kirsty was there to supervise all of the layout and planting.

Overall, I’ve been really impressed by Kirsty’s ability to understand my vague brief and create something that spectacularly combines old and new styles with a wide array of textures and colours. Kirsty is a delight to work with and I would definitely recommend her services.

Kirsty has done several projects for us over the years. She sourced and arranged the plants and shrubs beautifully. They were then planted by her colleague Tom, who has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to gardens,
Kirsty always responds quickly and delivers goods when she says she will.
We would highly recommend Kirsty and team to anyone, regardless of project size.
We look forward to the next project

Kirsty at The Garden Design Company had great ideas for my garden. She knew how to turn the ideas into reality, talking them through with me every step of the way. Her network of good contractors enabled it all to be delivered on schedule and within budget.

I asked the Garden Design Co. to advise upon and plan the location for a new bespoke greenhouse and surrounding flower beds.
It was a difficult site on a fairly steep slope and the subsequent design by Kirsty Mclean, the execution by her contractor, Landform Ltd., and the end result were absolutely excellent, perfectly fitted the location and totally met my aspirations.
I found working with Kirsty extremely rewarding. She is creative, knowledgeable and professional and I am able to recommend her work to anyone looking for a new garden to be created.

I first contacted Kirsty after 5 years of pondering what on earth to do with my tired courtyard garden in West End of Aberdeen. It is a small space & I was well aware it was easy to get any design very wrong given the dimensions of the garden
Kirsty visited and immediately captured my thoughts and turned it into a clear & concise plan and added much more of her own expertise and within no time at all we had a design that was inspiring. Which I certainly could never have achieved!
She then produced a work specification and working closely with Landform, presented me with a fully costed scope of work.
Worked started on time and was completed on time and the standard of work was exceptional with Kirsty overseeing for progress on a regular basis. She also designed and organised the planting.
In summary, I am thrilled with the end result and would not hesitate in recommending her services or that of Landform. In fact so much so I moved on seamlessly to transforming my front garden as well!
