Gardens & Projects is a garden design studio based in Musselburgh, working with homeowners across Edinburgh and East Lothian to develop clear, well-structured outdoor spaces. Our work focuses on the design stage, helping you define your garden before any landscaping begins.
Gardens & Projects works across a range of locations throughout East Lothian. Each project is developed in response to its setting, whether that is a compact urban garden or a larger residential space.
Below are the main areas where we deliver garden design services.
We work across Edinburgh, designing gardens for a variety of properties, including traditional tenements, terraced homes, and modern developments. Each design responds to the surrounding architecture and how the outdoor space connects to the home.
As a studio based in Musselburgh, we regularly work with local homeowners on both new-build gardens and the redesign of existing outdoor spaces. This includes developing clear layouts and planting schemes suited to the property.
Garden design in Portobello often involves making efficient use of space while maintaining a strong connection between the house and garden. Layout and material selection are carefully considered to create functional outdoor areas.
Leith gardens can vary in size and layout, from smaller courtyards to larger private spaces. Designs are developed to ensure that circulation, seating areas, and planting are clearly defined.
In Stockbridge, many gardens are influenced by surrounding period properties. Design decisions focus on creating structure and balance while improving how the space is used.
Morningside properties often allow for more defined garden zones. Designs typically include areas for seating, dining, and planting, arranged in a clear and practical layout.
Coastal conditions in North Berwick influence both material choices and planting design. Gardens are developed to respond to exposure and the surrounding landscape.
In Haddington, gardens often allow for a combination of functional outdoor spaces and planting areas. Designs focus on creating a structured layout that supports everyday use.
