First of all, I asked around my more demanding and perfectionist friends for a recommendation for some tricky landscaping, and the only name that was proffered without condition was that of James Hutchison. From the first contact, to their final return to check all OK, was most efficient and courteous. Every date and time was meticulously adhered, and regular telephone calls (even in the late evening and weekends) kept us fully advised of progress. And the job came in on time and on budget.

We contacted James and Stuart early this year, to think about how we might redevelop the walled garden here in Kippen. Their ability to design well and suggest appropriate plants for the local conditions has been central to the great progress we have seen in the garden this year. We are looking forward to that progressing in the year to come More...

I went to the wreath making class and had a great night and met some lovely people. The instruction was excellent, and of course the prosecco went down well and the nibbles were wonderful. I was very proud of the wreath that I made and hope that there will be more flower arranging classes in the near future. Thanks. More...

Winter renovation gave spring garden.
We contacted James late 2015 to discuss a redesign of a small difficult sloping garden in Edinburgh.

James is a charming young man, he and his partner did a great job taming the garden and clearing it all away. I am looking forward to seeing them back in the Spring.

James designed and planted out our garden as part of the renovation of our house in two stages during 2014. He worked well with our builders who carried out the hard landscaping for him and was very accommodating of delays to our schedule (hence the work being done in two stages as we weren't ready for the front garden until the Autumn). The end result can probably best be described by the reaction of the gardener who now looks after our garden when he first saw it as "wow". More...
