Garden Design
Our bespoke garden design service transforms ideas into well-structured, enduring landscapes. We assess your brief and site conditions to produce imaginative yet practical solutions. From complete redesigns to focused planting or hard landscaping schemes, each project is developed with precision. Comprehensive visualisations and documentation allow you to proceed with certainty ahead of construction.
Patios & Paving
We specialise in constructing patios and pathways that integrate seamlessly with the wider garden design. Whether incorporating lawn areas, multi-level sections or defined walkways, we plan each element with care. Premium paving materials ensure resilience in changing weather conditions. Through skilled installation and close project management, we achieve a polished and enduring result.
Driveways
Every driveway we construct is shaped around considered planning and quality craftsmanship. We evaluate levels, access, and vehicle requirements before recommending materials that align with your budget and aesthetic preferences. Through clear design development and careful installation, we provide a finished surface that offers strength, stability, and a polished appearance.
Planting
Our planting design and installation service combines creativity with technical expertise. We design and implement borders, statement trees, hedging, climbers, and coordinated seasonal bedding displays. Plants are selected for their suitability to Scotlands climate and conditions. Comprehensive soil preparation forms an essential part of our process, supporting healthy and resilient growth.
Artificial Grass
In Glasgow and Central Scotland, we offer artificial grass installation tailored to achieve enduring green lawns year-round. This solution dispenses with mowing requirements and prevents muddy conditions or fading. We prioritise detailed sub-base construction, seamless joint finishing, and dependable drainage to deliver a refined and lasting result.
Walling and Steps
Retaining walls, decorative walling, and garden steps form a core part of our services. Working across Glasgow and Central Scotland, we build with natural stone, dry stone, brick, and block. Every retaining wall benefits from correctly prepared foundations and suitable drainage behind the structure. Our approach ensures dependable and enduring results.
Decking
We provide professional installation of composite and timber decking, tailored to complement outdoor environments. Multi-level deck designs allow for flexible and attractive space planning. To complete the finish, we offer built-in seating, glass balustrades, and integrated lighting solutions. Comprehensive structural support and effective drainage measures are included within our standard service.
Outdoor Living Spaces
We design gardens that combine serenity with striking visual appeal through the careful use of contrasting elements. The addition of a fire pit or water feature can dramatically revitalise your outdoor environment. Such features provide both ambience and distinction. Let us assist you in developing a bespoke garden tailored to your aspirations.
MacColl and Stokes completely transformed my rear garden in 2018. They listened to what I wanted and worked closely with me during the entire reconstruction process. The garden has now had time to mature and looks amazing. It is well admired by anyone who visits. I can highly recommend them
The team worked wonders on our garden. What used to feel overwhelming and overgrown is now a beautifully organised, easy-to-maintain space that we genuinely enjoy spending time in. The few tweaks we asked for to the original plan were taken on board without any fuss, and we were thrilled with the plant selections for the new borders. They were tidy, professional, and a pleasure to have around. Wed happily recommend them to anyone.
Very pleased with the work by MacColl & Stokes in our garden including new patio, restoration of some previous paving and a new lawn. The end of result is great, but what really stood out was the professionalism and hard work, flexibility to make some changes and addition to our plans, and willingness to address a couple of small issues at the end without question. Definitely recommend.
Very pleased with the excellent work done to make my complicated sloping garden easier to manage. Terracing and paving were done to a very high standard and I was most impressed by the hardworking and friendly workforce. The site was left very tidy, probably in better condition than it was before the work started. Very happy to recommend.
Awesome job!! I finally have a garden after 13 yrs I can use.
I did my due diligence on this company as I had been burnt by bad tradesmen in the past.
I have nothing but praise fur the job they have done.
Any minor issues sorted without fuss or hassle.
Hard working, competent and respectful employees.
They leave your garden clean every night. Turn up on time. Work really hard.
If my dear mum was still here I would let them work in her garden with zero concerns.
Highly recommend
We are very pleased with the building of a garden retaining wall which is 12 metres long by 1.8 metres high. It was built to reinforce the existing old wall which was beginner to lean over. We also had new stairs built to the lower garden area renewed and a wooden fence was reinstated above the new wall. It was a labour intensive project because there was no access for machinery. We were very happy with the final result and by all the workers involved who cleaned up the site very well and protected the garden and front drive where the materials were delivered. We have no hesitation in recommending MacColl & Stokes for groundworks. A good job well done. Many thanks.
