Creative Landscape Design covering East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian & Edinburgh
Hello, let me introduce myself - I am Gary lead garden designer and landscaper of Gary Ormiston Landscaping -
I live in the garden county of East Lothian and our company is now based centrally in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian. This gives myself, our admin staff and my teams ideal access to East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian & Edinburgh. We also base our design studio part of the time in Haddington.
Going back and after a successful career in my mid twenties working with what was then Standard Life in Edinburgh, I took the chance of a place at Oatridge College to study horticulture which was my main passion, hard to believe this was over twenty years ago!
Our company was also founded whilst I was at college, and at the time whilst enjoying the garden design modules in tandem with the main horticultural course, I made a commitment at this time which is still the mainstay of the business today, to deliver an exceptional landscape and garden design service for private clients - This is mainly that all our projects are handled in-house inclusive of both the garden design, excavations, groundworks, and the hard & soft landscaping build. We do not sub-contract and all of our employees work for our company all of whom have been with us between 8 - 17 years at this moment in time.
Over these years we have built up a small, tight knit supplier base - CED Stone, Thistle, Travis Perkins, London Stone, R & B Nurseries, Craigmarloch Nurseries, Forth Resource Management(FRM) & Hireline Plant Hire which compliments our exemplary service. This is in tandem with our ongoing relations with Marshalls Plc & their Marshalls register scheme in which we have been on the register for a number of years.
I hope that this has been an interesting read, I have tried to be brief but I am known for talking to much, so I will hand over to the remainder of my website and if you would like a chat or interested in our services please get in touch - I look forward to hearing from you.
What We Do
Myself & my team design gardens with passion, whether it be a modern contemporary space with stunning Italian porcelain paving and striking garden lighting, or a traditional Scottish country garden with a natural stone limestone patio and herbaceous planting.
We have a strong reputation in designing bespoke gardens that are unique to each of our clients. Our designs are conceived around our clients, their lifestyle and their home. Our design team consisting of Gary, Andreea & Helen are imaginative and creative with our garden designs. Both our three in-house landscaping teams will then work with you in building and to realise the true long term potential of your garden.
​We have designed and built hundreds of bespoke gardens in this time, ranging from contemporary spaces to classic country gardens of all shapes and sizes. Please visit our before / after, portfolio and video clips pages to view a diverse range of our work.
Our drawings and visuals are supplied either in CAD or hand drawn versions giving our clients the best of both worlds.
