Semple Begg Garden Design

At Semple Begg, we are a landscape and garden design practice with studios in Scotland and Switzerland. We are recognised for creating imaginative and sustainable spaces that are in harmony with the natural and built environment. Our goal is to design gardens and landscapes that enhance lives, changing the way we engage with outdoor spaces.

Our approach to design is both artistic and pragmatic. We listen carefully to our clients' wishes and personal style, as well as considering the space itself and the wider natural landscape. Our aim is to have a light, deft touch and we believe that gardens and landscapes are by their very nature dynamic. Therefore, we seek to create spaces that you can enjoy from the outset and maintained in the long term.

We offer a seamless service in all aspects of landscape and garden design for domestic, commercial and public sector projects. This includes consultation and initial stage, concept design and masterplan, planting design and tendering, and construction.
