Garden and Landscape Design
Based in Scotland
All designers rely on the skills of
landscape contractors to implement their ideas. A good contractor
is essential for reasons that should be apparent from the small
selection of building techniques illustrated below. In addition
to hard landscape, contractors are required to carry out a
variety of horticultural and arboricultural tasks. Often, several
contractors can be employed on one project, requiring the
designer to have a high degree of project management skills.
