Working across Perthshire
Perthshire covers everything from town gardens in Perth itself to large rural and estate properties around Blairgowrie, Crieff, Auchterarder and the surrounding villages. It is the most heavily wooded part of our patch, and a good share of the work is mature tree management: specimen conifers, beech avenues, riverside trees and long-established shelter planting that needs careful, properly rigged attention rather than a quick cut.
Perthshire is known for its trees, and many gardens here contain genuinely large mature specimens — Douglas fir, Scots pine, beech, lime and cedar — that were planted as part of Victorian estate landscaping. Sheltered valley sites grow fast and dense, while higher ground around Crieff and the Highland edge is colder and wetter, with a shorter growing season that affects turfing timings and lawn establishment.
Tree Preservation Orders are widespread in Perthshire, and Perth, Crieff and Auchterarder all have conservation areas where notification is required before work. We handle those checks with Perth and Kinross Council as part of quoting. Larger estate properties often involve access over grass or gravel, so we plan machinery routes to avoid rutting and leave ground as we found it.

On the ground in Perthshire
A snapshot of the kind of work we are asked to do most often in this part of Scotland.
Scone · Hedge Maintenance & Fencing
A mixed hawthorn and conifer hedge along a front garden had grown well past the boundary and was hiding a failing fence behind it. We cut the hedge back hard and squared it off, then installed a new stained close-board fence along the line — the frontage went from straggly to sharp in two days.
Blairgowrie · Tree Surgery
A mature Scots pine was shedding cones and small limbs over a gravel drive and had several dead branches in the upper crown. We climbed and rigged out the deadwood, lightly reduced the side overhanging the drive, and left the tree balanced and healthy — with the gravel raked back level and not a rut in the lawn.
Perth · Landscaping & Turfing
A new-build back garden sloped awkwardly towards the house and held standing water after rain. We regraded the levels, improved the drainage through the topsoil, added a neat gravel border along the fence line and laid fresh turf wall to wall — a flat, usable lawn where there had been a boggy slope.

What customers say
“Lee and team did a garden clearance for me after moving into a property with a pretty neglected garden, including a pretty hefty ivy growth on the back of the house. They did an absolutely cracking job of clearing all the growth, the ivy, some unexpected branch piles and taking away all the rubbish. Did in a day what would have taken me many days to do myself. Also got some great advice on the next steps of bringing the garden back to life.”
“Had Lee and team lay a patio and path. Work was done in a good manner and to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy and nothing was too much hassle. Thanks Mr McDonald.”
“I can’t recommend this landscaping business enough! They turned our overgrown garden into exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything tidy when they finished. Great value for money and really friendly service – will definitely be using them again.”
