Garden Design

Craig Holland

Craig is very much a lover of outdoor spaces and has been so since a very young age.

He attended Strathclyde University to further his passion of garden design and got a degree in Landscape Management and Horticulture.

His designs are very much of the “Contemporary” vibe with cutting edge ideas and sharp clean lines. The more Simple but Modern look.

David Gemmel

David came to Briarlea from an installation background having been a Landscape installer himself since leaving school and was also an installer for Briarlea for a long period of time.

David decided to pursue his love for landscaping and has now been designing for Briarlea for the last 8 years.

David likes to give our customers designs which compliment the quality and character of your space and budget requirements and can design pretty much anything that is asked of him.

Andrew Cummings

Andrew is the director of Briarlea and has a number of landscape credentials in his bag. He set the business up 20 plus years ago as a young boy who had a love for plants and design. From a one man van, Andrew has built up the brand that you love and know as Briarlea through sheer hardwork and attention to detail that makes Briarlea the leading Domestic Landscape Business there is on the market today.

Andrew prides himself in his designs and would be best to say he is more the “Traditional” designer. He prefers to simplify designs which in turn are sympathetic to their surroundings.

Selecting a Landscape Design Company

Factors to Consider	Pros	Cons
Experience and Reputation	Proven track record ensures reliable results. Experienced companies can handle complex designs. Reputation reflects consistent quality and customer satisfaction.	Highly reputed firms may charge premium rates. Newer companies might not have established portfolios.
Range of Services Offered	Comprehensive services simplify the project process. Design-build firms handle everything from concept to installation. Specialists in specific areas (e.g., paving, planting) bring expertise.	Generalists may lack expertise in niche areas. Limited service options may require hiring multiple contractors.
Portfolio and Past Projects	Viewing past projects helps visualize their style and quality. Offers insights into creativity and attention to detail. Positive testimonials reinforce trustworthiness.	Outdated portfolios may not reflect current trends or skills. Some companies may showcase stock images instead of genuine work.
Pricing and Transparency	Clear pricing helps with budgeting. Transparent estimates build trust. Competitive rates can offer better value.	Low-cost quotes may indicate compromised quality. Hidden fees or unclear contracts can lead to disputes.
Customer Support and Communication	Good communication ensures your vision is understood. Responsive support addresses concerns promptly. Clear timelines and updates improve project management.	Poor communication can result in delays or errors. Lack of updates may cause frustration.
Availability and Scheduling	Flexible scheduling accommodates your needs. Companies with availability can start projects sooner.	Busy firms may have long wait times. Rushed timelines can compromise quality.

Wendy Mcallister

Lovely job. The guys were here early every day, worked very hard in all weathers and remained polite and lighthearted throughout the job. Patio looks great, they were careful with the smallest detail and finished the job beautifully. Constantly cleaning up behind them.

Would just like to say thank you from my wife and I for all the hard work Briarlea has done for us. From our wonderful rear garden that Craig and his team completed to the fantastic job Brian and his team did on our driveway. Thank you so much.
