Case Study: Transforming Kerry and Mark’s Garden into a Family Oasis
Project Overview
Elevate Your Home with Pearson Landscapes
Kerry and Mark, a Central Scotland couple with two young children, wanted a garden that worked for their family. Their 400-square-meter backyard sloped heavily away from the house and to one side, making it unusable for play or entertaining. Their goals were clear: create a safe, flat space for the kids and a large patio for hosting friends, all while maintaining a high-end aesthetic.
Challenges
The steep, uneven terrain posed a significant hurdle. Leveling the garden while preserving as much fence height as possible required careful planning. Moving 100 tonnes of muck out and 60 tonnes of material in was a logistical feat, complicated by unstable ground that challenged our dumper’s stability. The sheer scale—over 400 square meters—demanded precision to ensure a durable, visually stunning result.
Our Solutions
Pearson Landscapes Ltd approached the project with our signature family-run care, delivering a bespoke solution tailored to Kerry and Mark’s vision:
- Strategic Levelling: We used CAD designs to map a levelled layout, maximising fence height while creating a safe, usable space.
- Premium Materials:
Installed 100 square meters of ivory cream porcelain slabs with kandla grey porcelain edging, adding mitred cuts for a refined step finish. The edging was so striking, we extended it to both steps for a cohesive, high-end look.
- Efficient Execution: Despite the four-week timeline (due to the project’s size), we maintained daily cleanups and twice-daily check-ins to keep Kerry and Mark informed and stress-free.
- Built to Last: Our work, backed by a 10-year guarantee, ensures the garden withstands Scotland’s climate for years of family fun

Results
Kerry and Mark were thrilled with their transformed garden—a flat, safe play area for their kids and a spacious, elegant patio perfect for entertaining. The kandla grey edging and mitred steps delivered the premium aesthetic they craved, elevating their home’s appeal. Their satisfaction led to further work on their front yard, a testament to our trusted partnership.
