Welcome to Lempsink Garden Design, Edinburgh based garden design and landscaping studio run by myself, Lisa Lempsink. I offer a comprehensive client service for Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and central Scotland working with a team of craftsmen to deliver what your project requires. I started Lempsink Garden Design back in 2008 with the aim of giving clients individual, finely-tuned, original designs which are practical yet stunning.
I take a friendly, professional, customer-focused approach to all my projects, ensuring that clients really do end up with gardens beyond their expectations. Whether you live in the countryside or the city, want a contemporary or traditional garden, a plantsman's paradise or a low maintenance haven, then you can be assured that I will help you achieve that.
Lisa is weaving her magic into my rather dull and green town garden. Her suggestions are sympathetic to the old stone walls and the layout of a New Town north-facing position, and she understands intuitively not only what to plant where, but equally what kind of garden would appeal to us as a family.

Services
I started my business after spending 18 years in industry and retraining, qualifying as a Garden Designer from the Scottish Agricultural College in Edinburgh back in 2008. My design studio is based in central Edinburgh which means I'm easily accessible to clients across the Lothians, Fife, Scottish Borders, Forth Valley, the central belt of Scotland and beyond if required.
Thanks very much for your interest. Due to unprecedented demand this year I have decided not to accept any more work at the moment. As soon as I have the capacity to take on more work, I will remove this message. I gave Lisa a very awkward brief 2 years ago and she achieved a beautiful garden which I still love and is a pleasure to be in.

Her workmanship is outstanding and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
I am looking forward to spring when the blossoms and flowers are beginning to emerge and will contact her in the near future for more exciting planting proposals.

I recently bought a small back garden that needed a rework, and I'm so glad to have found Lisa on the internet. After surveying the space and listening to my requirements, she came up with a plan which suited my needs (easy to handle and nice to look at). She contracted Raymond the gardener to remove all the weed from the long neglected garden, ordered the plants to be delivered, planted the flowers herself, and even taught me the proper ways to plant and take care of them!
What I appreciated the most, however, was that, after she created the plan, I suddenly remembered a plant I really wanted

We wanted our neglected back garden transformed into a modern contemporary space for relaxing and socialising. Lisa carefully listened to my long wish list and came up with a fabulous design exceeding our expectations. She arranged friendly contractors to do the landscaping and electrical work, all of which was carried out to a very high standard.
Lisa was a pleasure to deal with and it's obvious she loves her job. Very knowledgeable, professional and enthusiastic throughout, we would highly recommend Lisa.

Lisa designed a radical reworking of our front garden. This was a big design and Lisa spent a lot of time with us working out what we liked and didnt like and how to account for that in the final design. We found her very receptive and she listened carefully to our views
Dave (Dunn) contracted to do the work and both he and Lisa met with us before everything was finally agreed.
The design is very impressive and Dave and his team did a great job in creating it. Dave is a real pleasure to work with, delivers to a very high standard and is a gentleman as well.
We are very pleased with the final

Lisa designed a new front and back garden for us. With the front garden established since June 16 it is now blooming wonderfully; the diverse range of plants have added colour and height to the area. The contractors, that Lisa suggested and organised, were excellent, finishing on time and leaving a great job and a tidy site. Now the back garden will be done (hopefully!) in September to complete the set. We would highly recommend Lisa.

Lisa designed us a front garden. She did a fantastic job! She really listened to our expectation and concerned.We wanted a garden that would provide some privacy but wouldn't totally block the wonderful view we have in front of our place. I didn't think it would be possible, but Lisa managed to came out a great idea that made it just right! Moreover, She discuss about the budget openly which is very helpful for us. Lisa and her team work sufficiently. Her design is beautiful and practical. Our new garden looks pretty and unique. My son love stay in the garden and always refuses to leave.

We needed help to bring colour and soft planting to our drab front area - essentially a parking lot - and long boring driveway. Lisa was recommended by our neighbours who are keen gardeners themselves.
Lisa understood immediately what was required to soften and enliven the areas. She listened to our thoughts and ideas and wishes, and was able to translate all we hoped for into a wonderful design and comprehensive planting plan.She organised contractors and oversaw their work efficiently.
The hard landscaping was completed over the winter, and the planting took place at the end of April 2016.

Lisa designed us a wonderful front garden in spring/summer 2016. With her fabulous design and contacts for friendly and efficient contractors to carry out the landscaping work, the overgrown and badly designed front garden we inherited when we bought the house was transformed into a beautiful, classy and easy to maintain oasis! She listened careful to what we wanted and turned our dream into a realisation. Advice once the garden was complete was also excellent. Our neighbours are equally delighted! We have had many many compliments on how lovely the garden looks now and it has started a bit of

Lisa more than exceeded our expectations through every stage of the process of reworking our front garden and parking area and we are totally delighted with the result. The garden is now more streamlined and contemporary but still retains the traditional elements. She took on board everything we had asked for, made it reality, and added some great ideas (mirrored wall trellis, feature lighting) while retaining a lot of the original established planting. Would certainly recommend her.
