Working Crieff plots, week in, week out.
Coverage across PH7
Crieff is home. Our yard, tools and truck are here at Templemill Farm Cottage, and we cover every part of PH7 — the town centre terraces, the sloping gardens climbing up towards the Knock, the rural houses out toward Muthill, Fowlis Wester, Gilmerton and Monzie. Because we're already in town, small jobs are viable that wouldn't be worth an outside firm's fuel.
Response times to Crieff
Most PH7 site visits happen within a day or two. For a Crieff emergency — a fallen limb, a fence gone in a Strathearn gale — we can usually get someone round the same working day (Mon–Sun, 8am–6pm). Small tasks like a single tree crown-lift or a broken gate get slotted in between larger projects.
Familiarity with Crieff property types
Crieff gardens have their own personality. Steep back-plots sloping down from the Knock. Long, narrow strips behind the High Street terraces. Sizeable rural gardens on the way to Muthill and Comrie with mature Douglas fir and Scots pine that were planted as estate trees a hundred years ago. We work on all of them constantly — the ground, the aspect, and what grows where isn't a mystery to us.

Actually based here
Not a Perth or Stirling firm 'covering Crieff' — we live and work in PH7. Turnaround on quotes and small callouts is short because we're already local.
Andrew answers the phone
You speak to the person who will price the job and lead the crew. No estimators, no salespeople, no upsell.
Free site visit, fixed price
Every quote is site-visited. You get a written price, no deposit, and the price we quote is the price you pay when we finish.
Workmanship guaranteed
Our lawn installations are guaranteed if aftercare is followed, and fencing / landscaping workmanship is backed after handover — real recourse if something isn't right.
Crieff plots we work on.
High Street & Comrie Road terraces
Long, narrow rear gardens with rear-only access through shared closes or side gates. Common jobs: boundary hedge maintenance, small tree removal, tidy-up landscaping, gravel paths through the length of the garden.
Knock-side sloping plots
Gardens climbing north up the hill towards the Knock — terraced or in need of terracing. Drainage, retaining boundaries and slope planting are the recurring themes.
Bungalow estates (Broich Road, Ochil View)
Standard-size front and rear gardens, panelled fencing that needs replacing every decade, mature specimen trees at end-of-life. Straightforward jobs done properly.
Rural PH7 (Muthill, Fowlis Wester, Gilmerton, Monzie)
Bigger plots, mature shelter belts, farm-boundary fencing, gravel driveways of real length. This is where the larger tree work and full landscaping projects come from.
What comes up in Crieff.
Strathearn valley wind
The valley funnels weather up from the west. Panel fences on exposed boundaries get destroyed regularly — close-board with concrete posts is our default replacement, not another panelled run.
Aging Douglas fir & Scots pine
Many rural PH7 gardens carry estate-planted conifers now 80–100 years old. Wind-throw risk rises sharply after that age; we survey and reduce or fell before the storm chooses for you.
Slope drainage on Knock-side gardens
Water sheeting down clay slopes takes lawn and topsoil with it. Terracing, French drains, and proper subsoil prep make lawns and paths actually last.
Overgrown beech & privet
Boundary hedges left three seasons too long become 12ft screens with bare inner faces. Hard reduction and reshape gets them back to a managed 5–6ft — done in the right season.
Rear-access-only jobs
PH7 High Street plots almost always mean rear access through a close. Small chippers, cordless kit and disciplined ground work matter — dragging debris through the house is not acceptable.
Same five steps, every Crieff job.
