Livingreen Design

What Livingreen Design does

Livingreen Design is a UK-based specialist manufacturer of professional-grade fibreglass (GRP) landscape products, operating from a workshop in Loanhead near Edinburgh, Scotland. The company fabricates planters, water features, furniture, preserved moss walls, artificial plants and trees, and acoustic garden screens, all handmade to order in-house using an advanced composite construction process with thickness scaled to product size (approximately 3mm for small planters, 5mm medium, 8mm large). Its product catalogue spans more than 30 distinct planter ranges and sub-lines (Cityscape/Divona/Skyline, Spirit/Kubik, Avant-Garde/Ben/Bill/Blob, Garden Classics/Kensington, Ceramic Style/Julius), water bowls and tables in multiple shapes, and modular furniture systems, with over 40 biophilic finishes including real stone aggregate, Corten steel, Verdigris, and full RAL colour matching backed by a five-year warranty. Bespoke design is handled by an in-house CAD team capable of producing custom sizes, shapes, and finishes to client specification.

The business serves two parallel customer bases: (1) B2B trade customers including landscape architects, garden designers, property developers, and commercial companies (e.g., Bristol Airport, King's College Hospital, Chelsea FC), accessed via a separate trade account programme with invoiced pricing, and (2) B2C retail customers (private individuals) purchasing via the company's direct e-commerce website, which supports unit pricing with finish upgrade tiers. Distribution is omnichannel: e-commerce storefront, an appointment-only Edinburgh showroom (minimum projected spend £500), and active exhibition presence at 5+ UK garden and RHS shows in 2026. A complementary partnership with Equigrow supplies PAS100 peat-free compost as an add-on, bundling a complete planting solution.

Revenue mechanics are based on one-time product sales rather than recurring contracts, with prices ranging from approximately £45 (small planters ex VAT) to over £3,400 (large water tables ex VAT) and bespoke projects priced by quotation. Lead times run 4 weeks in quiet season and 6 weeks in busy season, and the company claims a 10+ year product lifespan. The company is privately held, appears to be founder/owner-operated (Karen Sawyer is identified as the data controller), and shows no record of external venture capital or private equity investment. Operating geographies span the UK, Ireland, and selected international bespoke deliveries.

Fibreglass Product Sales: The primary revenue stream is direct sales of fibreglass planters, water features, furniture, artificial plants, moss walls, and related landscape products to both trade professionals and retail customers via the company's e-commerce website. Products are made to order with pricing based on product type, size, and finish selected. Prices range from ~£45 (small planters ex VAT) to over £3,400 (large water tables ex VAT).
2. Bespoke Custom Projects: Revenue generated from bespoke fibreglass projects where customers commission custom-designed products working with the in-house design and CAD team. Pricing is quotation-based, determined by complexity, materials, and specifications.
3. Accessories & Consumables: Additional revenue from complementary products including LECA drainage granules, peat-free compost (from partner Equigrow), additional ashtrays, and gift cards. These are sold as add-on purchases alongside main products.
