North Hill Gardens Ltd.

What North Hill Gardens Ltd. does

North Hill Gardens Ltd. is a private, founder-owned garden design and landscaping firm headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, founded by Michael Dumanski in 2008. The company operates from two physical offices (Glasgow headquarters at Hillington Business Centre and a regional office at The Melting Pot in Edinburgh) and serves residential homeowners and a small commercial segment across six named Scottish regions, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Central Belt, the Highlands and Islands, and the East and West of Scotland. Its core offering is end-to-end garden transformation, combining bespoke landscape architecture design with in-house construction and ongoing maintenance, supported by a senior team of chartered landscape architects and an Operations Director overseeing finance, HR, and client management.

The company's core technology consists of design layouts and 3D visualisation modelling that allow clients to preview garden transformations before construction, complemented by a proprietary diagonal layout grid technique for small urban gardens and a structured four-tier design service menu (Essential, Extensive, Custom, Workshop). Construction services are delivered by in-house teams using accredited materials from partners including Marshalls and Millboard, with a one-year guarantee on built features. The firm also designs and installs higher-ticket sub-services such as outdoor kitchens (under a Grillo Living Trade Pro partnership), pergolas, water features, and garden lighting, and offers recurring seasonal maintenance packages including a 20-hour fortnightly bundle.

North Hill Gardens generates revenue through three streams: professional services fees on bespoke garden design (typically 10% of the declared construction budget, or hourly at £60-£150, or £15 per square metre for workshop designs), professional services fees on in-house construction (with 30% upfront material payments and structured payment schedules), and subscription-like recurring maintenance packages. Go-to-market is consultative direct sales supported by free initial consultations, with customer acquisition via the company website, SEO-optimised regional landing pages, Instagram, blog content, customer testimonials, and inbound referrals through the Marshalls and Millboard approved-installer directories. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with a £1,200 construction pre-booking fee credited against the final invoice.
