Garden Walls & Tiered Gardens in Ayr & South West Scotland

At Driveway & Landscape Design, we design and construct high-quality garden walls and tiered gardens for homeowners across Ayr, Troon, Prestwick, Irvine, Kilmarnock, and surrounding areas. Our team specialises in transforming sloped or uneven gardens into practical, attractive outdoor spaces using well-built retaining walls and structured levels.

Transform Sloped Gardens into Usable Outdoor Spaces

If your garden sits on a slope or has awkward level changes, a tiered garden design can completely transform how the space is used. By incorporating retaining walls, steps, and defined levels, we create structured layouts that are easier to maintain and far more enjoyable to use.

Our garden wall services include:

Retaining walls for tiered gardens
Boundary and decorative garden walls
Raised planting beds
Level changes with integrated steps
Brick, stone, and rendered finishes

Each design is tailored to suit your property, garden layout, and personal style.

Built for Strength, Stability & Appearance

Tiered gardens and retaining walls must be built correctly to last. We focus on proper foundations, drainage, and reinforcement to ensure long-term stability — especially important in Scotland’s weather conditions. Every wall is constructed with care, precision, and attention to detail, delivering a clean finish that enhances your outdoor space.

We use only high-quality materials and experienced tradespeople to ensure your garden walls and tiers remain strong, safe, and visually appealing for years to come.

DRIVEWAY HEAVEN

Can’t fault. Four days and we had a lovely
distinctive driveway. Hard workers and
pleasant. Would happily recommend well
worth waiting for.

We are so chuffed with how our garden has turned out. Martin is clearly a perfectionist and hugely knowledgeable about his craft. He came up with a plan to give us a beautiful, practical space that suits our house which we can now enjoy for many years to come. His team are just so friendly, professional and extremely hard working, it was a pleasure to have them around. The finishing and attention to detail was top notch and we are so pleased with the results. Could not recommend highly enough, thanks a million.

Very pleased with our new back garden and patio. Martin provided excellent design advice and his team worked with both care and skill, completing within the expected time. As must often be the case for such works, a few fairly significant additions and changes were discussed, priced and agreed during the work and the final bill was exactly as agreed - with no 'hidden extras' or other surprises, despite us asking for a few relatively minor additions towards the end of the work. It's hard to see how this performance could be improved and I can recommend Driveway and Landscape Design without reservation.

Excellent workmanship. Competitive price and great design. Martin and his friendly team were in and out in just a few days. Would highly recommend Driveway and Landscape Designs.

Garden Walls & Tiered Gardens FAQs

Do I need planning permission for a garden wall or tiered garden?

In most cases, planning permission isn’t required for garden walls or terraced gardens, but this can depend on wall height, location, and ground levels. We’ll advise you during your site visit if any permissions are likely to be needed.

Are retaining walls suitable for sloped gardens?

Yes. Retaining walls are ideal for sloped or uneven gardens, allowing the space to be safely divided into usable levels. When built with proper foundations and drainage, they provide long-term stability and improved usability.

What materials can be used for garden walls?

We use a range of high-quality materials, including natural stone, stone-effect walling, and engineered concrete systems from trusted manufacturers such as Marshalls and Tobermore. The best option depends on the design and function of the wall.
