ABOUT US

Nazca Lines 3Our branding is based on the Nazca Lines, the series of ancient geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert in southern Peru called the Nazca Lines.

Scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The largest figures are up to 370 m (1,200) long.

The series of geoglyphs range in complexity from simple lines, to stylized animals and foliage. One of the most well-known of the Nazca lines is the monkey.

We chose the image of the Nazca monkey as a symbol for Puzzled Monkey Landscapes as it is a powerful symbol of the efforts that humans undergo to alter the earths surface for aesthetic and artistic purposes.

Nazca Lines 2The image of the Nazca monkey beautifully brings together the already memorable name of the company with the puzzling mystery of these particular petroglyphs and further the obvious relevance the Nazca lines have to landscaping.

We felt that in a sense it is the scale of these images which make them the ultimate symbols of the efforts humans have gone to in the past to alter the earth’s surface for aesthetic and artistic purposes.

Tracing the outline from an aerial photograph of the Nazca monkey an illustration was made which forms the final graphic.

DESIGN SERVICES

Turning your plans and ideas into reality is what landscaping is all about. With a background in Civil Engineering (Hons. from Edinburgh University) I tend to embrace the belt and braces philosophy. We believe it’s better all round to spend that little bit extra time getting the preparation right and err on the generous side with materials in order to produce a job that’ll never need re-visiting. All our hard landscaping carries a 10 year guarantee and is regularly inspected by independent assessors who have consistently marked us as excellent for quality of work, site safety and aesthetics.

When it comes to choosing the right material for the job, the range of choices on offer can be daunting. Puzzled Monkey Landscapes can advise you on what works best and help make your final decision.

Photographs in brochures, on the internet or in books never really tell the full story. We are happy to take you to see some of our finished jobs where you can observe for yourself the quality of the work, and how the materials look in reality.

Attention to detail is, in my opinion, what transforms a good job into a great job. We’re meticulous with our work and always go that little bit further to make sure your landscaping looks as good as it possibly can.

PORTFOLIO
TESTIMONIALS

I am delighted with the landscaping work that Spruce carried out in my front garden. Alan built beautiful sandstone pillars using stone from the old stone wall. The attention to detail and quality of finish on the whole project is very impressive. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

We eventually decided on Puzzled Monkey for conducting the work in our back garden. We had seen a few people for quotes, but they say you just know and we had a good feeling from the outset when meeting with Craig the owner. Fair to say the team did a fantastic job! Particular thanks to Jason and Neil, they were both hard working, informative, knowledgeable and took real pride in the work they did. Jason being the lead was an absolute pleasure to deal with and kept us updated throughout, he really knows porcelain. Willie was also great and gave another layer of assurance. I have no concerns in highly recommending them. We now have the oasis we were after and are looking forward to enjoying it, so thanks again guys.

Mark Hoskins, East Lothian EH21

From the quote to the completion of works, I found the whole team to be helpful and communicative. If there was delay, I was called early on to explain why and works would restart. Despite the inclement weather, the whole project was only delayed a couple of days. The quality of the finish was excellent and the workmen cheerful and helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone having similar works done (patio/driveway replaced).

I would like to recommend Spruce Garden Services for the fabulous transformation of our garden. Craig’s team were professional and courteous during the time that they were here and I would like to particularly mention Scott and Alan who were great. Work carried out included the installation of a extensive new patio area with flower beds around the patio and fantastic red cedar wood screens at either end. In addition, large flower beds were created to the rear of the garden with a seating area and pea gravel walkway introduced. We are very happy with the work carried out and we would definitely use them again in the future.

After being left with a garden resembling the Somme by a previous contractor we engaged Spruce Garden Services to rip out what had already been done and then transform our garden and drive into our dream garden. The job took around 11 weeks and at various times we had between 1 and 11 guys on site. The outcome is just how we hoped it would be. It wasn’t a straightforward job but everything we asked for was accommodated. Not everything was done perfectly, what job ever is, but whenever it was not right, then it was fixed without a problem. That to me is the measure of a good company. During the job, Sam and Willie made suggestions on how it could be improved, its the small details that make the difference between someone doing a job and someone who takes pride in their job. The Spruce team take a pride in their job. We even got some advice on planting schemes, which were out of scope. After the job, a Marshalls rep came to inspect their work showing that they are subject to independent oversight. I am pleased to say that Marshalls had no issues. I am not an easy person to please but would have no hesitation in recommending Spruce to anyone. There are too many names to mention here but our core team of Sam, Gregor and of course bossman Willie deserve a special mention. I have attached photos of the finished job.

Stewart Alexander, Falkirk FK2

Contacted Craig at Spruce Garden Services to get a complete makeover of our back garden. Summer house removed, 25m of shadowbox fencing installed, new patios (25sqm), raised beds, decorative aggregates and making split level. Guys were fantastic, courteous, hard working and very professional. Jason and his team worked so hard and paid attention to detail. Would have no hesitation in recommending.

Colin Clark, Edinburgh EH32

Very happy with the service we get from Spruce garden services. They are reliable, hard working, we have them out every 2 weeks and even our neighbours have been using them now. Excellent value for money.

Claire Higgins, Edinburgh EH20
Craig was very professional and I got exactly what I wanted. My fence is lovely.
Alana Millard, Edinburgh EH13
We can thoroughly recommend Craig and team, they transformed our front garden and continually found new ideas to enhance the original vision. Hard-working, high quality, reliable, honest and friendly. One year on and we have been using them for ongoing maintenance and have now booked them to transform our back garden.
