PFG Landscaping can give your garden a real transformation this summer
'Soon, I had done a lot of gardens in our village.'
He adds, smiling: 'That's how it started and it has really grown from there.'

It prides itself on completing high-end, high-value projects, managing each one from initial consultation through to completion.
The company's experienced team offers a wide range of services, from groundworks and drainage to driveways, fencing, patios, grass-laying and full garden makeovers. A PFG architect will visit your property in the early stages, to discuss your ideas and share their experience and expert advice.
Nikola Bielawska is a landscape architect who has been collaborating with PFG for four years.
'Gardens are very important in our lives,' she explains. 'They are an extension of our homes, something natural we can enjoy, whether to relax in or even work. Children, pets – everyone can enjoy this shared space.
'Every garden, every client is different, and because I am involved from the beginning, it's very exciting to see each project through. After the initial consultation, I come up with sketches, taking into account the different terrains, sizes, and client needs and lifestyle.'
She adds: 'I appreciate working with Michal and the team at PFG. His attention to detail and precise workmanship are essential in bringing garden designs to life.
'We work hard to build up relationships of trust with our clients – it can be a huge step for someone to hand over their garden design to us and we take that very seriously.'
Recently, the team worked on a large garden in Airdrie, transforming an inaccessible and sloping area into a stylish and relaxing outdoor space, with zoned areas for planting, relaxing and play.

After the kitchen and bathroom, it is one of the most important and expensive areas of your home and getting it right can add massive value to your property.
'We try to show our customers the potential of their garden.'
The company uses local suppliers where possible and works hard to include natural wood and stone. It also tries to re-use existing materials from the garden itself.
How people use their gardens has changed considerably in recent years, particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, says Michal.

'More and more clients want their gardens to be low-maintenance, easy to care for, and environmentally friendly.'
Michal adds: 'Building the business over the last seven years has been hard work but seeing the happiness we bring to people really pushes me forward.
'People are spending a lot of money with us, so they need to know that they can trust us. That is why it is important to me to deal with them from beginning to end, and afterwards, if they need us, we will also be there.'
