Looking for a Garden Designer in the Glasgow Area?
Award-Winning Garden Design
Looking for a professional garden designer in Glasgow? Musa Landscape Architecture creates thoughtful, sustainable, and beautifully tailored outdoor spaces across Central Scotland, including right here in Glasgow.
“Hi, I’m Ryan McMahon, the founder of MUSA Landscape Architecture, and I’ve been designing gardens across Scotland (and beyond) for over 18 years.
Long before our recent recognition at RHS Chelsea and the Melbourne Flower Show, I was already working with clients in places like Glasgow who were looking for thoughtful, sustainable, and low-maintenance garden design.
For me, it’s not just about winning awards, it’s about trust. That’s why I value every client relationship, and why so much of our work comes through word-of-mouth and long-standing local reputation.”
