Landscaping and Tree Surgery Across St Andrews
Ardilla Landscapes is a family-run landscaping and tree surgery business based in Dairsie, just 10 minutes from the centre of St Andrews. We work across the town and the wider North Fife countryside, taking on everything from gravel driveways on residential streets off Hepburn Gardens to hedge trimming and tree work on mature gardens around Strathkinness and Guardbridge.
Most landscaping companies in St Andrews do not offer tree surgery, and most tree surgeons do not do garden work. With Ardilla Landscapes you get a landscaper and a tree surgeon from one team, under one roof. One call covers every outdoor job on your property.
With over 70+ years of combined experience and more than 5,000+ jobs completed across Tayside and Fife, we know how to plan, price, and finish outdoor work properly the first time.

Local Knowledge
Gardens Built for St Andrews and North Fife
St Andrews has a character all its own. Many properties in the town centre and around the university are older stone-built homes with established, mature gardens. These gardens need careful handling: considered pruning rather than heavy cutting, boundary fencing that respects the surrounding architecture, and planting that works with the existing structure rather than against it.
Coastal exposure is a factor that many gardeners overlook. The winds coming off the North Sea carry salt that affects which plants, timbers, and surfaces hold up season after season. A well-built gravel driveway, a properly treated timber fence, or a sheltered patio makes a noticeable difference to how a St Andrews garden lives year-round.
Beyond the town, across Strathkinness, Guardbridge, Leuchars, and out towards Cupar, the plots get bigger and the work changes. Long boundary fencing runs, larger lawns, mature trees that need regular management, and overgrown gardens that need clearing back to something usable are all everyday work for us.
