THE HALF CUT GARDENER
A brilliantly bonkers sub-brand by Caledon Contractors
At Caledon Contractors, we’ve spent years crafting beautiful landscapes, delivering complex groundworks, and managing large-scale builds across the Highlands and Islands. But every now and then… our artistic side wants to come out and play.
Introducing: The Half Cut Gardener.
A creative offshoot that specialises in bespoke outdoor art installations designed to surprise, delight, and stir curiosity.
What is The Half Cut Gardener?
The concept is simple—and slightly mad:
We take eclectic objects and half-bury them into the ground. A red telephone box tilting into a wildflower bed. A grand piano sinking into a mossy slope. A vintage bathtub peeking out of the lawn like it was always meant to be there.
The name plays on the double meaning of “half cut”—
One part artful installation. One part tipsy landscaping energy.
But make no mistake—behind the whimsy is a team of skilled professionals. All installations are carefully planned, engineered, and safely embedded by the same trusted team behind Caledon Contractors’ reputation.
