Why choose us as your landscaper in Edinburgh?

Edinburgh Paving & Landscaping Ltd designs and builds outdoor spaces across Edinburgh and the Lothians, from tired back gardens that need a complete rethink to front gardens that need somewhere to park. Every project starts with a free site visit: we look at the space, talk through what you want from it, take measurements and follow up with a detailed written quote.

We concentrate on hard landscaping and lawns rather than general building, so the parts you never see get as much care as the finish – proper excavation, a compacted sub-base, falls that carry water away from the house and drainage where the ground needs it.

Customers regularly mention Michael by name in their reviews, for the ideas he brings to the first visit and for keeping them updated while the work is under way. And there’s no deposit to find: you pay when the job is complete.

The way we work

  • Hard landscaping specialists
  • Proper sub-base, falls & drainage
  • One local team, start to finish

From waterlogged ground to a garden you can use

This back garden was bare, muddy ground that held water after rain. It was finished with a sandstone path, an artificial lawn and a timber sleeper raised bed.

Landscaper Edinburgh FAQs

Answers to the questions we’re asked most often about landscaping, patios and driveways in Edinburgh.

How much does a landscaper cost in Edinburgh?

Every garden is different, so we don’t publish set prices. The cost depends on the size of the area, how much needs digging out and taking away, access, levels and drainage, and the materials you choose. We’ll visit, measure up and give you a detailed written quote free of charge, with no obligation to go ahead.

Do I have to pay a deposit?

No. We don’t ask for a deposit on our paving and landscaping projects. You pay when the work is complete, so you can see the finished job before any money changes hands.

How quickly can you come out and quote?

We can usually arrange a site visit within 3–5 working days. We’ll look at the space, talk through what you want, take measurements and follow up with a detailed written quote. Request a callback or call 07827 788343 to book yours.

Do I need planning permission for a patio or driveway in Edinburgh?

Most back-garden patios don’t need planning permission. New hard surfacing at the front of a house is usually allowed if it’s permeable or drains onto a lawn or border within your property, and a new dropped kerb always needs approval from the council. Different rules can apply to flats, listed buildings and properties in conservation areas — which cover much of central Edinburgh — so check with the City of Edinburgh Council if that applies to you. We’ll flag anything worth checking when we survey.

Do you work through the winter?

Yes, we work all year round. Weather can affect the schedule for some jobs — resin bound surfaces, for example, can’t be laid below 5°C or in heavy rain — so we keep an eye on the forecast and plan the work around the milder, drier days.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole City of Edinburgh and the Lothians, including Leith, Portobello, Morningside, Corstorphine, Dalkeith, Musselburgh and Livingston. See our coverage page for the full list of areas we regularly work in.

Are you insured, and is your work guaranteed?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we provide a written workmanship warranty on our installations. The materials we use also carry their manufacturers’ own warranties. We’ll confirm the exact terms for your project when we quote.

What’s the difference between a landscaper and a gardener?

A gardener looks after an existing garden with jobs like mowing, pruning and weeding. A landscaper changes or builds the garden itself: patios, paths, lawns, walls, steps, decking, fencing and driveways. We’re a landscaping company that specialises in this construction work rather than regular garden maintenance.
