We've built and landscaped hundreds of Edinburgh homes over the years. This is the part where we start writing some of what we've learned down.
What you'll find here
We're keeping this practical. Less marketing fluff, more useful answers to the questions homeowners actually ask when they call us:
- How much does X cost? Real numbers from real projects we've finished in Edinburgh โ not the made-up averages you see on national directories.
- When's the right time of year? Scottish weather has opinions about landscaping. We'll share what we've learned about scheduling work that lasts.
- Patio vs decking? Block paving vs resin? Extension vs loft conversion? Side-by-side comparisons with the trade-offs we'd talk through with you in person.
What you won't find here
We're not interested in writing 2,000-word guides stuffed with keywords that nobody reads. Every post here will be something we'd actually say to a customer on a site visit.
How often we'll post
Honestly โ when we have something worth saying. A trade business isn't a content factory. Expect one or two pieces a month, focused on questions we keep getting asked.
If there's something you'd like us to write about, drop us a line. We'll cover the ones that come up most.
