Landscaping & gardening and Edinburgh homes
Edinburgh's housing ranges from the Georgian terraces and flats of the New Town (part of the Old and New Towns UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Victorian tenements in Marchmont and Leith, to the stone 'colonies' terraces, interwar bungalows in Corstorphine and newer estates on the city edges.
- Tenement back courts are usually shared, so get agreement from the other owners before changing them.
- Stone boundary walls are common round older houses. Repointing or rebuilding them is a specialist job worth mentioning up front.
- Removing trees in a conservation area normally needs six weeks' notice to City of Edinburgh Council.
- Larger gardens round older villas often need hedges, walls and drainage work as well as patios.
- New-build gardens are often left as basic turf on compacted soil, so drainage, patios and fencing are common first jobs.
Areas covered include Old Town, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Portobello, Corstorphine, Gorgie, Craigentinny, Gilmerton. Local authority: City of Edinburgh Council.

How it works
- Tell us the job. Give a short description, your postcode and roughly when.
- We pass it to one local tradesperson who covers your area and does that kind of work. We pick one, not five, so your phone won't ring all day.
- They contact you to arrange a visit or a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.
To be upfront about what we are: we're an independent quote-request service, not a trade company. We don't vet, insure or guarantee anyone's work, so always get a written quote and check the registrations that apply to your job.
