What You Need To Know About Landscaping In Currie
Currie gardens climb, and our landscaping here climbs with them. Terracing is the signature job: turning an awkward slope into two or three level, usable spaces connected by proper steps, held by retaining that will outlast the mortgage.
Water management decides whether hillside landscaping succeeds. We design the drainage first, sort what the slope does with heavy rain, then build platforms, paths and planting that hold the gradient. The result is a garden you use top to bottom instead of admiring the flat two metres by the door.
Currie is quick for us off the bypass on southwest runs. Sloped projects get a proper survey walk first, a plan with levels drawn honestly, then a fixed price, and phasing if you want the main terrace now and the rest to follow.

Landscaping advice
Davie’s Advice before you spend a penny
What Davie tells every customer, whether they book us or not. Free to ignore, but he’s usually right.
Drainage first.
Patios, decking and planting all fail on waterlogged ground.
Design for how you live.
Build around how you use the garden, not how it photographs.
Levels before looks.
Get falls and levels right before anything decorative goes in.
Access saves money.
Good machinery access takes serious labour cost off a bigger job.
Plant for the site.
Shade, soil and wind decide what thrives, not the catalogue.
Phasing is fine.
A good plan lets you build the garden in stages.
Got a question these don't cover? Ask Davie. He answers everything himself.

Reviews
What Currie Folk Say About Us
Real reviews from Landscaping customers around Edinburgh and the Lothians.
After being let down by several landscaping companies, we were absolutely delighted to find DSM. Scott and Garry came out to quote one afternoon, and by 6pm that same day we had a confirmed price and start date. The quality of their work is exceptional and we couldn’t be happier with how our garden has turned out. The extra touches they added, including power washing our driveway once everything was finished, really show how much pride…
LoriGoogle reviewDSM landscaped the area around our hot tub to a very good standard. They did what they said they would, when they said the would, for a reasonable cost. Absolutely no problems and would absolutely recommend them.
StuartGoogle reviewExcellent service. Highly recommend. Davy was very professional and I highly recommend

Landscaping in Currie: the local detail
What Matters Here for Landscaping in Currie
The terrace trade
Currie's slopes are our terracing heartland. The brief is nearly always the same: turn a gradient you look at into levels you live on, without the garden feeling engineered.
Holding the hill
Retaining is structural work and we build it that way: proper footings, drainage behind every wall, and materials that settle into the landscape. A terrace that moves was never built; it was arranged.
The connected garden
Steps, paths and planting stitch the levels into one garden. Generous treads, handholds where the family needs them, and green softening so the structure reads as garden rather than civil engineering.
Starting
Minutes off the bypass on southwest runs. Survey walk with a level and a tape, honest options, fixed price, phased build if it suits.
