What You Need To Know About Landscaping In Liberton
Liberton landscaping is about making slopes liveable. Most gardens here tilt, and the difference between a garden you look at and one you use is a level place to sit, safe steps between the levels, and retaining that holds it all quietly in place.
We cut and build terraces with drainage designed first, construct steps that are generous rather than grudging, and finish with planting that stitches the levels together. On gentler tilts, sometimes regrading and a clever lawn shape solve it without walls at all, and we will say so when that is true.
Liberton is on our daily south-side runs. Sloped gardens get a proper survey walk before any promises, then a fixed price and a build that can phase, main terrace first, the rest as it suits.

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.

What Liberton 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.

Landscaping in Liberton: the local detail
What Matters Here for Landscaping in Liberton
Liveable slopes
Liberton's gradients decide its gardens. The difference between a slope you own and a slope you use is a level terrace, safe generous steps and retaining that does its work quietly.
The engineering
We cut terraces with drainage planned before aesthetics, build walls with proper footings, and where a gentle regrade and a clever lawn shape can solve it without walls at all, we say so and save you the difference.
The soft layer
Planting stitches the levels together and holds the banks: groundcover where mowers should not go, structure where the eye needs it, and grass only where grass can win.
Starting
Daily south-side runs. Survey walk before promises, fixed price after, main terrace first if phasing helps.
