What You Need To Know About Landscaping In Macmerry
Macmerry is an open village on the farmland edge with the A1 at its back, and that shapes how landscaping works here. Good design starts from what the site actually is, not what a catalogue assumes.
Bigger rural plots give design room to breathe: proper terraces, real lawns, shelter planting and layouts built around how the household actually uses the space.
We run East Lothian weekly from our Midlothian base, coast road and inland loop both. A free visit starts every job, and the quote is fixed in writing.

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 Macmerry 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 Macmerry: the local detail
What Matters Here for Landscaping in Macmerry
The place
Macmerry means an open village on the farmland edge with the A1 at its back. Its gardens reward building that suits the setting, and that is the brief we design to.
The country build
Scale changes the brief: drainage and access planned first, then patios, paths and planting arranged so a big garden works in all weathers instead of just photographing well in June.
What it costs
One agreed number per phase, fixed after a walk-round. Sub-bases and drainage take their share because they are why the work lasts.
Getting started
We run East Lothian weekly from our Midlothian base, coast road and inland loop both. A free visit starts every job, and the quote is fixed in writing.
