What You Need To Know About Lawn Care In Easthouses
Easthouses shares its high ground and its mining history with Mayfield next door, and the gardens have a similar character: practical plots that have served families for generations, with lawns that get real use rather than admiration from a distance.
Lawns that get used need resilience. That comes from aeration where the walking lines compact, feeding that matches the season, and overseeding with hard-wearing grasses rather than showpiece varieties that fall apart under a football. We would rather build you a tough lawn than a fragile pretty one.
We are through Easthouses on the same rounds as Mayfield and Dalkeith, so slots for regular cuts or treatments are easy. If the lawn has been struggling, the first visit is an assessment: we walk it, find what is actually wrong, and price the fix honestly.
What’s Included
Everything Your Lawn Needs
Build the plan around what your lawn actually needs. Most customers are on the regular treatment and maintenance plan; renovations and one-off fixes are priced after a quick look.
Weed & Moss Control
Targeted treatments to tackle common lawn weeds and suppress moss growth, applied at the right points throughout the year.
Scarification
Mechanical removal of thatch and moss buildup that chokes your grass. Essential for any lawn that has gone without treatment for a season or more.
Aeration
Core and spike aeration to relieve compaction, improve drainage, and allow nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively.
Overseeding
Seeding of thin, worn, or bare patches to restore density and give your lawn an even, consistent finish across the whole surface area.
Soil Conditioning
Topdressing and soil treatment to improve the growing environment beneath the surface, tailored to your specific soil type and condition.
Lawn Care 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.
Mow little and often.
Never take more than a third off in one cut.
Moss is a symptom, not bad luck.
Unless shade and compaction are dealt with, it comes back.
Water deeply and rarely.
A daily sprinkle grows shallow roots.
Don't feed a stressed lawn.
Fertiliser in a drought does more harm than good.
Sharpen your blades.
Blunt ones tear the grass and it browns at the tips. Or let us worry about it.
Autumn is when good lawns are made.
Scarify, aerate and overseed while the soil is still warm.
Got a question these don't cover? Ask Davie. He answers everything himself.

What Easthouses Folk Say About Us
Real reviews from Lawn Care customers around Edinburgh and the Lothians.
We started with a very sad, new-build lawn that had suffered from a winter of neglect. After just a few months on their treatment and maintenance plan, it has completely turned around and looks absolutely great. Davie and the team turn up without fail and nothing is ever too much bother.
PaulGoogle reviewApproached DSM having seen their page on Facebook – having been frustrated with the service provided by a competitor – I was desperate to try something new. Davie and his team promptly came to my property – identified the issue's and carried out a full treatment within a few days. My lawn has never looked so good & healthy – I have signed up to the treatment only plan for a few months and will continue…

Lawn Care Projects From Around The Lothians
Lawn CareLawn Care in Gilmerton
We took this Gilmerton lawn over in April. The front garden was patchy, thin and full of weeds. Since then it has been on our treatment and maintenance plan: feeding, weed control and regular cutting through the season. A few months later it is thick, green and striped. Plans run over 12 months, and it is never too late in the year to start.

Lawn Care in Prestonpans
This Prestonpans garden is on our treatment and maintenance plan, front and back. When the lawns need feeding, we feed them. When we see weeds, we spray them. And when the grass is growing too fast, we slow it down so it doesn't race away between cuts. Both lawns are thick, dark green and striped now, and they'll stay that way as long as the plan keeps running.

Lawn Care in Wallyford
This Wallyford lawn came to us rough and uneven, coarse tufts and clumps sitting proud with thin ground showing between them. It's on our treatment and maintenance plan now: fed on a schedule, weeds treated as they appear, and cut regularly so the growth stays even instead of running away in lumps. It's level and striped from end to end these days, and the plan is what keeps it there.

Lawn Care in Easthouses: the local detail
What Matters Here for Lawn Care in Easthouses
The village
Easthouses shares its hill and its mining story with Mayfield, and its gardens have the same honest character: family plots where the lawn is for using, not just admiring from the kitchen window.
The wear
Used lawns wear in patterns: goalmouths, washing-line runs, the corner the dog owns. We rebuild those zones with hard-wearing seed and relieve the compaction underneath, because patching the surface without fixing the ground is a yearly subscription to the same problem.
The season
Like the rest of the high ground, Easthouses runs a slightly short season. Feeds go on when growth actually starts, and autumn work gets done early enough for the soil to still be warm.
The round
We are through Easthouses every week between Mayfield and Dalkeith. Regular cuts, treatments or a one-off revival: it starts with ten minutes on the lawn and a straight answer.
