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 reviewFabulous company, Davie and his team have treated my lawn and I am delighted with the results. I now have a maintenance plan and they regularly treat the grass for a very competitive price and I would thoroughly recommend them.
NicolaGoogle reviewDavid and his team visited us a few weeks ago, from the initial call to talk through what was required I knew this was the company for me! Very informative; helped me understand where I had been going wrong with my grass. DSM Turfing & Lawncare have given my grass a new lease at life, without blowing a hole in my bank balance. Thank you for everything

Lawn Care Projects From Around The Lothians
Lawn CareLawn Care in Archerfield
We did a little repair work on these lovely lawns at Archerfield, near North Berwick, back in March, sorting out the bare, worn patches. They've been on our treatment and maintenance plan ever since and they're improving by the week. Now they're thick, green and taking a proper stripe right across the garden.

Lawn Care in Musselburgh
This might be our favourite turnaround yet. This front lawn in Musselburgh was covered in yellow weeds, with clover coming through. No new turf and no reseeding, just treatments and cutting on our treatment and maintenance plan. Now it's thick, green, clear of weeds and takes a proper stripe. Being on the plan has well and truly paid off.

Lawn Care in Newbattle
Even with these lawns full of moss at the start, we managed to swing them round over the season with regular treatments and cutting. No re-turfing, just the right treatments at the right time and a mower on them all season.

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.
