The Edinburgh Paving and Landscaping Company recently completed a new driveway and path at the front of our property. This was completed using Sandstone (path) and Tegula Blocks (driveway).
Colin and Lisa were a pleasure to deal with; full of great ideas and suggestions, and always very helpful and professional. We took a long time researching contractors as we really wanted to get a great result. We are so happy that we used The Edinburgh Paving and Landscaping Company, they have completely transformed the look of our property. We would not hesitate to recommend.

I can thoroughly recommend the Edinburgh Paving and Landscaping Company to anyone wanting new paths and landscaping around their property. I am delighted with the quality of the work they did for me. I can honestly say, they transformed the look of my house, very much for the better. They started and finished on time and in between worked very hard to ensure I had the very best quality job. I largely left them to it and I'm pleased I did so because they did a much better job that I could have imagined. To say I am pleased with the result is an understatement. If I had another house I would have

Lisa and Colin were an excellent team that produced an absolutely perfectly constructed driveway to match our period property. From design through excavation to completion they were timely and communicative. They have also sourced a contractor for us to produce a matched railing. Our neighbours are very complimentary about their work and team too plus how its improved the outlook of the street.

From the very first visit (when Lisa came to see our drive and garden) through to completion, The Edinburgh Paving & Landscaping Co have been fantastic. Colin and his men were polite, on time and so friendly. They listened to any queries I had and were so professional. The drive and back patio have transformed our home and after only a week, it has been commented on several times. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them. Brilliant job team and thank you again

From first visit to job completion, the company was great to deal with. Lisa was able to provide practical and constructive advice from the outset and, with a very competitive quote for all required works, I was more than happy to engage them. They gave realistic timescales for commencing the works and Colin and his team did an amazing job in a relatively short period of time. From ripping out existing decking to the laying of new paths, driveway and grass areas, all work was carried out considerately and to a very high standard. We are absolutely delighted with the finished result and I would

I cannot fault the service we received from the whole team at the Edinburgh Paving and Landscaping Company. Professional, friendly and the work was completed to high technical standard. I would have no hesitation recommending them to others and would gladly have them back in the future should we do any further landscaping work.
