Thinking About Transforming Your Garden?
Choosing the right landscaper can make or break your garden project. Whether you’re considering a full garden renovation, installing a new fence, or upgrading your driveway, working with someone who understands your vision — and can deliver it — is key.
At Halley Garden Services, we’ve helped homeowners across Midlothian and Edinburgh turn outdoor ideas into reality. If you’re unsure what to look for when hiring a landscaper, here are a few simple but important points to guide you.
1. Check Local Experience
A landscaper familiar with your area will understand local weather, soil types, and council regulations. At HGS, we’ve been working in Midlothian for over 25 years — we know what works and what lasts in Scottish gardens.
2. Look for a Proven Track Record
Before choosing someone, review their recent projects. Do they have a portfolio? Do they specialise in the type of work you need — like fencing, mono block driveways, or full-scale garden renovations?
At Halley Garden Services, we show many completed jobs on our gallery page. This lets clients see the quality of our work.
3. Ask About Materials & Suppliers
Quality materials matter just as much as quality labour. A good landscaper will be transparent about where they source materials. We work with trusted suppliers like Thistle Timber & Building Supplies and Beatsons Building Supplies. This helps us ensure strength, durability, and good looks in every project.
4. Reviews and Word of Mouth
Look for honest reviews and testimonials. If previous clients are happy, chances are you will be too. We’re proud to have a growing list of 5-star Google reviews from satisfied customers throughout Midlothian.
5. Communication is Key
The best landscaping results come from good communication. You should feel comfortable discussing your ideas and budget. Our team at HGS always aims to be friendly, upfront, and flexible — ensuring you stay in control of your project from start to finish.
