Review of our lawn turf laying and garden clearance services from a happy Edinburgh resident.

"In all, I met eight people from the team and every one was professional, friendly and hardworking. They kept me informed and always turned up exactly as agreed. Despite very wet weather the first day the team continued to work through it. When I requested a return visit to rectify something this was timetabled without question and was carried out quickly. Much appreciated. I am happy with the clearance and the garden looks so much better and will be more manageable. The turf laid at the front is mostly doing well with the exception of one strip. I have kept it well watered and there are the odd green blades so I am hopeful it will improve in time. If not, I will contact you for advice. Thank you all for your hard work."
Shona Brown from Edinburgh on Jobber reviews.

Why do garden lawns need new turf layed?

​Garden lawns need new turf layed because they can be overrun by weeds and moss, degenerate due to neglect, poor drainage, mechanical damage or damage by pets.  Updating your lawn with fresh new turf and a top up of good nutrients to the soil base can transform the look of your entire garden as the lawn often fills the largest space. We take great care in fully prepping the topsoil before any lawn is laid. This can include rotovating the soil removing any weeds or rubble, adding fresh organic matter and some sharp sand to help the roots of the new lawn take hold.

Before and after photos of a recent lawn turf supply and installation project in the Edinburgh area.

During the turf installation process we used a cultivator to break up the existing soil to help improve the soil health and allow for better planting. The health of the soil was further helped by spreading a thin layer of topsoil and sharp sand to help the fresh lawn turf root properly. Next the team set about laying the turf over 65 square meters carefully unrolling and joining the turf together. The finished product is stunning!

Reviews of our Tree Surgery and Gardening Services

​"Thank you JDS gardening services. All the people I dealt with from sales and in the office were very helpful and the systems for booking, payments etc worked really well. The best thing was the quality of work, professionalism and curtesy of Jake and Brendan. A huge thanks to them for turning my garden into a place of beauty and joy. Hard work, knowledge and experience showed!"
Ruth Halley, Edinburgh, 2025.

Nancy Bowie from Edinburgh.
​"I am so chuffed with the work that JDS completed for me this week: I was getting a large and much-loved tree pruned back and shaped, so that I can manage it in the longer term. The individuals who performed the work were professional, friendly, and efficient, and they did a great job. From my initial enquiry through to the completion of the work, I felt very confident and pleased with the quality of the work, as well as their commitment to explaining my options and achieving the best outcome for me. They deserve a '5 Star +' recommendation."

Fiona O'Hanlon from Midlothian in February 2025.
"Really pleased with our new fence! We needed a new fence to separate our front garden from our neighbours and the fence had to run along a tricky angle with steps and uneven slabs. The team did a fantastic job and it looks really neat and tidy. They helped a lot also in the design process - recommending alternatives etc. and were also always friendly and responsive in communication! Would definitely recommend for anyone needing gardening work completed in Edinburgh."

​Bill Krol from Edinburgh in January 2025

Rachel M from Midlothian in January 2025
Macauley came today to cut down a tree in our back garden. The team was on time, very professional and polite, and were done with the work way quicker than I would have expected. Would highly recommend them to anyone, we were also quoted a way better price than any other competitors.
Michel on the Edinburgh Trusted Trader website in November 2024
"We just had JDS replace a shed for us and also some tidying up of our garden area. Great company, professional and friendly joiners who were efficient. We are really pleased with the work and are getting some tree cutting and landscaping work as well. We would thoroughly recommend them, they did a great job, thanks to Josh and all his team."
Kevin W from Edinburgh in November 2024
​"Excellent service could not praise them enough, they trimmed my tree's at front of property. Both guys were friendly and polite, good.price quoted. All cuttings tidied away swept up. Would use them in future."
Donna Senogles from Edinburgh in November 2024
​"We had Ellis, John & Hamish in today cutting our very large hedges. They did an incredible job - tidy, courteous and efficient. We will definitely have them back for any other garden needs."
Jenny Halpin from Edinburgh in November 2024
​"Firstly, it's very easy to contact JDS by phone and they are very, very helpful. My job was quite small - a small tree needed straightened and properly supported. I've had a few gardeners try to do it and fail. So I needed tree experts. JDS sent Liam and Louis who straightened the tree and put a rabbit-, fox- and badger-proof fence round it.
There is a minimum call-out charge, so the guys continued working for the time that was paid for. There were several jobs I got them to do - like pruning, and clearing flower beds and then putting a layer of mulch on them
The garden looks great. And all this was done on a very wet day - with not a word of complaint.
I could not be more pleased with my dealings with JDS. A really professional local company."
Anne Thomson, Edinburgh 2024.
​"Due to storm damage I required three new posts for my fence.
I provide photos of the damage and after a few more questions received a quotation and a date for the work to be completed. JDS Gardening Ltd sent information on who was coming to do the repair.
Rhys arrived on time. He was courteous, professional and confirmed with me the repair required. After completion Rhys and I inspected the fence which was repaired to a high standard plus the area was left tidy.
Totally happy with JDS Gardening Ltd and would highly recommend them."
Mrs Jacqueline Laurie-Magyar, Edinburgh, 2024.
​"I contacted JDS in 2021 to help deal with a tree that had been blown over during high winds. I didn't want the tree removed for many reasons, so asked if they could try and put it upright and see if it would recover as half of the roots were still in the ground. The team are so friendly and helpful, and within 15 minutes the tree was upright (with the aid of some supports). It's made a full recovery and I'm so pleased they agreed to help restore it rather than remove it. I'll be using their services again if I have any other garden mishaps."
​Nicola Swan, Edinburgh 2023
​"Easy to receive quotes. Work scheduled and completed in a short time. Staff knowledgeable about trees on site. Pleasant staff with no mess left. Thank you"
Judith Smith, Edinburgh 2023
​"Very pleased with the cutting of my 4 large conifer trees. The men were very polite, efficient, quick 
and a credit to the company."
​Irene Ashton, Edinburgh 2023
​"Very happy with the job undertaken by Macauley and Joe (apologies if my spelling is incorrect!). They arrived on time, carried out the work (a large leylandii hedge requiring to be cut back) to a high standard including tidying up and disposing of the waste trimmings, and were polite and friendly throughout."
Paul Morrison, Edinburgh 2023
​"Very professional. Arrived on time to cut back a neighbour’s oversized tree. Very happy reasonable price. Lovely tidy employees. Would recommend"
​Moira Laidlaw, Edinburgh 2023
​"We have used JDS a few times now to cut back our hedge. They always do a great job. The payment/booking process is really straightforward and the cost is very reasonable. They turn up on time and the gardeners are always very pleasant. Our garden looks great."
Laura McMillan, Edinburgh 2023
​"Had two cherry trees and a magnolia pruned to maintain size and keep off telephone wires.
Very pleased with the work. Workers turned up on time when they said they would. Worked unobtrusively and left no mess afterwards. Will definitely use them again."
Nigel Harper, Edinburgh 2023
​"Highly recommend JDS Trees. Really friendly and timely customer service, they did a thorough job tidying up my garden and removing a tree and they are excellent value - charged me a third of what I'd been quoted for tree removal by another firm. Would definitely use again."
Richard Ward - Edinburgh - 2023
​"I had JDS to do some tree surgery, they did a great job of largely reducing a cherry tree for me.  They also had no issues in felling and disposing of a 35 foot conifer tree. The guys were really polite, pleasant and friendly.
They turned up on time and did a great job of clearing up after the work was done.
Reasonably priced! I’d recommend!"
Samuel Ingram - Edinburgh - 2023
​"Needed a major clear up of my overgrown front garden; I chose JDS as they previously provided a regular garden maintenance program which I had to stop due to lack of money. Quote was given promptly and was very reasonable; an appointment date was quickly organised. The work was done professionally, everything asked for was completed and the garden left in a neat and tidy state. Removal of all the cuttings, etc is a boon. Can highly recommend this company." Kirsty Mullan - Edinburgh  2023
"Now met 7 of your staff and must say I am always impressed with their general manners. 
As far as the work is concerned, the work on the trees is always discussed and then completed as agreed during those discussion. Tidying up is thorough." John Kay from Edinburgh ​
"We have used Josh and his team before and always found them reliable. We had a large tree stump in the middle of a grass area which Josh came in and removed really quickly and efficiently. The tree stump and roots were removed well below the grass level as requested. Josh then tided up afterwards leaving the area looking great. We will definitely use JDS Gardening again and have recommended them to friends and family."
Relugas Place Residents Association, Edinburgh
"So many positives. Josh is super knowledgeable and helpful - I trust him to recommend the best products and services for my needs. The prices are very fair. It's great that everything is done electronically, including invoicing, receipts, reminder texts etc. The best thing about JDS has to be the guys who do the work. They are so courteous, enthusiastic, and hard working. Special thanks to the gardening team (Macauley, Brendan, Ollie and Joe) who worked unbelievably hard to get the job done."
Karen Jeffrey - Edinburgh - 2023
