How long does a typical landscaping project take?

Project timelines depend on scope and complexity. A standard driveway takes 3-5 days, patios typically require 2-4 days, and complete garden transformations take 1-2 weeks.

What areas do you cover in Scotland?

We serve Edinburgh, Fife, and the Central Belt of Scotland. This includes Livingston, Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Musselburgh, Alloa, Falkirk, and surrounding towns within a 40-mile radius. Contact us at 0800 644 0131 to confirm we cover your specific location. We're proud to be the trusted local choice for quality landscaping.

What makes your work 40% stronger than industry standards?

We exceed standard building regulations by using thicker sub-bases and premium materials. Where industry standard uses 100mm of sub-base, we use 150mm. We use Tobermore premium paving products, deeper foundations, and advanced installation techniques. This means your driveway, patio, or garden feature will last decades longer and withstand Scottish weather conditions without sinking, cracking, or deteriorating.

Are you fully insured and qualified?

Absolutely. We're fully insured with comprehensive public liability coverage protecting you and your property. Our team has over 15 years of professional experience and we're committed to following all safety regulations and best practices. All work comes with our lifetime guarantee on workmanship. We're also fully certified to work with Tobermore premium products.

What payment terms do you offer?

We require a reasonable deposit to secure materials and schedule your project, with the balance due upon satisfactory completion. We provide transparent payment schedules in all quotes and accept various payment methods including bank transfer, card, and cheque. We never ask for full payment upfront and only request final payment when you're completely happy with the finished work.

Do I need planning permission for my landscaping project?

Most driveways, patios, and garden projects don't require planning permission in Scotland. However, permissions may be needed for front driveways over 5 square metres without proper drainage, properties in conservation areas, or listed buildings. We'll advise whether your specific project requires permission and help guide you through the application process if needed.

What warranty and guarantee do you provide?

All our work comes with a comprehensive lifetime guarantee on workmanship. We also provide manufacturer warranties on materials (typically 10-25 years on Tobermore products). If any issues arise from our installation, we'll fix them at no cost to you. This guarantee is backed by our 15+ years in business and our commitment to building lasting relationships with clients.

Do you handle waste removal and site cleanup?

Yes, comprehensive waste removal and site cleanup are included in all our quotes at no extra cost. We'll remove all excavated material, packaging, unused materials, and debris. Your property will be left clean, tidy, and ready to enjoy immediately. We take pride in leaving your site spotless – many clients comment on how clean we leave their properties.

Can I see examples of your previous work?

Of course! Our portfolio section showcases recent projects across Edinburgh, Fife, and the Central Belt including driveways, patios, gardens, and decking. We're happy to provide references from previous clients and can arrange for you to visit completed projects near you. We also share regular project updates on our social media channels.

What happens if it rains during my project?

Scottish weather is unpredictable, but we're prepared! We monitor forecasts closely and plan accordingly. Light rain usually doesn't stop work, but heavy rain can affect certain stages like base laying and finishing. If weather causes delays, we'll communicate promptly and reschedule to ensure quality isn't compromised. Our experience in Scottish conditions means we know exactly when it's safe to proceed.

How do I maintain my new driveway or patio?

Maintenance is minimal with our quality installations. Simply sweep regularly, remove weeds as they appear, and occasionally use a pressure washer (on appropriate settings). Seal block paving every 2-3 years to maintain appearance. We provide detailed maintenance instructions with every project and are always available for advice. Our 40% stronger foundations mean less maintenance and longer-lasting results compared to standard installations.

Why should I choose Maybury Landscaping over competitors?

We offer unmatched quality with our 40% stronger installations, over 15 years of experience, lifetime workmanship guarantee, and premium Tobermore materials. Unlike competitors, we never cut corners – we exceed building regulations on every project. Our clients choose us for our transparent pricing, no-pressure quotes, comprehensive service from design to cleanup, and our reputation as the trusted local choice across Edinburgh and Fife.
