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.

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

We are very happy with the work carried out by Colin and Lisa at the front of our house. We had a major overhaul of our driveway and front steps which Colin and his team carried out very efficiently and competently, completing a very well-finished job done to a high standard with good quality materials. We would have no hesitation in recommending Edinburgh Paving and Landscaping to others.
