Nicholas Hill Garden Construction

What garden would be complete without a patio? An ideal space for outdoor dining or entertaining, a clean safe area for the children to play or simply a relaxing place to sit on a sunny day. With a wide variety of styles to choose from, we can provide the ideal paving to complement your property. Products range from natural sandstone or slate to man-made slabs or simple block paviors and our construction expertise will ensure that your new paving is admired for years to come.

We have had a very busy start to the year, with lots of new enquiries for garden maintenance, fencing and complete garden re designs. It is about to get even busier as we will be starting the garden maintenance round for the 2015 season next week now. I will also be carrying out moss treatments and lawn scarifying over the next few weeks, so please do get in touch if you would like a quote for any of these services.

The first step is to remove the existing lawn/mud, a 50mm timber frame is then fixed in place around the perimeter. This allows us to create a level surface and means the artificial grass can be fixed in place by screwing it to the frame. If you would like a quote for artificial grass/fake grass/astro turf please contact me and I can come and discuss the various options. I can also show you some samples of the different types of grass available.

Decking is an increasingly popular option for people who want more from their garden, either as an elegant low-maintenance seating/dining area or as a cost-effective way to level awkward and inaccessible slopes. Solid and beautifully finished, our decks are built to last. We use pressure-treated softwood timber or can source a variety of hardwood timber all from sustainable sources. For that perfect finishing touch, we can also offer a selection of fitted lighting and balustrades to suit your taste.

Do you want to simplify an overgrown area of your garden or create an open space for your children to play in? Has your old lawn disappeared under a sea of moss? If so, a new lawn could make all the difference. We use only high-quality, locally-sourced turf from Stewart's Turf of Edinburgh, perfect for a lush emerald-green lawn. With our long experience of laying turf, we will give your garden the transformation you've been waiting for.

Are you tired of your dreary old driveway? Or perhaps your path has aged badly and become a trip-hazard? We can breathe new life into your garden with a bespoke path or driveway in the materials of your choice. There is a great selection of products available, from natural stone to man-made slabs and blocks. For a softer option, we can also source gravels and decorative stone chips to suit any colour scheme. With our expertise and attention to detail, we will build the perfect solution to all your parking and access needs.

If your existing fence has finally succumbed to the elements or if you need a new fence to clearly define the boundaries of your property, we are the people to call. Fencing is one of our specialities and we can provide you with an impressive choice of solutions to suit all sorts of gardens and budgets. We can source fence panels and trellis ranging from the stylish and elegant to the purely functional. If you prefer something tailor-made, our palisade fencing is custom-built and hand-finished to a high specification, using timber from sustainable sources that is pressure-treated and guaranteed for 15 years against rot.

Do you struggle to find time to stay on top of your garden maintenance? Would you rather be lounging in the sun instead of toiling over a noisy lawnmower or hedgetrimmer? Your grass cuttings and other clippings will usually be disposed of in your brown wheelie bin to keep your costs to a minimum. We can also remove excess waste at the following rates. To ensure that all of our green waste is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way, we take it to the Forth Resource Management recycling centre at Braehead where it is recycled into high quality compost and topsoil.
