Working Scone plots, week in, week out.
Coverage across PH2
Scone is just over the Tay from Perth and a straightforward run for us from Crieff. We work across PH2 in New Scone, Old Scone, the estate fringes, Balbeggie, Guildtown and the farmland between, and we are in the Perth area most weeks so scheduling is easy.
Response times to Scone
Free site visits within a few days, fixed written quotes back the same or next day, and booked works typically starting inside one to three weeks. Urgent safety work — a limb down, a fence flattened by an easterly off the Tay — is prioritised within our Mon–Sun 8am–6pm working hours.
Familiarity with Scone property types
Scone has grown a great deal, and the garden work reflects that. Around the older village and the estate fringes there are mature specimen trees, established hedges and generous plots. Across the newer developments there are hundreds of gardens built to a developer's budget: thin topsoil over compacted subsoil, standard panel fencing, and turf that gave up in its first summer. We do plenty of both.
What we do most in Scone.
Every service linked below is a full, self-contained page — pricing basis, methods, materials, guarantees and FAQs.
Lawn Installation
The most requested job in Scone's newer streets — strip out the failed developer turf, decompact, add real topsoil, lay quality turf on prepared ground.
Read full service pageFencing
Replacing rocked and rotted panel runs with concrete-set, pressure-treated close-board that will not need doing again in five years.
Read full service pageTree Surgery
Mature beech, lime and sycamore on the older plots and estate fringes — climbed and reduced, or removed, with waste chipped on site.
Read full service pageGravel Drives & Pathways
Full-depth gravel drives and parking areas with edging and drainage, popular on the larger PH2 plots out towards Balbeggie.
Read full service pageLow-Maintenance Gardens
Practical layouts for busy family plots — less lawn, more usable space, and far less weekend work.
Read full service pageHedge Trimming & Removal
Beech, laurel and leylandii boundaries kept within their footprint, with all cuttings collected and removed.

We fix new-build gardens properly
Not another roll of turf on the same compacted ground. We deal with the cause, which is why the lawn stays good after the first summer.
Everything from one team
Tree work, stumps, fencing, drives, turf and planting — one quote, one crew, one sequence that makes sense.

Scone plots we work on.
New-build and recent estate housing
Small-to-medium rear gardens on compacted ground, thin topsoil, panel fencing already leaning. Standard work: proper lawn reconstruction, fence replacement in concrete, and a layout that suits a family rather than a brochure.
Established village housing (Old Scone, Perth Road)
Larger plots with mature trees and hedges planted decades ago, now needing reduction, deadwooding or removal, plus borders that have been shaded out and want replanting.
Estate-fringe and rural plots
Big gardens backing onto parkland and farmland, with specimen trees, long boundaries and gravel drives that need real depth and drainage.
Balbeggie, Guildtown and the farming edge
Exposed plots with shelter belts, stock and post-and-rail fencing, and long hedge runs on a proper cutting cycle.
What comes up in Scone.
Developer topsoil that grows nothing
The single most common complaint we hear in Scone. An inch of screened topsoil over a compacted pan means water sits, roots cannot penetrate and grass thins to moss within two seasons.
Panel fencing versus Tay-valley wind
Easterlies coming up the valley find every weak fence on an exposed boundary. Concrete-set close-board is the difference between an annual repair and a fence you forget about.
Mature trees close to newer houses
Where new streets have been built up against established boundaries, big trees that were fine in a field are now overhanging roofs, gutters and gardens. Reduction, deadwooding or removal — often with a consent check first.
Poor surface drainage
Flat, heavily built ground with little fall. Lawns sit wet, gravel disappears into mud, and paving pools. Drives here get a proper sub-base and a designed outfall.
Small gardens, big hedges
Leylandii planted as a quick screen ten years ago and now nine feet wide. Staged reduction, or removal and replacement with fencing, is the usual honest answer.
