Looking for reliable bricklayers & landscapers in Tranent? We cover Tranent and nearby Ormiston, Elphinstone, Macmerry and Pencaitland from our base in Loanhead – family homes with gardens that work hard and need low-maintenance hard landscaping.

Tranent sits on a ridge above the Forth, and it has grown quickly, with large new developments around the town alongside older streets in the centre and the former mining villages around it. Most of the gardens we see here belong to busy families: they need space for children to play, somewhere to sit when the sun comes out and as little maintenance as possible.

Porcelain patios, well-built monoblock, good edging and fencing that won't need replacing in a few years.

Built for the ridge

Family patios

Wider patios than builders usually provide, laid in easy-care porcelain, with a step down to the lawn and a path to the shed or bins.

Raised beds, low walls around patios and repairs to older walls in the town centre and villages.

What affects the cost of a garden in Tranent

The biggest factors are size and how much ground has to come out. New-build gardens on Tranent's estates usually need the builder's slabs and compacted topsoil removed before anything goes down, which adds a day or two of groundwork but is the reason the finished patio and lawn last. Fencing costs depend on the number of sides and how exposed the plot is: gardens on the higher, open side of town are worth fencing more strongly. Driveway extensions depend on depth of dig, edging and drainage, plus the council's dropped kerb fees if the entrance needs widening. We price every element separately, so you can choose what to do first.
