Edinburgh

Typical new-build gardens in Edinburgh

Gardens can be compact, with shared paths and small front lawns.

Cold winds and compacted till make preparation and steady watering the priorities.

The ground under Edinburgh gardens

The Lothians are largely glacial till over sedimentary and volcanic rock. Fresh plots are typically compacted and stony after building.

Weather and timing in Edinburgh

Drier than the west of Scotland, but cool and windy, especially in spring. Late spring and early autumn suit new turf best.

Turfing in Edinburgh: questions

Is April too early to turf in Edinburgh?

Turf isn't laid on frozen ground, and April can still bring cold snaps. Late spring is usually the safer choice.
