Greensleeves Edinburgh

Greensleeves Edinburgh regularly treat over 600 lawns in the area. Many of our new customers coming from existing customer recommendations. Being part of Greensleeves Lawn Care means we benefit from the backup and support of a national network. The network provides training, products, and expert advice so we can use the latest technologies and techniques to keep your lawn in excellent condition. We may be part of a national network, but we also understand the importance and value of keeping the local touch.

We offer a yearly plan of five treatments, using premium-grade professional products which are only available to our fully certified staff. This ensures you have the lush, green and healthy lawn you have always wanted without the time, expense, and hassle of buying products – which are often difficult to apply without damaging your lawn. With prices starting from as little as £15, our treatments often also work out cheaper than DIY.

In addition to the seasonal treatment plan, we can also provide more specialised lawn care services and advise the best time to schedule the following:

• Aeration
• Scarification
• Lawn care and mowing advice

If you think your lawn is beyond repair (weed, moss-infested, bare, dry or barren) or if you would just like some specialist lawn care advice – contact Tim for a no-obligation free quote, for a lawn which you and your family can enjoy all year round. We look forward to hearing from you.

Q&A with Tim Harrison from Greensleeves Edinburgh and Midlothian

How long have you been with Greensleeves?

Seven years.

Who else is on your team?

My wife Katie, and Fil who is our fantastic lawn operative. You may also catch glimpses of our two boys helping with the labouring element of the mechanical work. They are definitely fair-weather workers though!

Which areas do you cover?

Edinburgh, Balerno, Juniper Green, Currie, Portobello, Penicuik, Roslin, Straiton, Loanhead, Lasswade.

Are you a dog or a cat person? (Or anything else!)

We’ve had cats, dogs, bearded dragons and currently have a large aquarium filled with tropical fish.

What’s the best thing about your job?

Working outdoors is amazing. I feel so lucky to be out in the fresh air all the time. We love getting to see lots of beautiful gardens and meet lots of lovely customers on a daily basis. Receiving positive feedback and recommendation posts on social media make us smile a lot and makes our job even more rewarding.

Why did you choose to specialise in lawns?

We have always loved our own garden and have always been very particular about our lawn. I used to work as a police constable and decided I needed a change in career. I spent a lot of time over the years on our own lawn and was exploring different job alternatives to a career in the police service. Then I came across a Greensleeves Lawn Care franchise that was for sale in the area where we lived. We enquired and were delighted to start within the business four months later. Best decision ever made!

Which is your favourite service station?

We tend to stop off at various local shops for lunch – not a service station but Abigners (coffee shop) in Blackhall is our favourite pit stop. The Cha Cha Cha (chicken, cheese, and chutney) baguette is to die for!

Are you a tea or coffee person? Or something else entirely?

Coffee person – a chilled coffee mid-morning hits the spot.

What are your social media channels?

Facebook is my number one.

If people would like to speak to you, what are the best ways to get in touch?

Message or call my mobile. If I’m busy on a lawn, please leave a message and I’ll get in touch as soon as possible.
