WELCOME TO ROBSON GARDEN MAINTENANCE
Hello, I’m Gordon Robson
I’m the owner of Robson Garden Maintenance. My wife Cheryl and I started the company in 2017 to provide reliable, professional garden maintenance to customers across Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Today, our teams maintain hundreds of private gardens on organised local routes.
You may have received one of our leaflets, seen one of our vans, or found us through Google. Either way, you’re probably trying to decide whether Robson Garden Maintenance is the right company to look after your garden.
I built this website to help you make that decision.
We believe you should be able to understand how we work, what we charge and what you can expect from our team before you ever contact us.
Reliable Service
You can count on us to turn up and keep your garden looking its best.

Friendly, experienced and fully trained in all aspects of garden maintenance.

Transparent Pricing

Our aim is simple
IS RGM THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOUR GARDEN?
We’re not the right garden maintenance company for everybody.
Our service is designed for customers who want their garden looked after consistently, professionally and with as little hassle as possible.
Want regular weekly or fortnightly garden maintenance
Have a medium or larger garden requiring ongoing care
Value reliability and continuity
Prefer clear pricing and itemised invoicing

RGM is likely to be
a good fit if you:
Only need occasional short grass cuts

Need to choose a different exact visit day each time
Are primarily looking for the lowest possible hourly rate
Are unable to keep lawns clear of dog waste before our visits
RGM is likely not to be

OUR PRICING
Local routes. Better service. Better value.
By organising our gardens into local routes we reduce travel time, keep our teams productive and keep our pricing competitive. It also helps us provide a more consistent service for our customers and means more of the time you pay for is spent working in gardens rather than travelling between them.

Alison Betts - Midlothian
I can't recommend Gus and Max highly enough. They brought expertise and a great work ethic to our cottage garden, restoring it to perfect order. Not only are they knowledgeable and friendly, but they are also incredibly reliable and client-focused. I feel so lucky to have found such a great team to maintain my garden.
