🌿 Gardener in Polbeth, West Lothian

About Gardeners

A gardener maintains outdoor spaces - mowing, pruning, weeding, planting, and keeping things tidy through the seasons.

A regular local gardener takes the effort out of keeping your plot in good shape year-round.

Be clear upfront about what's included in a visit - mowing, edging, weeding, and pruning are all different conversations.

About West Lothian

West Lothian is a council area in the heart of the central belt, sitting between Edinburgh to the east, Falkirk to the north, and North Lanarkshire to the west.

It is a county of contrasts: historic royal burghs like Linlithgow and ancient villages like Torphichen sit alongside the new town of Livingston and the former mining and shale oil communities that shaped the landscape in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Livingston is the county's main centre — Scotland's fifth-largest settlement — but West Lothian's character is defined as much by its smaller towns: Bathgate, Broxburn, Whitburn, and Linlithgow each have their own distinct identity.

The oil shale industry, pioneered here in the 1850s by James Young, left a lasting mark on the landscape in the form of distinctive pink bings — the waste heaps of the shale works — that have become recognised landmarks in their own right.

West Lothian has excellent transport connections, with the M8 and M9 crossing the county, two rail lines linking it to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and Edinburgh Airport on its eastern edge.
