What our satisfied customers say

We contacted Stewart at Edinburgh Micro Diggers as we wanted drainage for our grass at the rear of the house, major water ponding issues! A job which would've taken weeks to dig by hand was carried out in hours saving time and money. The Micro Digger fitted up the side of our house with inches to spare on each side but Stewart made it look easy.

Great service and great communication.

James Mcquaker Gilmerton, Edinburgh.

We required to have our rear garden levelled and because of the quality of Stewart’s website and the positive reviews we decided to contact Stewart. The pricing was explained to us and it was clear in the quote how the price would change depending on the amount of skips required. We were not to be disappointed, Stewart and his son were very professional, courteous and did a brilliant job. Stewart made sure the tight access space was well protected as were all the paving slabs. He organised the 2 skips we required and he removed 17 tonnes of soil and levelled the rear garden. This was done in the timescale and price that had been agreed. They cleaned up after them and no damage had been done to the paving slabs. Would I use Stewart again? Absolutely. Would I recommend him to family and friends? Absolutely.

Stewart and Kyle levelled our garden last week so can build a garden hut and install an inset trampoline. Communication and knowledge fantastic, excellent tidy job would definitely recommend and will use again when required. All the best Lucy and Simon.

Lucy Law Barnton, Edinburgh.

Stewart was prompt in responding and managed to fit us in quickly to level out our garden. Turned up on time and also took a couple of trees out for me. Stewart left the place clean and tidy and advised on the next stage. Delighted with the result and would use again for any groundworks. Would highly recommend.

Hey just want to say Stewart is a wizzard on the digger and kept me right at all times with my "view " on things and actually is wise due to both experience and ability and i hope we can remain friends cos he's a great person. I have no doubts whatsoever at recommending him for his skill and wisdom and it was a pleasure encountering him ,in this day and age of sometimes people come short ... not the case here, this man is an expert and I like that and i like him .

I hired Edinburgh Micro Diggers to excavate and level my back garden. Stewart was extremely helpful coming out to look at my project before giving me what I felt to be a very fair quote. During the job they worked in a very professional manner with a friendly and helpful attitude throughout. I would definitely use their service again and would certainly recommend them to others.

David Green Corstorphine, Edinburgh.

In August I needed a back garden site cleared of 3 trees and up to 20 large rooted shrubs with emphasis on root removal and levelling of the area. I was fortunate to come across the testimonials of Edinburgh Microdiggers and I must say the comments reflected the professionalism quality and reliability of this company. On phoning Stewart I immediately felt he interfaced well with people. Access via side gate was tight and Stewart agreed to visit and if workable to give a quote - he works on a fixed price for the job. I was happy with the quote and timescale - text messages ensured I knew where I stood at all times. Getting the work done by Stewart was a really good experience and, relative to previous experience with others, his personal characteristics, punctuality and reliability was a delight. When he finished he left no mess and everyone was impressed with the results. I would definitely use Stewart again - he took exceptional care not to damage anything when negotiating the small margins when entering and leaving.

Dr Finlay Mackenzie CBE Maybury Drive, Edinburgh

Great friendly service. Highly recommend.

Greg McDowall Gilmerton, Edinburgh

Did some excavation work for us. Stewart was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He got the job done quickly and to a really high standard. Would definitely recommend.

Gayle Davidson Balerno

Quick response to enquiry and on time as agreed. Stewart is very professional and a wizard with his machinery. Thoroughly recommended.

Grant Innes The Grange, Edinburgh

I was so lucky to stumble upon Edinburgh Micro Diggers. I wanted to transform my garden and I am beyond pleased with the results. Stewart is a hard working professional, nothing is to much trouble and has been exceptionally helpful throughout with great ideas. Thank you Stewart.

Fiona Teyhan Bearsden, Glasgow

Stewart has done an amazing job clearing a skips worth of soil from our back garden and levelling the area. He got everything completed (including sorting the skip) in a timely manner and his communication was great. What I really appreciated was that he pointed out potential issues with moving the digger and truck over our slabs and then took additional measures to ensure the slabs remained intact. A fabulous job and I would highly recommend Edinburgh Micro Diggers.

Gary Fairmilehead, Edinburgh

Stewart was great - got back to us quickly with any queries we had, was a fair price and did the job to a high standard. Would definitely recommend and use Edinburgh Micro Diggers again.

Kim Mackay Hillend, Edinburgh

I'd like to say how pleased I am with the work which Stewart and his son did in my garden. It was a particularly difficult task removing matted bamboos roots along a wall. I would not hesitate in recommending him.

John Brown Craigleith, Edinburgh.

Extremely impressed with Stewart, did a great job in really challenging circumstances. It was a big excavation, foundations, and additional drainage - carried out during a very wet spell and involving sticky/heavy clay. Truly grim conditions, but he kept going and completed the job to a high standard and managed the changes along the way superbly. A trustworthy, hard working, reliable, and quality tradesman. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again; and would not consider using anyone else.

Axel Thomson Straiton, Edinburgh

I would highly recommend this Company. They were punctual and very obliging. I needed the rockery cleared and my raised bed taken away along with a bed of overgrown shrubs. They completed the job without damaging the rest of the garden. I was well impressed. They completed the work to a high standard. Thanks once again.

Brenda McCafferty Parkhead, Edinburgh.

I can’t thank you (and Jim) enough for the great work putting in my extension foundations. Not only a great price but your speed, quality of work and professionalism have left me very happy and glad I went with you for the job. I will be in touch very soon for the solum work and you will without doubt be my go to guy for any future ground works I need carried out.

Gavin Whyte Morningside, Edinburgh

Stewart did excellent work clearing our back garden. It was a difficult job, tight access and in winter conditions but Stewart did a brilliant job. High quality work and a lovely person too. I'd definitely use him again. Thanks Stewart!

Kirsty Lynagh Portobello, Edinburgh.

Jim and Stewart were absolutely fantastic from start to finish with all they did for our groundworks, garden, decking and patio. They were professional, well-priced, and went above and beyond to ensure an extremely high standard of work throughout. I would highly recommend them to anyone. We are so pleased with all the end results. We found them great, hard-working and kind people. Five stars from us.

Kirsty Forgan Dreghorn, Edinburgh

I contacted Edinburgh Micro Diggers when we urgently required some work done as a result of another contractor bringing work forward.

Within a couple of hours of my sending an email I had a response, a visit the following day and the work carried out within a few days. Really pleased with the work, the very reasonable cost and the promptness, and would definitely recommend.

Alan Whittet Morningside, Edinburgh

Stewart, Jim (and Kyle at the weekend) dug out and poured the foundations for our 3.6 X 5.7m extension. From initial contact through to the end Stewart was always prompt at replying to my messages.

They know their stuff and gave me some really good general guidance on my semi self-build project. They started early Friday and were done and dusted (and all cleaned up) by Saturday lunchtime.

They're a really friendly and professional bunch and I'm happy to recommend them.

John Faulds Hillend

Stewart was very professional and helped us out to complete a job to remove 20 tonnes of earth and replace with 16 tonnes of Type-1 hardcore for our driveway. It was a bit of push to organise the skips to get them in an out in time for the Type-1 that Stewart arranged for us. Overall, it was a great job and I would highly recommend Edinburgh Micro Diggers.

Simon Salter Cockenzie

We love our patio. We have a small courtyard garden that we wanted paved and the levels changed to fit with a new patio door. Stewart and Jim were great, they came to visit the site before starting work, sent me photos of previous jobs, suggested paving slabs and suppliers and ways of laying the paving and dealt with problems that arose during the build. We are super happy with the workmanship and the drainage in the courtyard. Everything was delivered within budget and on time. Importantly Jim and Stewart are really lovely blokes who it’s a pleasure to have working in your home.

Tana and Simon Portobello

I strongly recommend Edinburgh Micro Diggers. We needed 20 tonnes of rubble removed from our back garden, and the only access point was through a tight doorway at the back of the garage. We hoped that Microdiggers would be perfect for the job, and it turned out they were. Stewart arranged hire of the skips and turned up at 8am with his Diggers. He cleared the entire 20 tonnes, which included a solid concrete wall, in a single day.

With only one short break for lunch, he even had time to clear a few extra bits and pieces and to smarten up the areas he had cleared. The place was virtually spotless when he left. On top of that, his charges were extremely good value for money. I doubt I could have hired the equipment that he used for much less. I was extremely satisfied with the job that he did, and would recommend him to anyone that needs stuff cleared or moved, whether you have tight access or not.

GCK Comiston, Edinburgh

We found Stewart and Jim very informative and clear with upfront costings, providing good advice working to our budget. Two genuine men who were very efficient, left no mess and took a pride in their work. They listened to their customer and we were extremely pleased with the end result. We would not hesitate in recommending Edinburgh Micro Diggers.

John and Elaine Mortonhall Park Green

I just wanted to say thank you for completing the work on my drive yesterday.

I'm thrilled with how it all looks now, as it has been a lot of work to get it to this stage.

Many thanks for your quick responses to my questions etc. It's been a really good experience which hasn't happened often (unfortunately). I therefore would always commend somebody who does a very good job.

Many thanks again - appreciated
👏🏽

Donna West Barns

We recently used the services of Edinburgh Micro Diggers to clear a large overgrown border at the side of our house which we had inherited from previous owners. They carried out the task in a very professional manner, from estimate to completion they organised skip hire which arrived and was removed on the same day.

They cleared the entire border, levelled it and even removed tree roots and left our pathway spotless on completion. First class service - we would recommend them as a reliable professional and competitively priced company.

Mr Burnett Fairmilehead, Edinburgh

“I recently called in Edinburgh Micro Diggers, to estimate constructing a concrete base for a garden room. I had previously attempted, unsuccessfully to try and dig this by hand. Access is fairly limited to the area.

Stewart and his team, carried out this work, carefully taking care of the surrounding trees and garden. The whole job was completed quickly, on time and neatly tided up on completion. I am very happy with the finished result. I highly recommend Edinburgh Micro Diggers, they are very nice to deal with, the job done to a very high standard, and I would most certainly use there service again.”

Richard A. Craigentinny

Stewart of Edinburgh Micro Diggers completed the foundation works efficiently and precisely.

He took great care in ensuring that our landscaped areas around the foundations were retained in their current condition whilst undertaking the works.

We were very pleased his workmanship and would highly recommend him.

I. Reid Dalkeith

Very professional, work delivered on time and on budget, I will definitely use Stewart’s services again. I highly recommend! Thanks very much!

Lucia Balerno

Fantastic job done by Stewart, digging out around 90 tonnes of soil from myself and my neighbours garden. Job well done on time and under budget, no hesitation reccomending Stewart Thank you!

Gary Mellon Gorebridge

For some years we had two mounds of earth, on slopes at the bottom of our garden. Because of access difficulties to the site we considered it impractical to have the earth moved mechanically. Moving it by hand was considered, but continually postponed. We then became of Edinburgh Micro Diggers, having seen their van in a street close by. They came and assessed the work to be done, accepting the site was not ideal, but manageable.

The work was then carried out with skill and attention to detail. We were consulted at every stage of the process when decisions had to be made. In the end 18 tonnes of earth and rubble were removed from the site. We were extremely pleased with the high quality of the work and the finished look to the site. We would have no hesitation in recommending Edinburgh Micro Diggers to anyone requiring work of this nature.
