SERVICES

Covering a wide range of gardening services, with each one to the highest standard

Lawn Mowing & Edging

Regularly mowing and edging the lawn is not only great for visual appeal, but is also essential for the health of the grass. Keeping the grass at the correct height for the season helps to ensure the grass remains strong, the roots stay healthy, and disease is minimised. 


Beds, Borders, Weeding & Pruning

Beds, borders, driveways and footpaths - Just a few of the many areas that can become populated with a variety of weeds and unwanted growth. As a result flowers can struggle to thrive due to a reduction of essential nutrients, and general paved areas begin to look unsightly. Keeping on top of seasonal pruning, clearing unwanted growth, and weeding is essential in order to maintain a thriving garden space.

Leaf Blowing

Leaves falling from trees signals a change of season. While it's a natural part of the ongoing cycle of the tree, there are occasions and locations where fallen leaf removal is important. Wet leaves can become slippery causing a safety risk. Leaves covering a lawn can deprive grass of sunlight. Leaves can also harbour pests and diseases. Composting/disposal is important for a multitude of reasons.

Strimming & Brush Cutting

Some areas of the garden can be left to overgrow which can make it very difficult to keep in control of with a set of lawn shears and a mower. This is where a heavy duty strimmer/brush cutter will prove vitally important, clearing brush and smartening up borders.

Hedge & Small Tree Trimming

Hedges and trees capture pollution, reduce noise, shelter wildlife, and form a boundary. So it's important to keep them in good shape. Occasional trimming (once or twice a year) of established hedges and trees keeps them dense and compact resulting in increased health and visual appeal.

Patio & Driveway Pressure Washing

A new patio and/or driveway is always something to admire. Over time excess moisture, a lack of sunlight, and atmospheric pollution can introduce green/black contaminants. High power washing can resore a patio/driveway to its former glory. Then application of a high performance inhibitor will prevent regrowth for up to 12 months.

Complete Garden Clearance

With busier lifestyles, longer working hours, and without the correct tools to hand our gardens can be left to grow out of control. As a result these previously tidy and welcoming spaces make way for weeds and unwanted growth, resulting in garden spaces that begin to look untidy, sad, and unwelcoming. Turn that around with a Complete Garden Clearance.

Garden Waste Disposal

Where possible home composting of garden waste is the preferred method because it saves time and money whilst benefiting the environment. However, if composting isn't possibile then dispoal via a local recycling centre with a designated garden waste processing/recycling facility is an ecologically friendly option. 

Lawn Scarification

Over time thatch will accumulate until it prohibits nutrients, water, and air from penetrating the soil. Grass will shallow root, moss will start to grow, and fungal disease may spore. This is why it's so important to scarify the lawn at least once a year.

Lawn Hollow Tine Aeration

Gravity, foot traffic, lawn mowing, and even rain can compact soil enough that a reduction of nutrients, air, and water reach the rootzone. As a result grass turns brown along with poor drainage. To resolve this, and improve the overall lawn health, hollow tine aerating the lawn at least once a year is required.

Lawn Renovations

A full lawn renovation is a process which requires mowing, soil aeration, scarification, overseeding, topdressing, and then lightly watering to keep the soil moist. For a new, healthy lawn in under 6 weeks this is certainly a worthwhile investment.

Small-Engine Servicing/Diagnostics

Keeping on top of the essential maintenance schedule of a hard working, regularly used engine can often be off-puttingHowever, servicing and maintenance is essential in order to see many trouble-free years of use. As a result engines perform better, run quieter, and are less damaging to the environment.

General Repairs & Maintenance

Keeping up with routine maintenance can extend the useful life of equipment, optimize its performance and avoid unexpected failures. Regular inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and parts replacement mean potential problems can be detected and addressed before they become serious. 

Household & Garage Recycling

Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is good for the environment since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to us. Recycling begins at home and doesn't have to end up in a landfill.
