A TIDY GARDEN WITHOUT LOSING YOUR WEEKENDS
Lawns grow back within days of being cut. Weeds return along garden beds. Hedges lose their shape and edges creep back over paths and lawns almost as soon as they’re tidied.
Our gardening service helps you keep on top of these ongoing tasks.
We take care of the jobs that make the biggest difference to how your garden looks, including lawn mowing, edging, weeding, hedge trimming, pruning and general tidy-ups. You can book us for a one-off visit or arrange regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly maintenance.
Every garden is different, so we discuss your priorities and the areas that matter most before the visit and allocate the available time accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What's included in a garden maintenance visit?
A garden maintenance visit typically includes lawn mowing, edging, weeding and general tidy-up. It may also include hedge trimming and pruning, depending on your priorities and the time booked. The exact tasks completed depend on your garden’s condition and the labour hours arranged.
Will I have the same gardener every visit?
We aim to provide the same gardener for recurring bookings wherever possible. Continuity can be affected by illness, leave, availability or scheduling changes. Where a replacement is required, we’ll let you know before the visit.
Do I need to be home during the visit?
No. Many customers arrange access through a side gate, agreed entry point or by leaving instructions in advance. Any access arrangements should be confirmed before the booking.
Do you provide your own equipment?
Yes. Our gardeners bring their own mowers, trimmers and hand tools. Please let us know if your property has specific access requirements or equipment restrictions.
Do you remove green waste?
Green waste removal can be arranged by prior agreement and may involve an additional cost depending on the volume.
Can you take care of an overgrown or neglected garden?
In most cases, yes, though significantly overgrown gardens usually require an initial tidy-up before moving to regular maintenance. Photographs help us recommend a realistic scope and timeframe.
Do you guarantee weeds won't come back?
No gardening service can guarantee weeds won’t return, as regrowth depends on the season, soil and weather. Regular maintenance visits help keep growth under control between services.
