HOUSEKEEPING SUPPORT

Weekly/fortnightly/monthly visits. Flexibility offered to meet all customers' needs

Scheduled visits

Whether you have established lawns with flower beds or a simple patio with pots –

and everything in between - your garden is unique and deserving of attention.

Would you happen to need one-off clearance and/or seasonal maintenance? Perhaps you

have a particular project in mind and are unsure where to turn. Or maybe you are a

keen gardener but without the time or energy to maintain your beloved plot?

Whatever your need, we will offer free initial/ongoing consultation, and provide hands-

on work, offer horticultural advice and guidance and can make referrals to other

specialists.

Small to large plots

In the UK, all birds, their nests and their eggs are protected, by law. Trimming of

hedges and small trees, therefore, requires timely seasonal attention. Often this

entails working in late winter or early spring before the nesting season or waiting until

all birds have fledged and left the nest in May-June.

Small trees, Roses, Flowering shrubs and Climbers produce flowers and berries/fruits

at differing times throughout the season. Depending on whether your plant is a

spring, summer or autumn flowering type, with seasonally sensitive pruning, you can

avoid cutting off flower buds and branches, and enhance the flowering display that each

plant offers and increase the resulting fruits and berries that will feed your garden’s

wildlife.

Seasonal pruning, hedge trimming

Depending on the size of the area covered, work will be done either by hand removal or using a burner, or both. Hourly rate applies. Minimum visit 2hrs.

Driveway and pavement weeding

Bed and Border Maintenance, Plant care, Weeding, Mulching

Getting your garden ready in spring

Will include clearance of winter die-back and

leaf fall and perhaps we can help introduce new plantings for spring colour and

summer blooms.

Tying in any new growth of climbers will provide the stems with support and

encourage them to grow in the direction you want.

Re-edging your lawn will improve the overall effect.

Bed and Border Maintenance, Plant care, Weeding, Mulching

Late spring/early summer tasks

Will include cutting back spring bulb die-back and

putting plant supports in place before the height of the growing season, when long

stemmed plants can become top-heavy and precious plants are vulnerable to

toppling over in adverse weather.

In the height of the growing season, dead-heading and light pruning of shrubs and

flowering plants will keep your shrubs healthy and your summer flowers happy and

blooming, up to the first frosts.

Bed and Border Maintenance, Plant care, Weeding, Mulching

Autumn tidy-ups

Includes cutting back perennials, pruning climbers and

repositioning/repairing plant ties, planting bulbs for spring colour and perennials for

enduring garden interest.

Nature-friendly practices

Spring

By delaying clearance of your garden until late spring, you will be

protecting and promoting the survival of solitary bees and other ground living

beneficial insects that use decaying plant and leaf matter in your garden as habitats

to hibernate and overwinter, until they emerge to feed and reproduce.

Nature-friendly practices

Spring/Summer

By leaving the green leaves of flowering bulbs after the

flowerheads have died, to finish photosynthesizing before cutting the withered

leaves back, your bulbs will grow healthier and stronger, year on year.

Nature-friendly practices

Autumn

By leaving the stems and seed heads, of certain summer flowering

perennial plants to stand over winter, this not only gives your garden some winter

interest, the hollow stems will provide a hiding place for insects and the seed heads

a valuable food source for birds into early spring.

Nature-friendly practices

You may have overgrown shrubs that might have become small trees, outgrown

their allotted space, or worse, are coming to the end of their natural life. We can

advise and attend to the reshaping, cutting back or removal of these once-loved

plants.

You may have an empty unloved space, maybe paved and intended for seating, or

with an old lawn in poor condition, or an existing flower bed that looks tired and

needs attention. We can advise and attend to the improvement and/or extension of

existing beds or positioning and creation of new planting areas either around, (or in

place of) a paved area or lawn.

We will advise and attend to new planting schemes that include year-round interest,

wildlife friendly plants to increase colour and biodiversity, using native shrubs and small

garden trees, that will provide height and dimension to your outdoor space.

Renovation/Redesign/Replanting

No garden is too small, or lacking in potential, for it to become a thing of beauty, something to treasure, especially when you wish to fondly remember someone you have loved and sadly lost.

Let us help you to design and create a unique living, healing, and growing outdoor space. Something to enjoy and nurture you in times of need.
