Garden Collection
Beautiful gardens, thoughtfully maintained — kept to a standard rather than merely tidied.
There is a difference between a garden that has been cut and a garden that is being looked after. The first is a job done; the second is a relationship with a place across a season. We work to the second, which means noticing what is coming — the hedge that wants taking down harder this year, the bed that has outgrown its edge — rather than only what is in front of us today.
What it protects
The shape of it
A hedge left a season too long has to be cut back into old wood, and conifers will not break from old wood at all. What should have been a trim becomes a bare patch that takes three years to fill, if it ever fills.
The lawn
Grass cut too short in a dry spell scorches off and hands the gaps straight to moss and weed. Cutting height and timing are most of the difference between a lawn and a green patch, and neither of them costs anything to get right.
The plants you paid for
Pruning at the wrong point in the year takes off next season’s flowers before they have formed. Most disappointing shrubs are not sickly — they are being cut at the wrong time, every year, by somebody working to the clock.
What it covers
- LawnsCut, edged and collected. Height set to the season rather than the calendar, and never scalped in a dry spell.
- Edges, kept trueLawn edges cut hard against beds and paths. It is the one detail that makes a garden read as kept rather than merely cut, and it is the first thing to go when somebody is in a hurry.
- Hedges and topiaryCut to line and face. Formal shapes kept true, informal ones kept in character, and the work timed around nesting season — between March and August it is an offence to disturb an active nest, and we would rather not in any case.
- Beds and bordersWeeded, edged and mulched. Cutting back and dividing at the right point in the year, not whenever we happen to be there.
- PruningShrubs and small trees pruned to the habit of the plant. Anything needing a chainsaw at height goes to a qualified arborist — we will tell you rather than attempt it.
- Paths, steps and pavingCleared of moss and algae before they turn slippery. Shaded garden paving goes green long before a drive does, and garden steps are where people actually fall.
- Pots and plantersWatered, fed, dead-headed and replanted for the season. Containers dry out faster than any bed and are the first thing on a terrace to look neglected.
- Seasonal workLeaf clearance, winter tidying, spring preparation — and the bulb planting in November that decides what March looks like.
- Everything we cut leaves with usNo heap behind the shed and no bags stacked by the gate for you to deal with on your own time.
Perfect for
Families who actually use their garden, and want it kept in genuine order rather than merely tidied.
How often
Seasonal deep cleans, with lawn and hedge care running through the growing season.
Fortnightly through the growing season, monthly through winter, is the pattern that suits most gardens.
Everything we use is safe around pets, children and planting. Nothing we apply to your home should cost you your lawn or worry you about the dog.
What it costs
Garden work is priced by the hour, because no two gardens take the same time. Regular visits cost less per visit than one-off rescues. We measure the property from survey data before we quote, so the figure we give you is worked out from your building rather than guessed from the kerb. Every quote is confirmed on site before any work starts, and we will tell you if we think you do not need the work.
