Garden Maintenance
I will take care of your garden as if it were my own
I offer the following Gardening Services
What It Is and What It Could Be
Flowerbeds
Lets begin with a classic example in the garden that so many may have already faced: The overgrown flowerbed. You only turned your back for a second ... and suddenly there it was! It can happen to anyone. But, all is not lost - no matter the circumstances (hope I don't regret saying that!) - and we can win the ground back.

Hedge Trimming
Moving along to a subject some take great pride in - and others may not be too happy to tackle: The hedge. Be it a lack of time or the trepidation of heights and power tools - simply set up a hedge fund; and give me a shout. I'll sort it all out!

Patio Clearing
There are many areas on many properties that have been neglected or simply forgotten about over time. Areas that may have been designed and developed for relaxation or as a feature in the garden, that have now become overgrown or fallen into disuse due to a lack of time or ability in maintaining these once beauty spots. These are areas I love to get my hands dirty in.
Pre-Tenancy Garden Tidy
A picture says a 1000 words - and none-more-so than the following garden tidy and trim. Prior to letting a property, I was enlisted to sort out the gardens at the former home of a very elderly gentleman. The gardens had not been tended to for about 3 years due to his ill health. If you are facing a similar situation and are despairing: Don't! Every problem has a solution, and I just may be yours.

Back Garden Before
Had this not been the UK, I would have had serious misgivings about what creatures may lurk in the over/undergrowth.
Back Garden After
I had truly underestimated the amount of work this tiny garden was going to need. In just over a week, I had filled the green garden refuse bin twice (and about 8 builders bags) with vegetation. Oh and: also felled a rather massive Leilandii tree visible in the "Before" pics.
Turfing
In the event that a lawn has become a haven for weeds and moss, the better option may be to start over. Or if it is just a patch of bare ground, fresh turf may just be the ticket to improving your garden. But do keep in mind that a lawn does require a good deal of attention and neglect could take you back to square one in a short space of time. So, I am happy to help lay it and maintain it for you.

Before
In this instance, weeds had taken a strong hold and the surface had a slope that I set out to correct as best as circumstances would allow. Once the old turf had been cleared, a few unexpected surprises appeared: one of them being several large rocky outcrops that may have dictated the slope I worked on correcting. I cut these away.
