Regular Garden Maintenance
🛠️
Regular maintenance keeps your garden in excellent condition, avoiding the need for disruptive, costly “rescue mission” visits. We maintain lawns, borders, shrubs and overall presentation, then keep it ticking over on a schedule that suits your garden and the season.
If a garden has been left to lapse, we may recommend a longer visit in the first instance to bring it back under control. This is still part of regular garden maintenance and is designed to set a solid baseline before moving onto ongoing visits.
Weekly Or Fortnightly?
Maintenance visits are scheduled on a weekly or fortnightly basis year-round. Our minimum visit length is four hours and many gardens are best maintained with four-hour or eight-hour visits, depending on garden size and the standard you want to maintain.
Where a weekly four-hour visit is more time than your garden requires, we can recommend a fortnightly visit instead, following assessment by our lead gardener, so there is enough time to make meaningful progress and leave the garden properly finished.
Regular garden maintenance is ongoing plant care, not a one-size-fits-all tidy. Many shrubs and perennials need pruning, shaping and dead-heading at specific times of year to support flowering, regrowth and overall plant health. We plan work around seasonal windows and conditions, rather than cutting everything back whenever it suits.
Some tasks are weather-dependent. Where it matters, we avoid pruning and cutting back in poor conditions, as damp weather can increase the chance of problems on fresh cuts for certain plants.

Wildlife And Seasonal Checks
We work with the garden as it is, including seasonal and legal considerations.
All wild birds, their nests and eggs are protected by law. If we identify active nesting in a hedge, shrub or climber, we will not disturb it and we will schedule work around it.
