Most of our garden maintenance customers are on a regular visit schedule (fortnightly, monthly or quarterly), with the work changing through the year. Spring is mulching, splitting and weeding; summer is deadheading, hedge tops and border tidies; autumn is the main hedge cut, leaf clearance and cutting back; winter is structural pruning and planning. You don't have to manage it. We know what needs doing each visit and just get on with it. You get a short note after each visit explaining what we did.
Important to know: we don't cut hedges between March and August unless we've checked them properly first. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it's an offence to intentionally damage or destroy a wild bird's nest while it's in use or being built, and a lot of garden hedges have nests in them during these months. We'll always do a careful nest check before any in-season hedge work and reschedule if we find one. The RSPB recommends only cutting hedges between 1 September and 28 February, so that's when we plan the main hedge cuts.
If your garden has got away from you, whether through illness, a busy year, an inherited property or just life, we can bring it back. Rescue jobs typically take one to three days depending on size and condition, after which most customers move onto regular maintenance to keep it that way. We don't judge the starting point. We just sort it.
A big rescue usually starts with a full clearance: brambles, long grass and overgrown hedges cut back and every bit of green waste taken away by a registered waste carrier. See our garden clearance service
