We bring gardens to life.
One-off tidy-up
Need a one-off gardening job done? Maybe preparing your property for sale? Tidying up a rental? Just want to look outside and love what you see?
Garden maintenance
Has your garden become a chore? Modern life is busy and for a lot of people, with the best will in the world, there just isn’t time for gardening. For others, the garden has been a joy but is now a burden.
We can work with you on a regular basis, with the number and frequency of visits determined by the garden’s needs and your budget.
Hedge & shrub trimming
Trimming and topiary needs to be timed just right. Before the summer heat, when new growth has started to harden, not in the rain. So, how do you get those nice straight hedges and round topiary balls? Right tools, sound experience
We love what we do

Time to mulch?
We use organic ramial wood mulch on most of our gardens. Aged for about six months. What’s ramial wood? It’s the wood from the branches of trees, as opposed to the bark. Have you noticed bark nuggets take forever to break-down into soil? Ramial wood mulch doesn’t. 6-12 months and you’ve got soil provided the mulch has been chipped correctly. It’s because of the Carbon:Nitrogen ratio. Phew! Ignore the science if you want but get that mulch happening.
