Reviving the vitality and freshness of most surfaces in a garden.
Mowing grass is the most time consuming and important part of its care.
It is wise to make sure it is done regularly and properly throughout our spring, summer and autumn months.
Hedges require formative pruning upon planting, then regular trimming to keep them neat and healthy thereafter.
The frequency of ongoing trimming varies depending on the type of hedge.
Weeds are not only unsightly, they are also a drain on the finite natural resources and nutrients your garden has to offer which grass and other plants need to thrive and flourish.
Weeds can be relentless. Sometimes it feels like they have are picked, sprayed and destroyed several times over, but they return stronger than ever.
A fullsome, lush lawn is the centre-piece of most gardens and important part of other types of grounds.
It doesn't happen by magic though; so every now and then it is going to need some extra love and attention to keep it in supreme condition.
Leaves on a tree are beautiful. Fallen autumn leaves can also be beautiful.
Leaves can block and clog drains, gutters, lawns, paths and driveways.
Hard and soft outdoor surfaces can often be repaired rather than replaced.
We can advise on the best course of action for affected surfaces.
When a tree or plant has outgrown the space it was intended to occupy in a garden, it is only natural to want to reduce it in size. Pruning, pollarding and dead-wooding are effective techniques.
Thorough and professional bed care can include soil testing, weeding, dead-heading, fertilising, dividing, edging, mulching, cultivating, pruning and covering.
Keeping public areas of grounds free of litter and other rubbish is very important for many reasons. Aesthetically it is obviously critical, particulary as part of portraying the right values for a business's brand. It is also vital from a health and safety and environmental perspective.
Much man-made litter is non-biodegradable and can hang around forever, creating problems for wildlife and pets.
Gutters are an integral part a building's well-being. They serve to control the flow of rainwater around a building to protect its roof, walls, foundation and landscape.
They can also become enticing breeding grounds and homes for pests, rodents, mold and honeycombs from bee infestations.
The outdoor surfaces around a building are constantly exposed to the elements, dirt, dust and algae.
Pressure washing and chemical cleaning can revive the vitality and freshness of most surfaces.
Snow fall and ice during our winter months can seriously disrupt day-to-day life around buildings; for some more than others.
But it can also be a major safety hazard for employees and customers alike.
Grounds can become an unruly wilderness for many different reasons, and depending on the extent of its neglect.
We provide a grounds clearance service to all types of businesses and public sector organisations, restoring neglected spaces and premises to a more manageable and presentable condition.
Maintaining grounds of all types and sizes varies greatly throughout our four seasons. We provide expert advice and assistance, tailored to the demands of grounds individually and designed to suit your objectives as its owner and the budget you are prepared or able to commit.
Spring is an exciting season outdoors. It brings the need to focus on planting and cleaning in preparation for summer, while keep an eye out for late season frost and deadheading.
