Care for your garden

Tree pruning, hedges & weeding.
Start with a single tree.

Tell us which part needs attention.
We will agree the scope of work together.

01

Tree pruning

We look at how the branches have grown and ask what shape you would like to keep. Jobs can start with a single garden tree.

02

Hedge & shrub trimming

We discuss the height and finish before shaping hedges and shrubs. You can also ask about trimming just one section.

03

Mowing & weeding

Depending on the area and the condition of the growth, we use mowing equipment or weed by hand.

Garden design and construction, too.

Ask us about bamboo fencing, stone walls, gravel work and garden design, as well as pruning, trimming, mowing and other general garden work. We do not undertake work requiring heavy machinery.

Pest treatment & wasp nests

We also offer pest-control spraying and wasp nest removal. We check the species and location before explaining the work we can undertake and its cost.

Advice on everyday garden care
