  1. winterJan · Feb

    Pruning while dormant

    Fruit trees, espaliers and summer-flowering shrubs we prune now: no leaves, no sap, and you can see exactly which branch has to go. In February your subscription's first visit comes.

  2. springMarch

    The spring visit

    Cutting back perennials, tidying borders, organic feeding and replanting where it's bare. Once the grass grows, we mow for the first time: high, a third off at most.

  3. springApril · May

    Getting the lawn going

    Scarifying, moss out, overseeding the bare patches. After that mowing in fixed stripes and edging the lawn straight every visit.

  4. summerJune

    The hedge crisp

    After the first growth we cut the hedge along the string line, slightly narrower at the top. First we look for nests. If we find one, that section waits.

    15 March – 15 July nesting season: no heavy pruning, look first, nests come first.

    Second cut and lawn repair

    The hedge goes into winter crisp one more time. We overseed bare patches in the lawn now: the soil is warm and it's raining again.

  7. autumnOctober · November

    Leaf clearing and winter prep

This is how one visit goes

  1. Van parked, gate openElectric, so quiet. Tools and boards go through the gate or round the back.
  2. Mowing and edgingIn straight stripes, then every lawn edge straightened with the edging iron.
  3. Keeping the bordersHoeing, deadheading, trimming back whatever hangs over the path.
  4. Hedge or shrubsIn June and September the hedge along the string line. Otherwise trimming where needed.
  5. Sweeping and clearingPaths and terrace clean, all the green waste in the trailer.
  6. Message with photosTwo photos and what your gardener noticed: a sick box plant, a loose tile, a nest.

The same face every visit.

“After three visits I know where the crocuses are and which corner is always wet. That saves you explaining and me searching.”

Xander drives his fixed route on Mon and Tue: over seventy gardens in North and East. If he's ill or on holiday, Manon comes, who knows your garden from the notes and the photos.

Who is your gardener?

Mowing, cutting, sowing, clearing.

First a garden scan. Twenty minutes, free.

Your gardener walks round, measures the depth and asks what you want to keep doing yourself. A few days later we email your monthly price.
