maintenance

Often at the heart of a garden, the lawn is under increasing attack from pests, over enthusiastic cutting, drought and mean spirited water companies. If the RHS prediction is correct, changes to our weather will mean the traditional English lawn will find life increasingly difficult.

A full lawn maintenance programme can be undertaken to include scarification, aeration and weed control.

Scarification breaks down the layer of thatch. If left uncontrolled, thatch smoothers new grass shoots and becomes a growing haven for moss. Aeration introduces small holes into your lawn enabling moisture and nutrients to permeate the root zone, whilst allowing rainwater to drain more readily - avoiding wet spots or pooling. This is also a good time to add fertilisers and top dressing if needed.

General maintenance.

Whether you need a hedge trimmed, autumn leaves cleared or a tree felled, all can be done with the minimum of fuss and interruption to you. All we need is access to the site, as all tools are petrol powered - so no need for electrical access. All waste material is removed from site.

Pruning of shrubs is seasonal so will need to be scheduled for the right time of year.
