Keep your lawn in pristine condition with our professional mowing, edging and feeding services. A well-maintained lawn forms the foundation of any beautiful garden, providing a lush green backdrop for your plants and outdoor areas. We tailor our lawn care approach to your grass type and the season, ensuring healthy growth throughout the year. From spring feeding to autumn scarification, we'll keep your lawn looking immaculate whilst promoting strong root development and disease resistance.
Maintain the shape, health and beauty of your hedges and shrubs with our expert trimming and pruning services. Regular maintenance keeps hedges dense and neat whilst encouraging healthy growth and preventing overgrowth that can damage fences or encroach on boundaries. We work with both formal hedges that require precise shaping and informal shrub borders that need a lighter touch. Our skilled team understands the best times to prune different species, ensuring your plants thrive whilst maintaining their natural character.
Transform overgrown or neglected borders into neat, colourful features with our comprehensive bed maintenance. We provide thorough weeding of beds, borders and pathways, removing unwanted plants at the root to prevent regrowth. Mulching suppresses future weeds whilst improving soil health and moisture retention. We'll also deadhead flowering plants to encourage prolonged blooming, tidy perennials, and divide overcrowded plants when needed, keeping your borders looking their absolute best.
Enjoy year-round interest in your garden with carefully selected seasonal bedding and planting schemes. Whether you want vibrant spring bulbs, summer colour, autumn interest or winter structure, we'll recommend and plant varieties that suit your garden's conditions and your preferences. Our local knowledge means we understand which plants thrive in South Dorset's climate, ensuring your garden looks wonderful throughout the seasons.
Reclaim overgrown areas and restore order to neglected gardens with our comprehensive clearance services. We remove unwanted plants, clear debris, prune back overgrowth, and tackle areas that have become unmanageable. Whether you've recently moved into a property with an overgrown garden or simply need help getting on top of maintenance that's got away from you, we'll transform your outdoor space into a manageable, attractive garden.
Promote healthy growth and abundant flowering with our expert pruning services. Proper pruning at the right time of year is essential for the health and appearance of trees, roses and climbing plants.
