When it’s time to leave a rented property and hand it back over to the estate agency, usually the tenant is obliged to leave garden in good condition. This certainly was not a good condition so we had been asked to tidy it up.
An old apple tree needs a bit of grooming .. but it has to be done over a couple of years
When it comes to fruit tree pruning you might think that one season will be enough to bring back a tree from a total mess to a well structured, healthy and fruitful tree but no it
isn’t enough. Most of the time you need to allow few years to reshape such tree.
Tree we have done recently had lots of water sprouts ( suckers ) that haven’t been removed after someone else before did what it seemed to me like a major reduction ..
It had some rubbing, crossing branches and some dead ones..
Decision was to remove suckers, crossing / rubbing branches and some dead ones. No reduction this year as this would have been too much in my opinion.
NOW is the time to rejuvenate your lawns and make your neighbour jealous! 😉
Today we have done our first such treatment this autumn.
– aeration
– scarification
– grass seeding
A couple of weeks and results should be visible!
If you’d like to see what a single pass with a professional scarifier can pull from your lawn – watch the following video.
Small garden turfing job in a new-built house in south of Reading
It was a good morning warm up job.
We’ve cleared, rotavated with added quality compost, levelled and laid turf rolls… but hang on …we’ve also watered, tided up afterwards, and gave few words of advise about after-care 😉
Weeding your garden is important and should be done regularly but what if someone didn’t have time for it ?
Call us in – we’ll be happy to help.
Here’s some photos from today.

Vacancy Clear Up Hi
I hired Paul to provide an end of tenancy clear up of a back garden. His work and guidance were superb – the garden was transformed and all garden refuse removed. His quote was competitive and he worked hard to complete the job. More than happy to recommend him.

September 2020. Professional, good quality work Paul carried out removal of the existing lawn and re-laying new.
He and his colleague turned up on time, carried out the work as agreed. The quality of work and materials was excellent and he kept me informed as to what he was doing, ensuring the work was being done to my satisfaction. After each day and upon completion he tidied up and left the premises clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend his company.

Garden Tidy up Paul did a great job clearing my garden which had been neglected for nearly six months and was heavily overgrown with bamboo & ivy. He arrived on time, work was done exactly as discussed and I’m really pleased with the result.

Value for money Paul and Eddie spent a day clearing our very overgrown garden. They worked really hard for a good price and now I can see our flower beds again and can start planting them with proper plants rather than watch brambles and ivy take over the space.
They also left the garden really tidy, which I appreciated. Have already asked Paul to quote for another job.

mark pocock Excellent service! Paul came round the same day he was contacted and carried out an excellent job tidying the garden and removing some trees and shrubs just a couple of days later.

Excellent work !!! Paul, Eddie and the lads are a really great team. We had a significant amount of work done in a short period. Their work rate was phenomenal. Precise work, tidy work, good communication, and a friendly team. Will be using again without a doubt.

Excellent fortnightly service
We have used Tidy Gardens for fortnightly grass cutting and general garden maintenance, for well over a year now.
They are reliable and ready to advise on all aspects required. Highly recommended.

Another fine job, Paul. Many thanks. You reduced the height of my Leylandii exactly as I wanted, and did a very neat and tidy job at a fair price. What’s more, you cleared up really carefully afterwards. It is always a pleasure to deal with you.

Great impact on my garden After I had neglected our large garden for several months, I hired TidyGardens to come and sort it out. They quickly made a great impact on the garden, cutting no corners. After a little over a day’s work I can now enjoy our garden again. I have asked TidyGardens to maintain the garden for me on an ongoing basis so I don’t let it get overgrown again.

Marc O'brien May 2022,
Paul and the team are steadily improving the whole garden of over 0.5acres. We communicate well on what he thinks and what we want so he builds trust quickly. The team are not the cheapest but they do work harder than other gardeners so there’s overall good value.

Does not need to improve Requested a garden tidy last week. Paul and his team arrived on time yesterday and within a day had transformed an overgrown garden to something presentable. Would highly recommend

Outstanding job
We asked Paul at Tidy Gardens to undertake a major garden clearance – topping out overgrown trees, taking out and thinning bushes and general ground clearance.
Not only did his team do an outstanding job, but was flexible around timing, offered us great advice and even kept the neighbours happy. We could not recommend him highly enough to others who need either a major makeover like us or regular maintenance.

Professional, personable, good quality work Paul carried out some work on my property today. It was a relatively small job (extending a path using paving stones) which took him and his colleague about a day to complete. He and his colleague turned up on time and then proceeded to carry out the work as agreed. The quality of work was excellent and he kept me informed to what he was doing, to ensure that the work was being done to my satisfaction.

Excellent fencing, carefully installed Tidy Gardens replaced about 10 fencing panels that had suffered in the recent storms. The new panels were of a high quality and were installed with great care and attention to detail. Paul and his staff were meticulous in tidying up afterwards, leaving the lawn spotless. My neighbour and I are delighted with our new fence and pleased that we chose Tidy Gardens to fit it for us.
