Over two days we have completed this returfing job in Tilehurst / Reading
Returfing around 80m2 but also flattening future lawn areas and creating two flower beds separated with some oak sleepers.
Today we visited this garden again to do some planting. Being a rented property we needed something easy yet still attractive.
Choice has been accepted and Lonicera Baggesen’s gold have been supplied and planted by us. As these grows they will create a low,dense green carpet. No need for lots of hated weeding and very easy to trim too.
Latest news from Calcot ! Another garden there got a brand new lawn 🙂
What have we done ?
– Stripped old grass destroyed by builders. Yes they know how best to do it. And they don’t even use a weed killer!
– Added 10m3 of compost. Oh yes we love compost so much. A quick whiff of fresh compost works better and longer than any coffee available in the UK 😉
– Rotovated using a perfectly suitable and powerful machine for it.
– Levelled, rolled and laid new turf.
– Watered !
– Broken up concrete, added soil and converted into another small lawn.
– Of course we’ve tidied up as well
Two day job completed with big thank you from a customer. Involved brick edging, levelling and turfing and a small ( 8×6′) shed base construction.
– Around 400 paving blocks laid along the perimeter of the garden. Edging is very useful. See other posts about edging here
– 2.5m by 1.9m concrete shed base built.
– Lawn area levelled and 80m2 of premium turf laid
We left it like that. What do you think of it ? Let us know by writing a comment below.
Last minute scarifying and overseeding in spring 2017
It’s the last call to do some scarifying and reseeding to improve your lawn. We have done it in this garden on top of some edging and turfing.
Please come back here to see more photos when grass starts to grow. It should not take more than two weeks in this weather. WATCH THIS SPACE !
Paul recently re-landscaped my front lawn. He removed so serious hard to get tree stumps, levelled out the ground, relaid the lawn and finished off by doing some pave edgings for some rose bushes. The quality of his work was really good and he even started the work on the Easter Monday Bank Holiday. I have already recommended him to my brother and will do the same to those who ask who did the work. Excellent work by a polite and friendly chap.
End of tenancy tidy up. Am absolutely delight with the job Paul done. Was quick, efficient and tidy our garden for our end of tenancy contract. Thank you very Much.Read more

Garden work / Reading - review I would highly recommend TIdy Gardens for your gardening jobs. Paul provided a quote and carried out the work in an excellent manner. Tidy Gardens lives up to its name as there was no evidence of Paul being here apart from a super tidy garden. Our garden waste had to be carried through the house and there wasn't a leaf or a speck of soil around when I got home. Also Paul didn't just do what he quoted for. He went the extra mile. Look no further for your garden needs. Amanda AdkinsRead more

Highly recommended!! My garden has been transformed to it's former glory thanks to Paul and Co. I can't believe what he did in such a short space of time. They left the garden spotless, I thought I might have had to rake up a few leaves at least. Many thanks and hope to see you again soon.Read more

Overgrown Cypress Leylandii Despite dreadful weather, Paul arrived punctually and worked tirelessly carrying out excellent work. He left the area perfectly clean and 'tidy'. I was most impressed and now that my huge hedge has been brought under control I will be hiring Tidy Gardens on a regular basis.Read more

Jill C. Ascot, August 2013 I have been very pleased with the work undertaken by Paul. It is a relief to finally find a gardener who is diligent, committed & reliable.
Paul always turns up when expected and just gets on with the job in hand. It is important that you discuss your needs & requirements with Paul ideally ahead of his visit so that he is able to work without any delay.
Also this makes sure that you understand how much the work will cost and how long it will take.
Paul is very knowledgeable regarding plants &… Read more

Paul and his colleague attended within the time stated to fell a tree that was beginning to interfere with my nieighbours house. They even grounded out the stump so the ground was levelled off.
All arisings were cleared away to leave the garden clean and tidy.
Job was done so quickly and well that they also picked up some work from my neighbour too.Read more

Lower Earley, Reading, November 2013 After moving to a house that we bought recently, we did not realise initially how much work was needed in both front and the back garden. The border were full with spiky bushes and brambles, that were about 2 meter wide. Nothing could have been done till this was removed and reshaped. Good to find Paul, who understood our requirement and completed to good standard. Now I need new plantation and design for my garden, which I am quite confident that Paul can deliver... ThanksRead more
