Year round garden maintenance
YEAR ROUND GARDEN MAINTENANCE
Busy Saturday
Busy busy Saturday ..
Done three jobs today !
First one was a general tidy up of a garden which we’ll be taking under our wings for fortnight regular maintenance. Customer very happy – hopefully we’ll get some reviews from her shortly.
Second one was some turfing of a front garden. We’ve done edges on Friday so it was to finish it all off.
Here’s some photos
A third one was a tiny garden clearance before some major make over takes places ( light, tiles, metal railing and planting ) We are going to do planting and some landscaping so please watch this space !
Garden raised beds and vegetable garden tidy up
In a rural area of Berkshire we were asked to redo eight raised beds, also remove four other patches and change it back to gravel area..
We used 6×2 ( 15cm x 5cm ) wood boards which should last a long time..
Photos speak for themselves so please have a look below:
End of season garden maintenance
We’re in mid October and that is the end of season for your garden..
Nature is soon about to go for a winter sleep, like that hedgehog from a photo above.
Barbeques and all your garden furniture soon has to find it’s space in a garage or other storage to keep it away from destructive winter forces..
Apart from clearing leaves off your lawn you probably don’t think there’s anything else worth doing at the moment.
I actually think it is a very good time to have a closer look at your garden and see if there’s anything in need of repair or improvement.
What is it you should look at?
Assuming you have sorted out everything with regards to greenery in your garden like:
hedges and shrubs trimmed, perennials cut back, diseased plant/ branches removed, lawn mowed for the last time
You now have to look further..
- Check retaining brick walls for damage/loose/missing bricks
- Check and replace or improve your garden lawn edging
- Check loose/cracked/wobbly patio slabs and replace if neccessary
- Have a look at your fences in particular fence posts. Winter’s rather windy so before they get knocked down you might want to replace them
- Could be a good time to give your paths a good scrub if they are mossy – always better to prevent any slips and falls.
- Clear out compost bins if of course compost is ready
- Autumn’s the best time for transplanting and planting new shrubs / trees / evergreens / perennials giving them enough time to establish good root system
- Perfect time for lawn maintenance: moss and thatch removal, overseeding, lawn aeration
Lawn mowing – big or small
Lawn mowing service in/around Reading – big or small
In this case a rather big area.
Below’s the lawn area… many steps ahead..
21″ walk behind mower – unfortunately
3h later, sun’s had already left me… SUCCESS !

Really impressed and happy with the very professional work Paul and David did at my back garden. The before and after look is simply incredible. They worked non-stop from arrival to the property until they left! Very highly recommended. Thank you!
