Hedge work – Lower Earley

Hedge work – Lower Earley

Front garden in Lower Earley. Cotoneaster along the brick wall taken over by some wild roses, brambles and other thorny foes

Hedge work: Few of cotoneasters had to be removed ( right hand side ), some had been given a chance to survive..

 

Back garden in the same house.

Another cotoneaster in an awful state. Covered in weeds, brambles etc.. Customers wished for it to be removed and site cleared for a fruit tree.

 

Another part of this garden has been cleared. Pictures here

Lawn scarification – Mortimer

Lawn scarification – Mortimer

Lawn scarification. Total of 280 m2 of lawn to restore / scarify / fertilize / overseed

Two stripes of turf at the front after they have been damaged by the builders heavy trucks had to be removed, soil added, levelled and reseeded.

You probably wouldn’t believe the amount of moss that scarification pulls out. Have a look at one of the pictures which shows a compost heap which was empty before we started.

This compact moss/debris is really heavy so if you are planning to

scarify yourself then I hope you are a real grafter !

 

pyracantha – firethorn hedge trimming

pyracantha – firethorn hedge trimming

Very overgrown Pyracantha ( firethorn ) hedge trimming.

Trimmed and height reduced by  about 0.5m
The biggest challenge ? How to shift it without touching it !
Pyracantha as the common name suggests bears long and very sharp thorns.
Luckily I pulled this off with no serious injuries
