Everything we do,
in proper detail
Six services, one in-house crew. Below is exactly what each one includes, what it typically costs and how long it takes — no “prices on application”.
Design
Garden design
Nothing gets dug until you have seen it drawn. We survey the plot, test the soil and hand you a plan you can actually picture living in.
- Measured site survey and soil analysis
- Hand-drawn concept plus a 3D visual walkthrough
- Full planting plan with a named species list
- Two rounds of revisions included as standard
- A fixed build quote attached to the final drawing
Lawns
Grass cutting & lawn care
Weekly or fortnightly cuts on a schedule you can set your watch by, with the same two people every time.
- Cut, edge and blow-down on every visit
- All clippings bagged and taken away
- Seasonal feed, scarify and aeration programme
- Moss and weed treatment where it is needed
- Gates closed and pets kept in — every time
Upkeep
Garden maintenance
The unglamorous work that keeps a garden looking designed rather than merely alive.
- Pruning and shaping to the right season
- Bed weeding, mulching and edge redefinition
- Feeding programme matched to your planting
- Spring and autumn clear-ups included
- A written care calendar so you know what happens when
Hard landscaping
Paving, decking & stonework
Terraces, paths and decks built on proper foundations, because the base is the part you will never see and never stop relying on.
- Excavation, sub-base and drainage done properly
- Natural stone, porcelain or hardwood decking
- Steps, retaining walls and raised beds
- Low-voltage garden lighting run in at build stage
- Ten-year workmanship warranty on all structures
Planting
Planting & borders
Borders that hold their shape through the year rather than peaking for a fortnight in June.
- Nursery-grade stock, hand-picked not catalogue-ordered
- Soil improved and conditioned before planting
- Year-round structure with succession of colour
- Pollinator-friendly and drought-tolerant schemes
- Two-year replacement guarantee on every plant
Trees
Tree surgery & hedges
Qualified, insured and tidy. Crown work, reductions and hedge shaping without leaving your lawn looking like a worksite.
- NPTC-qualified surgeons, fully insured
- Crown lifting, thinning and reductions
- Hedge cutting to a defined profile
- Stump grinding and full site clearance
- All arisings chipped and removed the same day
What comes with
every single job
No line items that appear later. These are baked into the price on all six services.
Free site visit
An hour on site, measurements taken and honest advice — even if the answer is that you do not need us.
Fixed written quote
Broken down line by line. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice.
One named crew
The same faces each visit, led by a site manager whose mobile number you get.
Daily photo updates
A short album at the end of each working day, so you can follow it from anywhere.
Swept site, daily
Tools away, paths brushed, no skip left blocking your drive overnight.
Fully insured
$5m public liability and $10m employers’ liability, certificates on request.
Two-year plant guarantee
If something we planted fails and it is not down to neglect, we replace it free.
Fixed schedule
Booked dates, held dates. If we ever slip, the next visit is on us.
What happens
through the year
Maintenance clients get this as a written schedule. It is the rhythm every garden we look after runs on.
| Season | What we do | Visit rhythm |
|---|---|---|
| Early spring | First cut, scarify and aerate, mulch the beds, prune late-winter growth, feed the lawn. | Fortnightly |
| Late spring | Weekly cuts begin, bedding goes in, hedges get their first shape, weed treatment. | Weekly |
| Summer | Cuts, edging, deadheading, watering checks, second hedge cut, pest and disease watch. | Weekly |
| Autumn | Leaf clearance, final cut, autumn feed, dividing perennials, bulb planting for spring. | Fortnightly |
| Winter | Structural pruning, tree work, bed edging, hard landscaping repairs, tool and bed prep. | Monthly |
Things people ask
before booking
01 How quickly can you start?
Design work usually starts within two weeks of you approving the quote. Build slots run four to eight weeks out depending on the season — spring is always the busiest. Maintenance and lawn rounds can normally pick you up the following week.
02 Do you charge for the first visit or the quote?
No. The site visit, the measure-up and the written quote are all free, with no obligation attached. We would rather tell you honestly that a job is not worth doing than sell you one that is not.
03 Is there a minimum contract on maintenance?
No contract and no tie-in. Most clients settle into fortnightly or monthly visits, but you can pause over winter or stop entirely with two weeks’ notice.
04 What happens if the weather stops you?
Ground-work and planting we reschedule — forcing either in the wet does long-term damage. You get a new date within the week and you are never charged for a visit that did not happen.
05 Do you clear up and take everything away?
Always, and on the same day. Green waste, spoil, packaging and offcuts all leave with us. We are a licensed waste carrier, so nothing is fly-tipped on your behalf.
06 Can you work to a plan someone else drew?
Yes, and we are happy to. We will read it properly, flag anything that will not survive in your soil or aspect, then price and build it.
