Garden Maintainence Service

Garden Maintenance

Maintenance starts in the early spring, the build up to the summer is important as particular shrubs, hedges and trees need cutting back and tidying to be ready to have a good shape for the new growth. Once spring is established and summer is around the corner the garden will come alive and start to delight its owners, the more plants that are in a garden the more wonderful it will look for yourself. However with a well filled garden and summer in full flow the work needed to manage a garden becomes considerable. Many of our clients are simply unable to find this time in the busy work and family schedule.

General Maintenance

General maintenance also includes regular weeding of all paths, gravel, wood chip and the flower borders in the garden. Weeds are very dominant and spraying your patio with weed killer is the most affective way of keeping your paving weed free.
Grass and its edges will need cutting a minimum of once every two weeks, if grass gets a lot of sunshine and rain once a week will be the requirement. We cut hedges, small trees, and your shrubs must be cut back at very particular times of the season to ensure that they will indeed flower the following year. Every flowering plant will flower at a different point in the year and it is important that the management of these plants is completed.

Removal of Waste and Composting

We take away all waste if required, unless you have a compost pot of your own. If you don't we would suggest that we make one for you, as the production of compost will be very useful to keep refreshing the nutrients in your flower beds that are essential to strong new growth.

Benefits of Paving

Paving certain areas of your home is a great way to bring elegance, functionality as well as to help increase the market value of your house. There are a wide array of options ranging from materials such as concrete, asphalt, pebble and even brick or cobble stone. To sum it up there are a myriad of shapes, sizes, colors and materials which can accommodate what the home owner wants or needs.
Now if you’re wondering what parts of your house you could pave, the most common areas would be driveways, walkways, sidewalks, barbecue areas, patios, courtyards and swimming pool areas. This helps control the grass growth in that area as well as bringing elegance to the desired area.
Have you ever seen those cobble stone streets in Europe? Those are just one example of wonderful paving. When you decide to pave your garden, you can have a variety of patterns available to you ranging from circular patterns to the normal brick pattern. If you find you can’t decide, try asking a landscape designer to see what would best suit your desired area. They will take into consideration the size of the area and what would best complement and enhance the surrounding area. They will suggest the appropriate material as well as color for the job. The best part is they come in a variety of colors and materials such as concrete brick, gray and even black. It is best to choose material carefully because their durability varies. Some materials are more economical and durable than others, so it is up to you which one best suits your need the most.
Paving your driveway or garden also makes walking or driving easier. Cars get more traction on a paved surface as opposed to a grassy or dirt road. If you live on a farm or somewhere in the country it is good to take into consideration that people would have difficulty trying to get to your home especially if they have cars that are not powerful enough to handle the strain of a dirt road. Paving your sidewalks or garden walkways gives you and your visitors a clean way to walk through your garden, some prefer not to get their feet wet especially if the grass is muddy. Having a paved garden can allow your garden to serve as an entertainment center if you desire to have late outside summer parties. In the end, you can't go wrong with paving.

BLACK SPOT in Roses

Keep your roses nice and healthy all summer!

1. If you have Black spot on leaves of your roses strip all off of the plant. Even if this leaves the Rose plant bare of leaves, any leaves left must be sprayed with the below Spray.

2. Now you must get into the habit of spraying your roses every two weeks through the summer to prevent the Black Spot returning.

3. If Black Spot is not prevented and treated it will kill all leaves on your Roses. The plant will not then have the leaves and energy to produce new flowers.

4. Roses will only repeat flower if you cut off (dead head) the old flower heads (hips). If you do you will have new flowers all through the year.

Benefits of a Landscape Gardener in the UK


If you have always desired a dream garden, where one can host parties and festivities or even just have a nice landscaped garden to retreat to, it would be best to hire landscape gardeners. Within the UK there is an abundance of gardeners in which you can consider for hiring and some of the best places to consider are in Leicester and Northampton.
Let’s face it, landscaping is a long and tedious process. If you are the sort of person who enjoys gardening, but does not always have the free time to do so, a landscape gardener is best for you. Landscaping is a long and arduous process which requires investment in terms of time, money, skill and patience. But the rewards of a well pruned, trimmed, sculpted garden are enormous emotionally, physically and mentally.
Most psychologists say that living in an environment that is beautiful and relaxing causes the body to secrete endorphins and other stress suppressing chemicals. These are the bodies natural chemicals which are released when we are happy, or de-stressing. Not only does this promote a relatively stress free like, but it has also shown that those who live a relatively low stress life are more often than not living longer than those who are often under high stress situations. 
Having expert landscaping gardeners means that the initial pruning and landscaping is done for you and therefore requires no artistic abilities from you. Expert gardeners know what plants best suit the soil, temperature and season and generally have a good idea of what plants would best go all throughout the year. Expert gardeners could even advice you on practical care tips and even advice you on what not to do in terms of your garden.
Landscaping gardeners are relatively cheap and very affordable when it comes to the UK especially in Leicester and Northampton, which means that one no longer has to pay an arm and a leg to hire an expert landscaper, though expertise comes at a price, the more experience the larger the fee. However weighing out the advantages, it is always better to go with a more experienced landscaper as they would have had a wider array of experience with regards to land and crops. Their skill set will also be wider than the normal gardener. If you are lucky, you may even find a landscaper with experience in tree bending, or sculpting trees into extra ordinary shapes and designs.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to how much you are willing to pay for extravagance, but when it comes to lifestyle, it is best to spend the dollar wisely as well as maximizing what you pay for.
