Garden maintenance


I offer a garden maintenance service for those busy individuals that don’t have the time or know-how to maintain their outdoor space.
I have many years experience working in gardens of varying sizes up to and including heavily planted multiple acre gardens.
My maintenance service is client focused and thrives on communication. It is your garden after all! I want to know what you like about it, what you don’t like and how I can improve it for you.

When maintaining your garden, my thoughtful, informed approach to maintenance is one of doing the right thing, at the right time to ensure your plants receive the maxiumum benefit. My qualifications speak to this boast!

I have experience dealing with a wide variety of garden issues such as pests and diseases. Where possible I take a proactive approach to dealing with them. As an example, if you have a box hedge in an area affected by the box tree moth caterpillar, I would be recommending traps to keep an eye on any potential infestations as well as doing a visual inspection of the box on every visit.

Ben has only been working in my (very large and previously rather messy) garden for a few months but I can already see the improvements that his skills are making.
I would thoroughly recommend him.”
