As hypnotising as lawn stripes can be, our gardeners handle more than just grass. From garden clearances to fencing to jet washing, Ed’s gardeners are jacks of all trades. Extending their skills to hedges and horticulture, here are some of the great jobs they’ve done for customers in the past.
Quick improvement
Steve Frise who covers Esher to Weybridge enjoys the immediate improvement to gardens by maintaining or trimming hedges for his customers.
Regular maintenance
Guy cuts this hedge twice a year to maintain it’s classy shape. Guy’s top tip is to always have a sharp blade – and to be careful with it!
Saving a hawthorn
Richard, our Ed’s gardener in St Ives, rejuvenated an old hawthorn hedge, which in parts had become overgrown with ivy. Having recently completed his chainsaw maintenance and cross cutting course, Richard made use of power tools to cut through the ivy, which in some areas had trunks as thick as the original hawthorn.
In other areas, the hedge needed patching with new, four year old hawthorn plants. Once the hedge was cleared and tidy, 50 metres of fencing was erected on the field side, with the base buried below soil level to exclude rabbits from the garden.
Richard said the job was very satisfying, and looks forward to seeing the hedge come back to life in the spring.
Urgent call
Clive had an urgent call from one of his regular customers one evening, asking for help!
Their beautiful 30 year old Acacia Dealbata – otherwise known as a Mimosa – had fallen over in high winds. The tree had been weakened by regular trimming on one side, and had become unstable.
Clive rushed round the next day and the work was completed the same day – the customer was delighted.
Flowers don’t hang around
A wisteria Clive planted for a customer is out in bloom and looking gorgeous. Clive takes regular care of it, pruning it when needed, and sending us photos when the flowers blossom each year!
All shapes and sizes
Andy enjoyed doing some interestingly-shaped hedges for a customer’s front garden.
