Changing the outlook in Cleveland Square through brute force and coffee

James Leonard is planting trees in Cleveland Square on behalf of the Residents’ Association.

He recently won the contract for maintaining the central garden of Cleveland Square, near Paddington. 6 mature cherry trees (Prunus Autumnalis Rosea) were delivered on the 2nd February. On one of the coldest days of the year James managed to roll these to their designated spot for planting through brute force and a lot of coffee. He has since planted them before the cold weather strikes.

Fantastic Customer Service

We recently received the following letter:-

I had to write and let you know that my neighbour recently had some garden maintenance work carried out by Steve and his assistant from Eds Garden Maintenance. They had to use my side entrance and not only did they do an excellent job for my neighbour but Steve fixed my fence and when he had finished washed down my decking and left it better than he found it.

If I ever need any garden maintenance work done I would not hesitate to give Eds Garden Maintenance a call or recommend a friend if this is the level of service Eds offer.

Yours a very happy neighbour

Doctor’s Orders


John Marshall from Ed’s Garden Maintenance found the benefits of his branded trailer.
“Whilst on the way to a job recently I stopped at my own doctor’s surgery to drop off a repeat prescription. As I returned to my car parked outside, I was approached by a man also coming out of the surgery, who having seen my “Ed’s” trailer, asked if I cut hedges. Having duly replied yes and saying I could have a look immediately, I followed him in his car to his house just half a mile away.

Suffice to say, a price for the job, which in fact was to cut back the hedging surrounding his entire garden, was agreed and time fixed to carry it out. The work is now complete and one very satisfied local customer. One rider to this is that in the conversation he mentioned he has a friend also moving to Chobham. As it turns out, less than 100 yards from my house, so another space to watch ….”

If you have some garden maintenance work to be done why not give us a call and an operator will come round to give you a free estimate. We pride ourselves on offering a prompt, efficient and reliable service.

Gardening Makeover

Marcus Richardson from Ed’s Garden Maintenance has recently had an interesting project.

The customer claimed to have little gardening skills but loved spending time in the garden. The brief was to come up with ideas to give the front and back garden a modern makeover, with a natural look to compliment the surrounding plantation and to create a garden with symmetrical clean lines and that requires little maintenance.

Marcus decided for the front garden to lay new turf, create a brick edging and add some gravel and shrubs. The back garden was more of a challenge as it was very steep and needed to be terraced. Marcus started by rebuilding the steps, installing a deck on the top tier and laying turf. The next step was to remove the shed and build a brick BBQ, South African style to retain the privacy that was provided by the shed. The decking was expanded to tie in with the rest of the garden and over the next few months Marcus will plant more shrubs to give a more secluded feel.

The customer said “I have been delighted with the result and I am looking forward to spending more time in the garden next summer.”

Marcus Richardson runs his own Ed’s Garden Maintenance business in the Wokingham area. If you are interested in your garden having a makeover please contact Ed’s.
