Winter is a golden opportunity to take the time to take stock of the year’s success and failures and to get on with planning for the next year. It also provides the best time for commence work on any construction or adding any features to your garden, so that, by the start of Spring, your garden will be ready for the first plants.

Our Gardeners will take the time to repair any damages to your wooden fences before the damp and cold weather hits home.

Clearing Up Gardens After Builders in Raynes Park

Garden Clearance before and after Builders in Raynes Park

During the last few weeks, Ed’s Garden Maintenance Gardener, Kevin Gallacher, has been helping his clients in Raynes Park with Garden Clearance.

Recently, the clients have had a lot of building work done to their house and, unfortunately, left their garden in a sorry state. Our Gardener, Kevin Gallacher, was called in to help rebuild their garden to its former glory. During this time, we needed to remove several bags of building waste before we even began work on the rest of the garden.

Kevin had to rake up the ground and remove all unwanted debris from the leftover sandpit. Afterwards, Kevin re-seeded the whole lawn, taking care to advise the client that they had to keep watering the lawn for the next two weeks. After two weeks, you can see the lawn start to return back to the way it should be.

As with all newly re-seeded or re-turfed lawns when lawn mowing, the next step was to make sure that the grass was long enough to cut. This is because the first lawn mow should begin when the grass leaves reach a height of 3 to 3 and half inches. Once this was the case, then we had to mow a third off the leaf blade in order to make sure that the grass roots had penetrated down into the soil or it would weaken the lawn in the future.

Our clients were delighted to see that the grass was soon growing back to its original self and looking fresh in the summer light.

From Wilderness to a Tamed Garden in The Hemingfords, St Ives

Back in September 2015, Richard and his colleague Roy, were called in to help an elderly couple out who were now unable to tend their  garden in The Hemingfords, St Ives. They were scared to go in their beloved garden as the risk of tripping had become too great and they couldn’t even hang washing out anymore as the garden had got too out of hand.

It was quite a daunting task, but Richard and Roy hired a skip, removed all the items which had built up over the years and then set to work on rotavating the whole area, removing the roots and other green waste. The old pond was next on the list for total removal. The area was then levelled, and finally seeded with grass seed. The photos show the transformation, the best part of the job being that the home owners are now not scared of venturing outside. They are able to walk to the end of their garden, sit on the bench and look out over the sheep in the field beyond and love being outdoors once again.

Richard enjoys regularly mowing the new lawn which as you will see in the after photos is growing well. If you require help with your garden, please get in touch.
