the new Eds Jobs system is great

Ed's Garden Maintenance's own dog Angus

Just quickly whilst I’m walking Angus… the new Eds Jobs system is great- so much easier to update jobs on the go now. Plus there’s a new mast up near home now so I can easily get  3G whilst in ‘the sticks’. Just need to remember to keep one eye on him whilst he charges around the huge fields and woods here chasing hares, pheasants, etc!

Early Season Mowing

Ed’s Gardening Operator for St Ives, Richard Weightman, got to grips with a customers lawn early in the season, making use of two Honda professional mowers – the larger one to put stripes on the main lawn, and a smaller one to mow around the daffodils which had been planted the previous autumn, allowing for an elegant display of lawn mowing techniques to bring the best of the garden.

Lawn mowing on a new build property for a local builder in Bournemouth has just started. I have now started a lot of the first cuts for my customers as the season has truly started.

The first cut is the sign that spring has arrived and the work begins to pick up in most gardens. At Ed’s Garden Maintenance, we always try and get nice stripes when we mow your lawns.

Spring At Last!

It’s days like this that remind me how lucky I am to be doing garden maintenance! Signs of life showing all over and newly cut lawns set everything off nicely. A lot of moss on lawns and around the garden after this long wet and mild winter. I’m well stocked up on Ferrous Sulphate to green things up and start controlling that moss. I can see lots of scarifying and re seeding coming up…

 

Controlling Moss on Lawns after a wet and mild winter by Ed's Garden Maintenance

Who said Winter was the “dormant” season?


 
There are plenty of things to keep on top of in the garden over the winter season:
 
– Pressure/Jet washing slippery driveways and pathways
– Pruning apple and pear trees
– Mulching flowerbeds
– Digging over empty flower beds or vegetable patches
– General garden tidy up or clearance (including getting rid of those unwanted Christmas trees!)

Aerating a lawn

Aerating Garden Lawns from Ed's Garden Maintenance

Ed’s Garden Maintenance Operator James who covers North London
sent in an example of aerating a lawn for a customer.  Aeration allows air, water and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots, the roots grow longer and therefore create a more vigorous lawn.  This is particularly useful if the ground is quite compact.  Please contact Ed’s Garden Maintenance for a free estimate for your garden maintenance needs.
