Garden Maintenance
Report
When visiting a garden for the first time, I have a look around with the customer to find what ideas and requirements they have for their garden. There are always plants which we, and some customers, will call weeds so to ensure no mistakes are made we need to find this out along with likes and dislikes which in your eye is a plant or a weed, for example; yellowing flowering poppy or wild viola or creeping jenny to name just a few.
Grass Cutting
Report
We always use good quality, high performance Honda and Mountfield Tractor mowers. These enable us to consistently deliver a high standard of work and finish in each garden. Due to the nature of our business, and many of our gardens being uneven or on a slope, we generally use 4 wheeled mowers which prevent them from sliding around and provide additional safety for the staff.
Edging
Report
We edge lawns around the borders using lawn shears rather than strimmers. All our shears are regularly maintained and sharpened which ensures a nice finish. As we edge we slightly angle the shears backwards so this leaves the grass tips in line with the soil. Around the drive or paths we use a different tool called a half moon.
Weeding and Hoeing
Report
For hoeing we use a three pointed fork hoe rather than a Dutch hoe. The reason for this is that it is easier to turn the soil over and less likely to damage plants or bulbs etc. We use the fork hoe by holding it with a firm grip and then pushing it into the soil and twisting it so the soil turns over.
