My services

Are you looking to change your borders, raised beds or pots to add more shrubs and vibrant flowers or perhaps grow tasty vegetables, herbs and fruit? I will provide advice on suitable plants and plant these in the best position to ensure healthy growth. If certain plants are unavailable commercially, I can grow a large range of plants from seeds or cuttings, 

I will feed your plants to ensure that they look their best throughout the year.

If you, like me, are into wildlife, you may be keen to create a pond, a flowering meadow area, a bug hotel, a hedgehog house, or a "wild corner".  I would love to make any of those and, if applicable, would be happy to involve yourself or your (grand)children in the process.

If your garden is full of fallen leaves in the autumn, there are two immediate alternatives. I cam collect the fallen leaves in your garden and remove them. Alternatively, I can turn it into leaf mould for the benefit of your own plants if you have the space to store them for up to a year. The end product is perfect for frost protection of dahlias, agapanthus and other tender perennial plants.

Let me know what works for you.

Are you losing the battle against the weeds? Weeds cannot be avoided altogether, however, I strive to remove weeds (including their roots) by hand before they set seeds in order to slow down their reappearance. In some instances, I may recommend the use of a flame burner, In other instances, application of a homemade or commercial weed killer may be the most efficient solution.

I am happy to mow your lawn and trim the edges, however, I currently do not have a lawnmower, If you have one, I am happy to look after your lawn and discuss how to improve it, if necessary. 

If you show me your outdoor space and let me know what you would like to use it for, I will create a garden layout, which take into account sun/shade, wind shelter, safe access, children's play area, wildlife or any other important aspect. Depending on the scale of the work involved, I may have to recommend that you bring in hard landscapers for the initial work, but after that stage I will carry out all of the soft landscaping and planting to make it into the space that you envisaged.

Are  your shrubs or small trees too large or unruly in appearance? I offer seasonal and careful pruning in order to maintain their size and health and enable them to produce beautiful flowers and, if applicable, fruit. 

Are your plants and flowers looking tired and unhealthy? I can offer soil treatment to help restore health and vitality to your plants and flowers. The treatments provide the necessary nutrients or drainage and acidity adjustments to ensure healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Appropriate soil treatment means that you can enjoy healthy plants and flowers throughout the year.
