The garden maintenance services I cover are:

• Weeding - Flowerbeds, walls and pathways. 
• Pruning - Shrubs and small trees.
• Dead heading - Spent flowers.  This helps the plants produce more flowers for you to enjoy
• Lawn Maintenance - Providing help to keep your lawn in tip top condition.
  • Lawn mowing, egding, feeding, improving drainage and managing moss and weeds.
• Applying feed- Recommended (environmentally friendly).
• Planting - Annuals (bedding plants), perennials (hardy and semi hardy plants), shrubs, small trees and bulbs.
• Double Digging - This method is intended for newly dug/designed beds and is a fairly traditional technique of gardening.  However it could be considered the most affective way of ensuring all the nutrients reach the roots of the plants / shrubs / trees, as a thick layer of compost is placed into a number of trenches two spits deep.
• Mulching - This is where a thick layer of compost is evenly applied over the required area to provide a good source of nutrients for existing plants / shrubs / trees.
• Laying wood/stone chippings - This is good for suppressing weeds for a considerable amount of time and will look very attractive against your plants / shrubs / trees.
• Airation- This improves the drainage and prevents compaction of the soil and allows the plant roots to grow easily through the soil.  This is achieved by turning the soil over with a hoe and done perioically through the year.

In order to keep your garden looking its best I will endeavor to tidy as I go, minimizing any mess.  At the end of each visit the garden waste will be taken away to be recycled for you!.
