Let us take care of the regular tasks in your garden – weeding, pruning shrubs and small trees – as well as seasonal jobs, like planting new flowers, mulching garden beds, and fertilising the soil to promote growth. If you have specific needs like pest and disease control or general clearing of debris, we can undertake that work too.
While we primarily focus on cutting the grass to the desired height and giving the lawn a neat, uniform appearance, we also perform edging along walkways, driveways, and garden beds to create crisp borders. We take care to trim neatly around obstacles, and remove all clippings from paved surfaces to complete the garden tidy-up.
We specialise in deep-cleaning hard surfaces such as patios, driveways, and pathways, to remove accumulated dirt, grime, moss, and algae. We can also clean garden features like stone walls, concrete statues, or wooden decking using appropriate pressure settings and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to restore their original appearance. Please ask us about specialist services like preparing surfaces for sealing or staining, or clearing blocked drains caused by debris accumulation around the garden.
We offer a complete, one-stop garden maintenance solution for commercial properties. Choose from as many services as you need, and pay for them on standard 30-day contract terms. Please see our Commercial page for more details.

Japanese Knotweed
Stems: Look for bamboo-like canes that are hollow, green with reddish-purple speckles, and have distinct raised "nodes" or joints. The stems grow in a zig-zag pattern. In winter, the stems die back and turn brown and brittle but often remain upright.Leaves: The leaves are spade or shield-shaped with a flat base and a pointed tip. They are a lush green color and grow alternately along the stems in the same zig-zag pattern.Flowers: In late summer and early autumn, Japanese knotweed produces dense clusters of tiny, creamy-white flowers. These appear on thin spikes at the ends of the stems.
Himalayan Balsam
Flowers and Leaves: It has large, trumpet-shaped flowers, typically in shades of pink or purple, and sometimes white. The leaves are lance-shaped with finely serrated edges, and they grow in whorls of three to five around the stem.Stem and Height: The plant has a hollow, sappy, and brittle stem that is often reddish in color. It is the tallest annual plant in Europe, and can grow to heights of up to 3 meters (nearly 10 feet).Seed Pods: A key identifying feature is its explosive seed pods. When ripe, the elongated green seed pods, which can hold up to 16 seeds, "explode" or "pop" when touched, scattering the seeds up to 7 meters (23 feet) away.
Giant Hogweed
Size: It's a huge plant, living up to its name. A fully grown giant hogweed can reach heights of up to 5 meters (16 feet) with a spread of 1 to 2 meters. The leaves alone can grow to 1.5 meters wide and 3 metres long.Stems: The thick, hollow stems are a key identifier. They are green with distinctive purple or reddish blotches and covered in coarse, white bristles, especially near the base of the plant.Flowers: The flowers are tiny and white, but they form a large, umbrella-shaped cluster (an umbel) at the top of the plant. These clusters can be up to 80 centimetres (31 inches) in diameter.
Horsetail
Distinctive Stems: The plant has two types of stems. In early spring, you'll see unbranched, light brown, fertile stems topped with a cone-like structure that contains spores. Later, in the summer, these are replaced by green, sterile stems with whorls of fine, needle-like branches, resembling a miniature fir tree.Segmented Appearance: Both types of stems have a hollow, jointed, and ridged structure. They break easily at the joints. The stems also have small, scale-like leaves that form a sheath around the stem at each joint.Abrasive Feel: Horsetail stems contain a high amount of silica, which gives them a rough, gritty texture when you rub them.
