A proper mow does more than knock the top off. We cut to the right height for the season, catch the clippings and leave clean lines down the fence. Book it weekly, fortnightly or as a one-off, and the lawn stays healthy instead of getting scalped one week and shaggy the next.

Weeds take over fast if you leave them, and they make even a tidy garden look neglected. We get into the beds, along the paths and through the gravel, pull what needs pulling and knock back the rest, so your plants get the room and the water they are meant to have.

Pruning done right keeps shrubs and small trees healthy and flowering, and stops them swallowing the path or the window. We cut back to the right points, take out the dead and crossing growth and shape things so they come back stronger next season.

Hedges want shaping a couple of times a year to stay thick and neat rather than woody and gappy. We trim to a clean shape, keep the lines straight and clear away every bit of the cuttings, so you are not left with a pile by the shed.

Clippings, prunings and the pile that has been sitting by the shed since autumn. We load the lot and take it away, so you are not the one making trips to the tip on the weekend. Tack it onto another job or book it on its own.

Edging is what makes a yard look finished. We run a clean line where the lawn meets the paths, the driveway and the garden beds, so the whole place looks sharp even when nothing else has changed. It is the small thing people notice without quite knowing why.
