Gardening with you

Maybe you’d like an extra pair of hands to help you with a task in the garden. Or perhaps you’d like some company when doing gardening tasks. We’re also happy to come along as an extra pair of hands and look after your garden alongside you.

Planting Planning

We offer a planting planning service, usually through autumn and winter.

We are fully insured for garden maintenance work.

Why hire a gardener?

 

Perhaps your garden is a bit bigger than you can manage yourself.

Or don’t you have the time to keep it up the way you would like. 

Maybe you prefer using your spare time to enjoy being in the garden without tending to it every week.

This might be your first garden and you’d like to learn more about caring for your space yourself with the help of an experienced gardener.

You’ve done your back in and need some extra help while you recover!

Perhaps you see your garden space as a way to contribute to a healthier environment and improve your wellbeing.

Whatever your reason, we can help.
