Lawn Care & Maintenance
A healthy lawn requires more than occasional mowing. We provide comprehensive turf management that addresses Sheffield's challenging soil conditions and variable weather.
Our lawn care programme includes:
- Weekly or fortnightly mowing with height adjustment for season and grass type
- Edge trimming for clean boundaries along paths and beds
- Spring and autumn aeration to improve drainage and root development
- Targeted overseeding in worn areas
- Organic fertilization schedule
We adapt cutting heights throughout the year, leaving grass longer during summer droughts to preserve moisture and shortening it in active growth periods.
Tree & Shrub Pruning
Proper pruning improves plant health, controls size, and prevents safety hazards from overhanging branches. We prune according to species-specific requirements and growth patterns.
Our pruning service covers:
- Structural pruning for young trees to establish strong framework
- Crown thinning and reduction for mature specimens
- Deadwood removal to prevent disease spread
- Shrub shaping to maintain desired form
- All pruning waste removed from site
We follow RHS guidelines for timing, making cuts at appropriate points to encourage healthy regrowth without leaving vulnerable stubs.
Landscape Design Consultation
Before planting or construction begins, thorough planning prevents costly mistakes. We assess your site's unique characteristics and develop designs that will function well long-term.
The consultation process includes:
- Site survey covering drainage, light levels, and soil testing
- Discussion of how you use the space and what you want to achieve
- Plant recommendations suited to your specific conditions
- Layout suggestions with consideration for mature plant sizes
- Written plan with implementation timeline and maintenance requirements
You receive actionable guidance whether you implement the design yourself or hire us for the installation work.
Garden Renovation
Overgrown, neglected, or poorly designed gardens can be transformed into functional outdoor spaces. We handle everything from clearance to replanting.
Renovation projects typically involve:
- Complete site clearance of unwanted vegetation
- Soil improvement with organic matter and drainage correction
- Hard landscaping repairs or new installations
- New planting schemes with appropriate plant selection
- Mulching and finishing work
Each renovation is quoted individually after site assessment, as scope varies considerably based on garden size and condition.
Seasonal Garden Care
Gardens need different attention as seasons change. Our quarterly service ensures your outdoor space receives appropriate care throughout the year.
Seasonal care includes:
- Spring: soil preparation, early weeding, mulching, spring pruning
- Summer: deadheading, pest monitoring, watering system checks
- Autumn: leaf clearance, plant division, winter preparation
- Winter: structural pruning, snow damage prevention, planning for spring
We schedule visits at optimal times for each task, working with plant dormancy periods and weather windows.
Hedge Trimming
Regular hedge maintenance keeps boundaries defined and plants healthy. We trim to precise specifications while promoting dense growth.
Our hedge service covers:
- Formal hedge trimming with straight lines and even surfaces
- Informal hedge shaping that maintains natural form
- Height reduction for overgrown hedges
- Gap filling advice for sparse sections
- Removal of all clippings from site
We recommend trimming frequency based on hedge species, with most requiring cuts twice yearly to maintain appearance.
