Questions

Common questions.

Can garden visits be regular?

Yes. Garden maintenance can be scheduled regularly, for example through the growing season, or arranged as one-off and seasonal visits.

Will garden waste be taken away?

Green waste removal depends on the job and the amount involved. Whether it is included is confirmed as part of your quote.

Can you help with an overgrown garden?

Yes. A garden tidy-up is designed to bring an overgrown or neglected garden back into shape. Larger clearances may need more than one visit.

Why aren’t prices listed?
