Our mission is to ensure the gardens we care for improve and develop with every visit we make. Gardens are always evolving so our approach and care are constantly evolving as well.

Our process

01

Initial discovery call

Once we have received the necessary information relating to your garden, we will be in touch within 24 hours to schedule a call. This is a no commitment opportunity to discuss your project and decide if we are a good fit for each other.

02

Site meeting and surveys

We will finish the call with a clear understanding of what is needed to tackle your site and any unique complexities. Organising the correct surveys is key to ensure we can quote accurately and specify the appropriate soils and plants. These could include soil testing, PH testing, percolation and drainage tests and potentially hydrological surveys.

03

Comprehensive quotation

Once the surveys are in we can then produce a detailed, itemised quotation to deliver the works discussed. We present our maintenance plans as annual programmes to the ‘gold standard’. At this stage we can then scale up or down to suit your needs and budget.

04

Garden care

Our visits begin! These include seasonal interventions such as lawn care, pruning and mulching, as well as winter work like planting new bulbs or dividing and moving existing plants. This ensures everything looks the best it can during the summer months where the visits focus on keeping the garden great and performing well. We will ensure you have a garden to really be proud of and will reassess regularly, ensuring alignment and that we are on the right track.

Creative maintenance

Garden maintenance done creatively, as your garden wants.

Tailored Approach

Whether a one off blitz to regain control or a bespoke annual plan, we always begin by simply listening. Once we know and understand what you’d like to achieve, we add our professional and experienced value. We can give you a number of options on how to best make it happen, managing expectations throughout.

Ecologically minded

Chemicals aren’t always the answer. Whilst we can expertly and safely apply the right chemicals in your garden you often need fewer than you think. Natural alternatives can not only be better for your garden as a wider, natural eco system but they can also be more effective long term.

Consistency of care

If we work together, there will be team members that get to know you and your garden well. We aim to pair you with the best suited gardeners, giving them spaces to be accountable for whilst ensuring their continuous professional development.
