Hedge Trimming:

Hedges can make a statement for your frontyard or backyard. When they are trimmed and you can see the lush green it is something to admire. 

It is a good idea to keep your hedges well trimmed as this keeps them healthy and allows the sunlight deliver to new shoots. The pruning also removes any old dead roots for new ones to grow.

If you have hedges that need trimming, I can help with this. I have the knowledge, skills and tools to trim them. I can also advise when is the right time to trim and which plants are best for hedges if unsure.

 

Rose Pruning:

Roses are such a beautiful flower that comes in many colors, and when they are in bloom are lovely to look at. If you have roses that need to be pruned and not sure where to start, I can help you with this.

The reason we prune Roses is to help the Rose produce a higher quality of flowers, foilage and stems. 

After I finish pruning the roses, I lay done fertiliser to add nourishment to the soil which increases healthier growth.

 

Lawn Maintenance:

Lawn maintenance is very important to create a healthy Lawn. Getting your lawn mowed regularly improves the overall growth and then is improved as there will be even absorption from water and sunlight. Regular watering also enhances the lawn as well as  lawn fertiliser. Fertilising the lawn helps reduce weeds and encourage strong growth. I can assist you with fertilising and best time to do this. I can also lay new lawn. No lawn too small or too big. I can also install an irrigation system for your lawn.

 

Garden Maintenance:

Garden maintenance consists of many little things but done regularly can keep your garden looking amazing all year round. Here is a bit of list, fertliser the soil, prune and trim hedges, weeding your garden beds, I go for a walk around my garden when having a coffee and pull out any weeds I see. This keeps them undercontrol (as they can easily become out of control). It's also a great idea to pull them out when the ground is damp after rain or watering.

I can also install an irrigation system for your garden.

I can help with rose pruning, hedge trimming, weeding, fertilising and more around your garden.

I was very impressed on how Peter trimmed the bushes in my garden and removed a couple of tree stumps. I could see his tools were well maintained as they cut the branches with the greatest of ease. He also cleaned up and took everything away. 

He quoted me a price for the job and as it didnt take as long to do, he ammneded the quote to a reasonable cost without no hesitation.

Hi Highly reccomeend Peter and he will be back in a couple of weeks to do some more work for me
