Garden maintenance
Regular visits to keep lawns, beds, shrubs and features in good order, so the garden looks cared for without you doing all the heavy lifting.
Garden care and development in Oxfordshire
If you want a garden that looks cared for without having to do all the work yourself, our Care & Development teams can help. We look after real, lived-in gardens across Oxfordshire, keeping lawns, borders and features in good shape so you can simply enjoy being outside.
Ongoing care to keep your garden enjoyable
Many of our clients can no longer keep up with the heavier jobs, or are simply too busy to do everything themselves. Some just want a regular pair of eyes on the garden so it does not slide backwards between seasons.
Our Care & Development service is for people who still care about how their garden looks and feels, but would rather have a trusted team keeping on top of it.
- Are finding mowing, weeding and pruning harder on your joints and energy
- Are working full time and want the garden to look “company ready” without weekend graft
- Like the idea of the same small team visiting regularly, not a different face every week
- Want borders, lawns and wildlife areas kept healthy, not just cut back
- Prefer a clear plan for the year so you know the garden is being looked after properly
Care and development services
Different gardens – and different people – need different kinds of help. Some clients want regular visits all year, others just need a hand getting back on top of things or a bit of guidance so they feel more confident.
Winter garden care
One-off or seasonal visits to clear, prune and prepare the garden for the colder months, so it comes back stronger in spring.
One-to-one gardening coaching
Gentle, practical sessions in your own garden to show you what to do, when to do it and how to look after the plants you already have.
What we look after in your garden
Care & Development is about the whole garden, not just the lawn. On each visit, our teams keep an eye on how everything is growing and deal with the jobs that will make the biggest difference over time.
Lawns
Regular mowing, feeding and seasonal treatments so the grass stays healthy, not patchy or mossy.
Beds and borders
Weeding, deadheading, cutting back and replanting so borders look tidy and full rather than bare or overgrown.
Trees and shrubs
Pruning, shaping and checking for problems so larger plants stay safe, healthy and in scale with the garden.
Hedges
Sensible, timed cuts and feeding so hedges stay neat, dense and good for wildlife.
Pots and planters
Refreshing compost and plants, plus watering and feeding, so containers keep earning their keep at doors and seating areas.
Ponds and water features
Self-contained bowls, wall fountains and small pools designed for town gardens and courtyards where space is tight.
Wildlife areas and meadows
The right cut at the right time so wildflower areas keep working for bees, birds and small mammals.
Paths, patios and decks
Cleaning, minor repairs and weed control so surfaces stay safer underfoot and easier to move around.
Problem plants and invasive species
Spotting issues early and dealing with them in the least damaging, most practical way for your garden.
How Our Care Process Works
We keep things straightforward and well explained, so you always know what is happening next.
1. Initial Chat
You tell us a bit about your garden, how much you want to be involved and what is starting to feel like too much. This can be over the phone or on a video call, and is just to see if we are the right fit for you and your garden.
2. Garden Visit
We visit in person, walk the garden with you and look at lawns, borders, trees, hedges and any wildlife or water areas. You can point out what really matters to you, and we can flag anything that might need more attention over the coming months.
3. Agreeing your plan
We then suggest a Care & Development plan that sets out how often we visit, what we focus on at different times of year and an outline monthly cost. You can keep it simple or include more detailed seasonal jobs, and we can tweak the plan until it feels comfortable for you and your budget.
4. Regular visits and review
The same small team visits on agreed days and keeps notes so nothing important is missed. We let you know if anything in the garden changes, and can review the plan each season or once a year to make sure the level of care still feels right for you.
