Regular Garden maintenance
Professional garden maintenance on a regular schedule with the same trusted team keeping your garden healthy and looking at its best through every season.
Garden Care Services in Oxfordshire
Our Care and Development team of expert horticulturists can care for your garden, help you build the confidence to care for it yourself, or support you in letting your garden care for you. From regular maintenance and specialist lawn care to one-to-one coaching and horticultural therapy.
Care and Development services
Different gardens and different people need different kinds of care. Some clients want a trusted team visiting regularly, all year round. Others need seasonal help, one-off advice and guidance, or support in using their garden for wellbeing and recovery.
Seasonal and Specialist Care
Expert lawn care and seasonal gardening work for when your garden needs focused, professional attention, without the commitment of a year-round contract. One visit, a short series, or a seasonal programme, timed around what your garden actually needs.
Gardening Advice & Coaching
From a one-off Garden MOT to get clarity on what to do with your garden to ongoing coaching that builds your confidence to care for your garden yourself.
Wellbeing & Horticultural Therapy
The evidence is clear that gardening is good for us. For people navigating life’s difficult moments, we offer one-to-one horticultural therapy, group sessions and a therapeutic garden assessment.
Your garden, expertly cared for
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 expert eyes on the garden so it stays in good shape between seasons. Others want to hand it over entirely and simply enjoy being outside.
Every member of our Care and Development team holds an RHS qualification or has equivalent experience, so they understand your garden properly; what to prune and when, how your soil and plants are performing, and what would help the garden develop over time. As well as keeping everything in good order, they’ll share ideas for making your garden more climate-resilient and better for wildlife, and work with you on any changes you’d like to make.
Our garden maintenance clients tend to be people who:
- Find the heavier jobs mowing, weeding, pruning harder than they used to be
- Are working full time and want the garden to look at its best 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
How Our Care Process Works
We keep things straightforward and well explained, so you always know what is happening next.
Initial Chat
Tell us a bit about your garden and what you’re looking for, and we can explore whether regular maintenance, seasonal care, a garden MOT, coaching or wellbeing sessions are the right fit. You can call us or pop into our shop in Wallingford.
Garden Assessment
We visit in person and walk the garden with you, looking at everything that matters to you. We get a clear picture of what the garden needs, what to prioritise, how much time it will take and how often we should visit — so any plan we put together is based on your garden.
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.
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.

What we look after in your garden
Garden care 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.

Caring for Wildlife and a Changing Climate
How a garden is cared for matters as much as how it was made. Mowing in a mosaic, leaving stems standing until spring, pruning around nesting birds and keeping ponds and log piles topped up all help wildlife thrive, while seasonal checks help the garden cope with a changing climate.
None of this means letting the garden go. It is about timing more than anything: cutting at the right moment, leaving cover where it does no harm, and knowing which jobs can wait until spring. The garden still looks cared for, week in, week out.
- Planting that gives food and shelter to bees, butterflies and birds through the year
- Using trees, shrubs and groundcover to shade soil and help it hold on to moisture
- Planning paths, levels and drainage so water runs and soaks away in a controlled way
- Choosing durable, lower-impact materials and making good use of what is already on site
- Using simple tools, such as our Garden Biodiversity Index and Climate Resilience checks, to show the difference your new garden is making
