Don't scalp the lawn
Cutting too short in one go stresses the grass and lets moss and weeds in. We keep it at a sensible height and bring it down gradually.
What's included
- Lawn mowing and edging. Cut, edged and strimmed round the awkward bits.
- Beds and borders weeded. Edges kept sharp, shrubs pruned at the right time of year.
- Hedges kept in shape. Light trims between bigger cuts so they never get out of hand.
- Paths and patios swept. Leaves and clippings cleared off every hard surface.
- All green waste taken away. Included in the price, nothing left by the gate.
- Before and after photos. Sent to your phone, so you don't need to be home.
How often
Fortnightly through the growing season (roughly March to October) and monthly over winter suits most gardens. We'll suggest what yours needs.
Price
Every job gets a fixed price in writing before we start. Quotes are free, usually the same day: send a few photos on WhatsApp or we'll pop round.
Areas
Swansea and Gower: SA1, SA2, SA3 and SA4, including Mumbles, Bishopston, Sketty, Killay and Gowerton.
Good to know
Little things that make a big difference
Keep a winter visit
Monthly winter visits keep leaves off the lawn, beds tidy and hedges in check, so spring starts with a garden that's ready rather than a rescue job.
Ideal for lets and second homes
Landlords, holiday lets and second-home owners get photos after every visit, so you know it's done without driving over.
Questions
Garden maintenance FAQs
How often should a garden be maintained?
Most gardens need a visit every two weeks while the grass is growing, roughly March to October, and once a month over winter.
Do I need to be home?
No. As long as we can get into the garden, we'll do the work and send before and after photos when we're finished.
Is it the same gardener each time?
Yes. The same local team looks after your garden every visit, so you'll always know who's coming.
Do you take the garden waste away?
Yes. All cuttings and green waste are cleared and removed, and it's included in the price.
