How we work

Assessment

We check the condition of your garden, its seasonal needs and your specific cleanup requirements.

Planning

We build a cleanup plan around your garden size, plant types and seasonal priorities.

Methodical work

We work through the garden using best practice for plant health, soil protection and the environment.

Organic matter management

We handle plant material by composting, mulching and improving the soil rather than sending it to landfill.

Seasonal preparation

We finish by mulching, protecting plants and setting up your garden for the next season.
