Four jobs through the year that decide whether a garden holds its shape or slowly loses it.
Spring cleanup, pruning, leaf removal and winter preparation.
A garden changes with the calendar and the work changes with it. Seasonal care covers the jobs that come round each year: clearing up in spring, pruning, removing leaves in autumn and getting the garden ready for winter.
None of these is complicated on its own. What matters is that they happen, at the right point in the year, by people who know what the garden is meant to look like. A shrub pruned with the plan in mind keeps the shape it was planted for.
This is the work that protects what was spent on design and planting. It is also the simplest way to keep an established garden looking cared for.
Clearing the garden at the start of the growing year.
Cutting back to keep plants healthy and in proportion.
Clearing fallen leaves from lawn, beds and paving.
Getting the garden ready for the cold months.
None of this is required. It just makes the site visit more useful.
