GARDEN MAINTENANCE
Our team of Gardeners have a wide range of experience and knowledge
Understanding your garden.
We meet with you and discuss the most appropriate solution for your garden improvement and maintenance. This involves understanding your budget, the complexity, size and topography of your garden, plus factoring in any plans you have for improvement. Any information you can provide us about previous maintenance, it’s successes and failures is extremely valuable.
Many clients like to work alongside our gardeners, or are keen to participate in some, but not all aspects, this is welcomed. Some clients have other gardeners who carry out very specific duties, so we help create clear lines of specialisation and work alongside them to create a seamless solution for you. In larger gardens and small estates we can manage the whole process and help you budget all aspects of your outdoor space.
Our Gardeners are encouraged to take ownership
With the gardeners input we agree a maintenance plan for each garden. Wherever possible we encourage the gardeners to take “Ownership”, so they start to see the garden as their responsibility and use their initiative and knowledge (sometimes pooled) to create and execute a year round schedule of care for your garden.
The gardeners are supported by a group of tree surgeons, hedge cutting and topiary specialists, lawn care experts, pest control colleagues and licensed sprayers.
We use online plant identification programmes and a shared knowledge base among all our gardeners using our closed user WhatsApp group.
We also actively sponsor training for gardeners who wish to further their knowledge.
Delivering the maintenance plan.
Once we have agreed the plan and budget for your garden we support our gardeners and you with advice, training, additional resources and equipment.
So in addition to information and support from colleagues, our gardeners have access to a large pool of Gardenproud equipment that includes ride-ons, hand mowers, safety ladders, brush cutters, blowers and hedge trimmers. We also factor in wherever possible your own equipment as this is on-site and can help save unnecessary transportation and fuel costs. From time to time we may need to research and hire specialist tools to help complete difficult tasks.
Health and Safety is always paramount so we have created a training guide for each gardener and encourage them to always use the appropriate PPE.
Together with yourself and the gardeners we help them assess their progress and keep a close check on any additional steps that might lead to improving the service.
“From courtyard gardens to small estates, the team at Gardenproud can help you maintain your outdoor space.”
