Lawn Care
A large portion of this garden maintenance project is dedicated to lawn care, as we tend to the turf throughout the seasons to ensure it looks its best.
Regular mowing is offered as part of regular garden maintenance, as this is essential to protect the health of the grass. Mowing also ensures a neat appearance of the lawn, which complements the rest of the garden design and ensures seasonal appeal. This is performed weekly during the growing season, which begins in early spring, to keep the grass at a healthy height.
To aid the growing season and ensure the lawn remains lush and green, we also fertilise and aerate the turf. This is a vital step ahead of the full bloom in spring and will be done throughout the season if required to improve drainage, support deep root growth and lush lawn development.
Finally, alongside weekly mowing of the lawn, we also offer edging to ensure all areas of the turf are neat. With this terraced garden, edging is done along the barriers of the garden, as well as the garden paths and other borders to ensure a professional finish.
Weeding
Due to the sloped nature of terraced gardens, weeding by hand was the most effective method for this landscape.
Weeding is also part of our regular maintenance package to ensure they do not overpower other plants or damage the terrace structure, where we focus on stubborn weeds like dandelions and nettles.
In some cases, chemical treatments have been used across the garden to remove weeds and prevent their regrowth. A similar method may also be used in the future of this garden maintenance service if we notice more persistent growth, but for now, hand weeding is enough for upkeep.
Pruning & Hedge Cutting
Pruning is essential for maintaining the shape and health of trees, shrubs, and climbing plants and is offered across this terraced garden maintenance to prevent the space from becoming shadowed. In this terraced garden, several hedges and trees need regular pruning no just to maintain the visual appeal of the space, but also the health.
In the spring and summer seasons, we will continue this regular pruning of trees and shrubs. As part of regular garden maintenance, our team will continue to cut back dead or diseased wood from the shrubs and trees, to support ongoing growth.
Regular hedge trimming is also necessary in this garden maintenance package, as it ensures that any hedges framing the garden terrace remain neat, formal, and in shape.
Chemical Treatments
To give this garden the best chance ahead of its full spring and summer bloom, we have applied some chemical treatments. Preventative fungicides have been applied on flower beds and trees to prevent diseases from spreading as the weather warms up, and soil pH has been adjusted to ensure the healthy growth of new plants and shrubs in the future.
Seasonal Clean-Up & Maintenance
Our regular garden maintenance ensures that this terraced garden is free from debris and in a safe state, allowing our clients to take advantage of their beautiful landscape whenever they desire.
As part of our seasonal clean-up, as we get the landscape ready for spring, we have removed fallen leaves from the lawn and paths to prevent moss build-up. The terrace pathway has also been cleaned by our team and will continue to be maintained as the season progresses.
Soil & Mulch Care
Now the plants are ready to bloom and flower, we have aerated the soil to prevent compaction. Aeration also ensures excellent drainage, which allows us to regularly water and fertilise the plants without complication. There is a lot of greenery in this garden that needs to be maintained regularly, and a fresh layer of mulch has been applied around particular areas to support ongoing spoil health.
Aeration will continue to be performed by our garden maintenance team as we tend to this garden, to ensure no issues appear which can cause the plants to dial. Mulch will also be replaced as the season progresses to continue supporting the flower beds.
Ongoing Care
By regularly tending to these aspects of garden maintenance, we ensure that this terraced garden in Reigate remains a beautiful and thriving space.
The combination of careful lawn care, pruning, weed management, and targeted chemical treatments will not only enhance the beauty of the garden itself but also ensure those sweeping views remain unobstructed and inviting all year round. Our work continues on this garden and we are proud to be a trusted name for garden maintenance.
