Spring garden tidy

Refresh and tidy up

Winter can leave gardens looking tired, with fallen leaves, bare flower beds and overgrown shrubs.

Our team can:

• Clear away dead leaves, weeds and debris
• Trim hedges, trees and overgrown plants for a neat, well-maintained look
• Refresh borders and flower beds with fresh mulch or bark

For more ways to keep your garden tidy, read our seasonal garden maintenance guide.

Revive your lawn

A patchy, dull lawn can detract from an otherwise attractive property.

We can:

• Scarify and aerate your lawn to encourage healthy spring growth
• Reseed or lay fresh turf to cover bare patches
• Provide regular mowing and feeding to keep your lawn green and lush

If your lawn needs more intensive care, our lawn repair and restoration services can bring it back to life.

Add seasonal colour

Spring is all about fresh, vibrant colours, and adding seasonal plants can make your garden look welcoming in photos and viewings.

We can:

• Plant bright, seasonal flowers in beds, pots or hanging baskets
• Choose low-maintenance options to keep your garden looking its best with minimal effort
• Incorporate greenery to soften hard landscaping and create a natural flow

Improve outdoor living spaces

Outdoor areas are a big selling point for buyers and renters.

We can:

• Clean patios, decking and pathways with jet washing to remove dirt and algae
• Arrange outdoor furniture for an inviting and practical space
• Add subtle lighting to create evening ambience

Enhance your kerb appeal

First impressions count when selling your home, and a well-maintained front garden and exterior can make all the difference – a neat and well-kept garden suggests a cared-for home. Whether buyers are browsing online or visiting in person, the outside of your property sets the tone. Follow our kerb appeal checklist to make sure your home looks its best and attracts buyers from the moment they arrive:

Add finishing touches
Little details can make a big difference.

• Wash windows and frames for a sparkling finish
