Garden maintenance in Brockham

Regular visits for Brockham gardens, planned round clay winters, dry greensand summers and bonfire week.

Regular garden maintenance in Brockham suits a lot of households, because the gardens are a decent size and spare time isn’t. Most homes in the parish are houses with gardens of their own. The 2011 census counted more than 900 detached and semi-detached homes, and only 104 flats.

Our gardening services in Brockham run on a fixed day, fortnightly through the growing season for most people, and do whatever the garden needs that visit. Mowing and edges every time, beds weeded, hedges and shrubs as they come due, leaves in autumn. The same team each visit, and the waste goes with us.

Garden maintenance in Brockham through the year

In March the clay lawns south of the river need watching more than cutting until they firm up, while sandy gardens up Brockham Lane are ready weeks earlier. Summer is cutting, edging, deadheading and keeping beds clean. By September the hedges have their main cut. Late autumn is leaves, and with trees in gardens and along the lanes there are usually plenty. Winter is pruning, mulching and the structural jobs you can’t see to with everything in leaf.

Fortnightly or monthly: what we’d suggest

Fortnightly is the right rhythm for most family gardens here between April and October. Monthly can work for a small, simply planted garden. On clay, though, the grass gets away in May, and the first cut back after a gap is a struggle for the lawn. Through winter we drop to monthly visits for leaves, pruning and tidying. You don’t need to be in when we come, as long as we can get into the garden.

Garden Maintenance in Brockham: your questions

Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.

Are you local enough for regular visits?

We’re based in Horley, roughly 6.5 miles away, and Brockham sits well inside the 15 miles or so we cover. That’s close enough to shift a visit for weather without losing the week.

Can I add jobs on the day?

Yes, tell us or leave a note. If it’s quick we’ll do it there and then. If it’s bigger we’ll price it and book it in.

How much is garden maintenance in Brockham?

Garden size, what’s growing in it and how often we visit all play a part. We’ll walk round with you, agree what’s included and give you a fixed price per visit. There are no surprises on the invoice.
