Garden maintenance in Horley

A regular visit that keeps a Horley garden in hand all year, without you organising anything.

Regular garden maintenance in Horley suits the way a lot of the town lives. Roughly a third of residents work in London, Redhill or Reigate, another third at Gatwick or in Crawley, and the garden is the job nobody has time for midweek. We turn up on a set day, do what’s due, and take the waste away.

It’s the same team every visit, so we know where the side gate sticks, which shrub is about to flower and which corner of the lawn stays wet until April. You don’t rebook each time, and nobody has to be home.

What garden maintenance in Horley looks like through the year

Spring visits are mostly mowing, edging and getting ahead of the weeds before they seed. Summer is mowing at a higher cut, deadheading and trimming hedges once nests are checked. Autumn brings leaves, and near the Mole, where willow and poplar line the banks, a lot of them. Then the main hedge cuts. Winter is quiet on the lawn, since we stay off it when it’s sodden, and busier on structural jobs like rose pruning and cutting back.

Fortnightly is the sweet spot for most gardens here

Weekly suits a big lawn in May and June. Monthly is too thin for most Horley gardens in the growing season, because clay feeds growth and things run away between visits. Fortnightly hits the balance for the typical family garden in town, and it’s what we’d recommend unless there’s a reason not to. We drop back over winter, then pick up again in March.

We’d usually start a new garden on fortnightly and adjust after the first season, once we’ve seen how it grows and where the wet patches are. Garden services in Horley don’t need to be set in stone.

Garden Maintenance in Horley: your questions

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

Are you actually based in Horley?

Yes, RH6 is home. People looking for gardeners in Horley, Surrey usually want someone who isn’t driving in from the far side of the county. Short trips mean we can move a visit to the next dry day without fuss.

What do garden maintenance prices depend on?

Garden size, what’s in it, and how often we come. A small courtyard with one hedge is a very different job to a long plot with deep borders. After a look we’ll give you a fixed price per visit.

Can I change what’s included?

Yes. If you’d rather do the borders yourself and leave us the lawn and hedges, that’s fine. Tell us and we’ll change the visit to suit.

Is there a minimum contract?

No. It’s a rolling arrangement with no minimum term. If things change, we adjust the visits or stop.
