Garden maintenance in Newdigate

Regular visits that keep a large Newdigate garden in hand through every season.

Regular garden maintenance in Newdigate is mostly about staying ahead. Gardens here are big, the clay is fertile and the countryside is right over the fence, so brambles, nettles and self-sown seedlings are always trying to move in. A fortnightly visit through the growing season keeps on top of it, with the lawn cut and edged, the borders weeded and the hedges kept in shape.

We’re a family-run firm based in Horley, about 4.5 miles away, and we’ve been doing this since 2004. If you’ve searched for gardening services near me from an RH5 postcode, you’ll get the same team at every visit, so nobody new has to have the garden explained to them.

Garden maintenance in Newdigate: what a visit looks like

Grass first, while it’s dry, then edges and strimming round posts and beds. After that the time goes wherever the garden needs it most. In spring that’s weeding before it gets away. In summer it’s deadheading and keeping hedges off the paths. In autumn it’s leaves, and a wooded parish like this one drops a lot of them. We take all the green waste away each time, so there’s no heap quietly rotting behind the shed.

Garden maintenance near me: how prices are worked out

We don’t publish a price list, because two gardens on the same Newdigate lane can be very different jobs. One is mostly lawn and easy to get round. The next has a narrow side gate, a long native hedge and three deep borders. So we come and look, ask what you want from the garden, and give you a fixed price per visit. Regular visits cost less per visit than occasional rescues, because a garden kept in hand takes less time.

Garden Maintenance in Newdigate: your questions

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

How often should a big garden be visited?

Fortnightly through spring and summer suits most larger gardens here, dropping to monthly over winter for leaves, pruning and tidying. Weekly visits in May and June are worth it if everything’s growing hard.

Can you leave part of the garden wilder?

Yes. With fields and copses next door, a rougher strip at the far end often suits a rural garden. We’ll keep the parts near the house sharp and cut the rest less often.

Is there a gardener in Newdigate who’ll do just the lawn?

We will, if that’s all you need. Most gardens benefit from more than a mow, so we might suggest what else would help, but the choice is yours.
