Garden maintenance in Smallfield

One regular visit that keeps a Smallfield garden tidy while you’re at Gatwick, Redhill or London.

Regular garden maintenance in Smallfield suits the way the village works. The parish’s own neighbourhood plan describes a commuting community, with people heading off to Gatwick, Crawley, Redhill and London, and the garden is the job that gets pushed to Sunday. We come on a set day, do whatever’s due, and take every bit of waste with us.

It’s the same team every time. After a couple of visits we know where the lawn stays wet, which shrub wants cutting after it flowers, and that the side gate needs lifting to shut. You don’t rebook, and nobody needs to be in.

What garden maintenance in Smallfield looks like across the year

Spring is mowing, edging and getting on top of weeds before they seed, though on Smallfield clay the lawn often has to wait until April. Summer means a higher cut in dry weeks, deadheading, and hedge trims once we’ve checked for nests. Autumn brings leaves, and in a parish that was once thick with oak there can be a lot of them. That’s when the big hedge cuts happen too. Winter is quiet on the grass, since we stay off a sodden lawn, and busier with rose pruning and cutting back.

Fortnightly suits most gardens here, but not all

For a typical Smallfield semi or detached house, fortnightly through the growing season is the sweet spot. It keeps clay-fed growth in check without paying for visits you don’t need. Bigger plots on the edge of the village, and farmhouse gardens out in the hamlets, often want weekly in May and June. A small bungalow garden can tick over monthly. People search for small garden maintenance near me and expect to be turned away. We won’t. Most gardens start on fortnightly and we adjust after the first season.

Garden Maintenance in Smallfield: your questions

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

Does someone need to be in when you visit?

No. As long as we can get into the garden, we’ll get on with it. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm.

What decides the price of a regular visit?

Garden size, what’s in it, and how often we visit. A long plot with deep borders takes longer than a lawn and one hedge. We’ll give you a fixed price per visit after a look round.

Am I tied into anything?

No. Visits roll on with no minimum term. If things change, we change the visits or stop.

Can I pick which gardening services are included?

Yes. If you’d rather keep the borders yourself and leave us the lawn and hedges, that’s fine. We’ll set the visit up to suit.
