Lawn renovation
Scarifying, aerating, overseeding and an autumn feed to bring a tired lawn back thick and green.
Guildford · Bramley · Godalming · Surrey
Gardens kept properly, visit after visit.
Local garden maintenance, clearances and landscaping from Andrew McHale and team. Lawns, hedges, borders and new planting, done carefully and left spotless.
What we do
Garden care, start to finish
One-off jobs or regular visits. Either way we turn up when we say we will, work hard, and leave everything tidy.
Mowing & maintenance
Regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits: mowing, edging, weeding and keeping borders in shape.
Hedge trimming
Neat maintenance trims and heavier reductions, including tall hedges with our long-reach cutter. Autumn is the main hedge season.
Garden clearance
Overgrown and neglected gardens cut back and cleared: brambles, ivy, long grass and shrubs, with the green waste dealt with.
Landscaping: turf & planting
New lawns laid on properly prepared ground, and new beds and borders dug, improved and planted.
Leaf clearance & tidy-ups
Autumn leaf clearance and full garden tidy-ups to get things back under control.
Pressure washing
Patios, paths and driveways cleaned of moss, algae and grime.

Autumn lawn renovation
A better lawn by spring
Summer leaves lawns thin, compacted and full of moss and dead thatch. Our renovation fixes the causes, not just the look, while the soil is still warm enough for new grass to establish.
The lawn looks a bit rough for two or three weeks afterwards. That's normal: the new grass comes through thicker and greener in time for spring.
