Limitations & Specialist Requests

We aim to be transparent about what’s included and where a bespoke approach is needed:

• Tree works beyond light pruning: For significant reductions, felling, or work at height, we assess on site and may schedule a specialist visit or propose tree-pruning as a separate service.
• Diseased or protected plants: We’ll flag any concerns, recommend safe handling, and follow local regulations, including checks for Tree Preservation Orders where applicable.
• Large-scale landscaping: For new layouts, patios, or major soft landscaping, we can scope this under soft-landscaping with separate planning.
• Chemicals and herbicides: We use treatments responsibly and only with your permission. Child- and pet-friendly approaches are available; we can focus on manual control if preferred.
• Access and constraints: Limited access, steep slopes, or restricted parking in North London may affect the method and duration. We’ll advise what’s feasible safely.
• Wildlife and nesting season: We avoid disturbing active nests and will adapt pruning accordingly to comply with wildlife guidance.

If your garden has unusual species, irrigation systems, or heritage features, please mention this when booking so we can allocate the right team and tools.

Local Service In North London

Gardens across North London are varied—front plots with limited access, shared side passages, basement steps, and larger lawns on residential streets. We’re used to navigating tight entrances and coordinating parking in N zones. If you can reserve a space or provide visitor permits, that helps us keep the day running smoothly. Where vehicle access is restricted, we plan for extra handling time.

Common scenarios we handle in North London:

• Courtyard gardens needing a focused weed prevention plan
• Family gardens where safe, child- and pet-conscious treatments are preferred
• Established borders needing careful attention to shrubs and perennials
• Lawns that benefit from a light spring scarify and feed after winter stress
• Communal grounds for blocks and workplaces, delivered under our commercial grounds maintenance capability

We’re happy to coordinate with caretakers, managing agents, or neighbours to make your spring garden tidy seamless across N postcodes.

FAQs

• How much time should I book for a spring garden tidy? It depends on garden size and priorities. Share photos and a checklist and we’ll suggest a sensible slot and crew size for your North London property.

• Can you bring mulch and plants? Yes. We can supply mulch, soil improver, and seasonal plants by prior arrangement. We’ll confirm quantities and costs in your quote.

• Do I need to be home? Not necessarily. With agreed access instructions, we can proceed and send an update with photos upon completion.

• What about herbicides for weed prevention? We prefer non-chemical methods first. If a treatment is appropriate, we’ll discuss options and safety considerations before any application.

• Will you prune all shrubs in spring? Not all species should be pruned in spring. We identify plants and prune at the correct time, offering a plan for anything better left until summer or winter.

• Can you scarify and feed the lawn on the same visit? Light scarifying and spring feeding can often be combined, weather and lawn condition permitting. For heavy thatch, a staged plan may be advised.

• Do you remove green waste? Yes, green waste removal can be included. We price this based on volume and disposal requirements in North London.

• What if the weather is poor? Light rain is usually fine; severe weather may require rescheduling to ensure quality and safety. We’ll keep you informed.
