Services We Provide
A winter garden tidy is a focused, seasonal package designed to prepare your space for cold, wet and windy weather. Typical tasks include:
- Cutbacks and protection:
- Winter cutbacks for shrubs and perennials (species-appropriate pruning and deadheading)
- Lifting and storing tender bulbs where needed; mulching beds; fleece, straw or frame protection to protect delicate plants for frost
- Tying in climbers and securing supports
- Hardscape cleaning:
- Clean paths and patios before winter to reduce slip risks
- Driveway, decking and paving wash-downs where suitable, plus algae and moss treatment
- Storm readiness:
- Prepare garden for storms by checking stakes, ties and trellises
- Light crown lift or corrective pruning of small trees and shrubs to remove weak, crossing or wind-damaged growth
- Clear gutters at low level where safe to access and remove debris from drains and channels
- Winter lawn care:
- Final seasonal lawn mow (weather/ground permitting), edging and leaf clearance
- Moss management, winter feed, and advice on traffic reduction and drainage
- General winter tidy:
- Leaf and debris removal; composting where appropriate
- Bed maintenance, border edging, and path sweeping
- Shed and boundary checks; minor fence tidies (non-structural)
- Waste collection and responsible green disposal
If you need a more extensive refresh, we can integrate related services such as autumn leaf clearance, garden clearance, hedge trimming, patio cleaning, or lawn care as part of a single visit or phased plan.
Limitations & Specialist Requests
We focus on safe, seasonal gardening tasks. For transparency:
- We do not remove protected trees or undertake high-risk tree works that require specialist arborists. For complex tree tasks, we can coordinate with trusted partners or provide a bespoke plan.
- Structural fence repairs, large landscaping builds and electrical/irrigation installations fall outside a standard winter tidy and would require a separate quote.
- Pressure washing and chemical treatments depend on surface condition, drainage and weather; some work may be rescheduled for safety.
- Severe access limits, steep banks, or hazardous materials may require a site assessment and tailored method statement.
If you’re unsure, ask during your enquiry. We’ll advise whether it’s included in a winter tidy or better suited to a different service, such as overgrown garden clearance or soft landscaping.
