Garden Maintenance

What is garden maintenance? Everything from dividing and rearranging plants, to pruning and styling shrubs and small trees. Some clients want to preserve their beautiful garden, some a bit of rearranging and others a complete overhall. Here are some examples of the work we do and properties we maintain.

Relax

After finishing construction on a subdivision, the client wanted to create a comfortable green space for them and their family to spend time outside. This easy to maintain garden was designed to be a place to relax and enjoy.

Overgrown

This small garden bed was in dire need of some care. The trees were causing problems with the house and the garden bed was overrun with roots and weeds. We quickly got to work, removing the trees, weeds and exposing the beautiful orange flowering ixora hedge that was hidden beneath. You would struggle to find someone that loves trees more than me but even I recognise that sometimes people plant the wrong thing in the wrong spot and it needs to removed. Fortunately, the garden bed is now ready for new plants, and the client is thrilled with the results!

Paths and edges

This small but high traffic garden needed a face lift and easier access for a family that loves cycling. After cleaning the area, we added flagstone paths and edging for a raised bed with yews that will screen the porch in years to come.

Reclaiming space

A failed attempt at a vegetable garden left this space in need of some love. After removing the weeds, rescuing the lavender and cleaning the area, we added a cottage garden with a variety of perennials and annuals. The client is looking forward to enjoying the space and watching it grow.

Coaching

After finishing the renovations on their home the clients needed a new garden to match. The client wanting to learn more about gardening, joined us for coaching from start to finish of the garden construction. We brought in high quality soil, added rocks to the slopes, planted a variety of perennials, shrubs and trees. The client has become a true green thumb and is looking forward to watching the garden grow and applying their new skills.

Things change

A busy few years and gardens not only get neglected but they change. This garden had a design that worked well but years later plants outgrew others, some died and one even caught on fire (true story!). The client called us to have a look and see what we could do. We removed dead plants, pruned others, relocated burnt plants to shader locations and divided others to fill in the gaps.

Helping hands

This garden was designed by a landscape architect and the client wanted to keep it looking good. The client would join us as we maintained the garden together by pruning, weeding, fertilizing and treating. Tea and cookies were always provided and we enjoyed the time we spent together.
