Hedging

Repeated tip pruning of hedges leaves them looking full, lush and encourages new growth. Give some formal character to your garden. We can hedge to a height of 2.4m with a keen eye for detail.

Pruning

Pruning for shape or for function. Seasonal pruning maximises the flowering or fruiting potential for many species. For many fruit trees, timely pruning will see considerable results when it comes time to harvest. For ornamental species, pruning can give shape to key garden elements and elevate your overall garden design.

Planting

Wanting to add more plants to your garden? Understandable…who doesn’t! Less interested in digging around in the dirt? Again, understandable. Leave it to us. We can make recommendations for suitable plants and also source these for you. Our planting service also extends to repotting and reconditioning of indoor and outdoor pot plants.

Mulching

Mulching assists in retaining moisture in the soil, suppresses weeds and also breaks down into organic matter contributing to your soil. We can arrange a mulch delivery and then distribute it in your garden beds for an all-round benefit and an enhanced finish.

Fertilising

Sometimes our plants could use a little help. We can apply organic fertilisers to your ornamentals, edibles and lawns to keep them happy and healthy throughout the seasons.

Pest Control

Pests come with the territory of gardening. We use natural products to treat and control unwanted guests. We can also implement integrated pest management practices, whereby beneficial insects are encouraged to your space to assist in controlling those that are less desirable.

Soil Improvement

The soil of a garden is a crucial element to its success. We can test and improve soil over time with the addition of organic matter and other amendments. Our gardening methods aim to avoid disrupting the soil profile thereby maintaining beneficial soil biota.

Compost Establishment

We can assist in the establishment and maintenance of a compost or vermiculture (worm) system. Food scraps, garden waste and other household items can be retained and processed in situ within your garden. This reduces the amount of household waste going into landfill, and also produces a valuable garden resource.
