How It Works
A calm, considered way to care for your garden
Becoming a Garden Care Plus client is simple and personal. Here's how the ongoing relationship works — from your first enquiry to years of reliable care.
The simple journey
From your first enquiry to regular Garden Care
Enquire
Send a few details about your garden and where you are. Alex replies personally to arrange a visit — no call centres, no forms lost in a queue.
Garden visit & consultation
Alex comes to walk your garden with you, see what it needs and hear what you'd like. It's a relaxed conversation at your home, with no obligation.
Your recommendation
Alex suggests the right plan — 3-hour or 6-hour Garden Care — and whether weekly or fortnightly suits your garden best, with honest, plain advice.
Regular Garden Care
Your agreed visits begin. The same trusted local gardener tends your garden every week or fortnight, all year round — getting to know it over time.
The relationship
The same gardener, getting to know your garden
This is what makes Garden Care Plus different. Over weeks and seasons, Alex comes to understand your garden's soil, light, plants and character — and tends it accordingly.
- Continuity — Alex remembers what was done, and what's next
- Trust — a familiar face at your home, every visit
- Anticipation — problems spotted early, before they grow
- Peace of mind — your garden is simply always looked after
Why it's year-round
Your garden doesn't stop — and neither does the care
It's natural to think of garden care as a summer thing. But a garden that's only tended from May to September loses ground it never quite recovers. The reason Garden Care Plus runs all year is simple: the work that makes a garden beautiful is mostly done when no one's looking.
What a winter pause really costs
Stop for four months and the consequences stack up: borders smothered under leaf litter, lawns thinned by moss and compaction, shrubs that outgrow their space, and problems — a dying branch, a failing plant — that go unnoticed until they're expensive to fix. By spring you're paying to put things right, not to move them forward.
Keep the rhythm going and the opposite happens. Alex stays ahead of the seasons: pruning at the right moment, clearing before problems set in, and quietly preparing your garden so that when spring arrives, it's already in good order — and gets better from there.
Spring
First cuts of the year, feeding borders, mulching, dividing perennials and waking the garden up for the season ahead.
Summer
Weekly mowing, deadheading, hedge trimming, watering and keeping everything tidy through the busiest growing months.
Autumn
Leaf clearance, cutting back perennials, lifting tender plants and preparing beds so the garden settles cleanly into winter.
Winter
Pruning dormant trees and shrubs, structural tidying, protecting tender plants, clearing storm debris and planning next year — the quiet work that decides how the garden performs.
Same trusted gardener, same fortnightly or weekly rhythm — just the work shifts with the seasons. That continuity is what keeps a garden flourishing year after year.
