Who we are
A small crew that stays with your garden.
We started as two gardeners with a van and a list of neighbours. We still work the same way: we only design what we can look after, and we come back.
Every garden has one crew lead who knows its soil, its shade and its owner's plans.
- We design what we can look after
- One crew lead per garden
- Green waste taken away and composted

Good to know
Questions we hear on the first walk.
Plain answers on areas, cost, building work and what happens to the clippings. Anything else, ask us when we visit.
Ask the crewThe towns listed at the foot of this page and the villages between them. If you sit just outside, ask: a short drive is rarely a problem.Service areas are a configurable list — set them in the site settings.
No. We take on established gardens too. We start with a first walk to learn the beds, then a tidy-up visit before regular care begins.
A fixed fee for the garden plan, then a written quote for the planting and any building work, so you know the cost of each stage before it starts.Example terms — set these in the site settings.
Yes, as part of a design. The same crew lead oversees the hard landscaping and the planting, so the two are planned together.
We take it away on the day of the visit and compost it. You are left with swept paths and nothing to bag up.
Anything we plant that fails in its first year is replaced at no charge, as long as the care plan we leave with you has been followed.Example guarantee — set the terms in the site settings.
Start with a walk around your garden.
About forty minutes, no charge, and a written next step.
