What we do

Gardening, maintenance and outdoor services across South East Cornwall

Regular garden maintenance from £30 per hour, plus clearances, hedge cutting, planting, Cornish hedging and practical outdoor work — taken on as ongoing visits or one-off jobs across South East Cornwall.

01

Regular Garden Maintenance

From £30 per hour · 4-hour minimum

Dependable ongoing care that keeps gardens tidy, healthy and manageable, arranged around your garden rather than a fixed package.

Regular visits keep a garden under control rather than letting it get away from you. Most of our customers settle into a weekly, fortnightly or monthly visit, and the work changes sensibly with the season.

Landlords, holiday lets, second homes and managed properties are looked after between changeovers and through the quieter months, so the garden always looks cared for.

  • Mowing, edging and lawn care
  • Weeding of beds, borders and paths
  • Pruning of garden plants and shrubs
  • Hedge trimming
  • Border maintenance
  • General seasonal gardening and tidying

02

Garden Clearances

Overgrown or neglected gardens brought back under control — vegetation cut back, brambles tackled, beds and borders cleared and the green waste taken away.

Gardens get away from people — a change of tenant, a house sale, a spell of ill health or simply a good Cornish growing season can leave an outside space that no longer feels usable.

Clearance work is about getting the garden back under control: cutting back what has taken over, uncovering what is worth keeping, and leaving it in a state that can realistically be maintained afterwards. Suitable for everything from a smaller tidy-up to a substantial one-off clearance.

  • Cutting back overgrown vegetation
  • Brambles and unwanted growth tackled
  • Beds, borders and paths cleared
  • Green waste removed and responsibly disposed of
  • Lettings, sales and probate property clearances
  • Practical advice on keeping it manageable

03

Cornish Hedging

A traditional Cornish skill

Traditional Cornish hedge construction and repair for gardens, boundaries and rural properties.

The Cornish hedge is one of the oldest man-made structures still in everyday use, and it deserves to be built and repaired properly — stone and turf, in the traditional manner, rather than shortcuts.

Pricing depends on the length, the condition of the existing bank, access to the site and the materials required, so this work is always individually quoted.

  • Repair of slumped or collapsed hedge sections
  • Traditional stone and turf hedge building
  • Garden, boundary and rural property hedges
  • Face clearing and hedge bank maintenance
  • Seasonal cutting back of hedge tops
  • Sympathetic to wildlife and wildflowers

04

Planting & Garden Preparation

Preparation of beds and borders, soil improvement, planting and mulching to establish attractive, manageable garden areas.

Prepared and newly planted garden border in South East Cornwall

Good planting starts below ground. Beds are prepared and soil improved before anything goes in, so plants establish rather than struggle.

Suitable for refreshing an existing border or preparing a new planting area. Planting choices take account of exposure, salt-laden wind and Cornwall's mild, wet winters.

  • Bed and border preparation
  • Soil improvement, mulching and feeding
  • Shrub, hedging and perennial planting
  • Reworking and replanting tired borders
  • Coastal and exposed-site planting advice
  • Aftercare guidance once planting is done

05

Hedge Cutting & Pruning

Regular or one-off hedge cutting and pruning to keep gardens tidy and manageable.

Hedges and shrubs are cut and shaped at sensible times of year, whether that is an annual reduction of an established boundary hedge or ongoing trimming as part of a maintenance round.

Pricing depends on the size of the hedge, access to it and the amount of waste generated, so this work is quoted individually.

  • Annual and one-off hedge cutting
  • Shaping and reduction of established hedges
  • Pruning of garden shrubs and plants
  • Ongoing trimming as part of regular visits
  • Arisings cleared and taken away
  • Timed sensibly for the plant and nesting season

06

Lawn Cutting & Turfing

Lawn cutting as part of regular visits, plus ground preparation and new turf where a lawn needs replacing.

Lawns are cut, edged and kept in good order through the growing season, either on regular visits or as a one-off cut where a lawn has got away.

Where a lawn is past saving, the ground is cleared, levelled and prepared before fresh turf is laid, so the new lawn establishes properly.

  • Regular and one-off lawn cutting
  • Edging and lawn tidying
  • Ground clearance and levelling
  • Soil preparation before turfing
  • New turf supplied and laid
  • Aftercare advice for a new lawn

07

Fencing

Garden fencing supplied, built and repaired across South East Cornwall. From traditional feather-edge and close-board fencing to hit-and-miss, panel fencing and bespoke garden boundaries, we can build a solution to suit the property, exposure and required level of privacy.

Fencing is quoted individually, as the cost depends on the length of the run, the ground conditions, access and the materials chosen.

  • Feather-edge / close-board fencing
  • Hit-and-miss fencing
  • Panel fencing
  • Timber posts, rails and gravel boards
  • Boundary and garden fencing

Patios, paths, steps and other suitable hard surfaces cleaned to lift moss, algae and general Cornish green growth.

Surfaces are assessed first — not everything is suitable for pressure washing, and it is better to say so than to damage something. Send a photograph and we can advise.

  • Patios and terraces
  • Paths, steps and pathways
  • Suitable outdoor hard surfaces
  • Moss and algae removal
  • Tidied up afterwards
  • Free quote on request

09

Green Waste Removal

Removal and responsible disposal of the green waste produced during gardening work and clearances.

Green waste generated during maintenance visits, hedge cutting and clearances can be taken away and disposed of responsibly.

Cost depends on the quantity of waste and the disposal required, so it is quoted alongside the work itself rather than at a fixed rate.

  • Waste from maintenance and clearance work
  • Hedge and pruning arisings
  • Responsible disposal
  • Priced by quantity and disposal required
  • Quoted with the work itself
  • Site left clean and tidy

Garden Improvements & Landscaping

Practical garden improvements and small landscaping projects that sit naturally alongside the gardening work.

Paths, gravelled areas, edging and other practical improvements that make a garden easier to use and easier to look after.

Send us a description and a few photographs and we will tell you whether it is a job we can take on and what it is likely to cost.

  • Gravel paths and hard-standing areas
  • Timber edging and garden features

Pricing and larger work

Regular garden maintenance starts at £30 per hour. Standard bookings are subject to a 4-hour minimum, helping us provide an efficient and reliable service across South East Cornwall. Everything else — clearances, hedge cutting, Cornish hedging, pressure washing, waste removal and larger projects — is individually quoted, because the cost depends on the size of the job, access, materials, the waste generated and how long it will realistically take. Free quotes, with no obligation.
