Seasonal Garden Tidy-Up Service in Bournemouth, Christchurch, & Poole

During the booking process, let us know any specific tasks or priorities you’d like us to focus on. We may also ask for photos of your garden in advance to help your gardener plan effectively.

On the day, please ensure the garden is accessible and, if possible, move items like toys or furniture to make our job easier and help you get the most out of your visit. If you’re unable to move these items, don’t worry—we’ll handle it for you.

Lastly, please ensure the garden is free of any pet waste to maintain a safe and hygienic workspace.

Typical tasks include:

• mowing lawns and defining edges
• clearing fallen leaves & debris
• weeding & removing dead or unwanted plants
• pruning & deadheading
  shaping shrubs
• trimming hedges up to 3m in height.
• clearing & tidying borders
  other general gardening tasks
• option to include garden waste removal

Let us know your priorities, and we’ll focus on those first.

We’ll also try to advise on realistic timeframes to complete tasks, so you have a clear understanding of exactly what to expect before we get started.

We aim to work in most weather conditions, but if heavy rain or severe weather prevents us from completing the work, we’ll contact you to reschedule at the nearest available opportunity. Similarly, if we start a visit but are unable to finish due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ll let you know and rearrange to complete the work as soon as possible.

No, you don’t need to be present. As long as we can access your garden, we can complete the work and leave it tidy for you to enjoy.

No, generally not. We are fairly self-sufficient and use our own cordless battery-powered or petrol-powered machinery for all garden tidy-up tasks. If pressure washing has been arranged, we may require access to your outdoor tap, but this will be discussed with you in advance.

We also typically bring our own refreshments, and on longer visits, our gardeners may leave the property during break times.

Yes, you have the option to include waste removal for an additional fee when making your booking. The amount of waste we can remove depends on the package you choose:

• 2-Hour Garden Tidy-Up: Option to include 1 bag of waste.
• 4-Hour Garden Tidy-Up: Option to include 2 bags of waste.
• 8-Hour Garden Tidy-Up: Option to include 4 bags of waste.
• 12-Hour Garden Tidy-Up: Option to include 6 bags of waste.
• 16-Hour Garden Tidy-Up: Option to include 8 bags of waste.

If needed, additional waste can be removed beyond the package limit for a small extra charge, which can be arranged on the day. Alternatively, we’re happy to leave the waste neatly bagged or piled for your own disposal.

Our garden tidy-up packages are designed to suit a variety of garden sizes and tasks. Here’s a guide to help you choose:

• 2-Hour Package: Perfect for small to medium-sized gardens needing a quick spruce-up, such as weeding, light tidying, or grass cutting.
• 4-Hour Package: Ideal for medium to large gardens or smaller spaces with multiple tasks like hedge trimming, border work, or leaf clearance.
• 8-Hour Package: Suited for medium to large gardens requiring more in-depth work, such as tackling overgrowth or completing a range of tasks in one visit.
• 12-Hour and 16-Hour Packages: Best for medium to large gardens needing extensive work or very overgrown small gardens requiring significant attention.

If you’re unsure, choose a package that feels comfortable for your needs and budget. We’ll focus on your priorities during the visit and can recommend additional time or visits if necessary. Alternatively, you can send us a message on WhatsApp with your address and some photos of your garden and we will try to advise or arrange a visit.

Yes, you can split longer sessions across multiple visits. One option is to complete your booking, let us carry out the first visit, ensure you’re happy with everything, and then proceed to book the second visit. Alternatively, you can book the first session and afterwards book a second visit for another scheduled date.

Yes, you can book regular garden tidy-ups. Many customers schedule monthly, quarterly, six-monthly, or annual visits, while others prefer a more ad hoc approach, booking as and when required.

You can also benefit from discounted rates when booking regular garden maintenance visits on either a weekly or fortnightly basis.

Payment is simple. When your booking is confirmed, you’ll pay a small online booking fee to secure your slot. The remaining balance, including any additional charges such as extra waste bags (agreed with you during the visit), will be invoiced on the day of the visit.

Full payment is due on the day and is paid directly to the gardeners who complete the work, via bank transfer, card payment, or cash.

Bookings are subject to availability, and our online system allows you to view and select the earliest available slots. During busier periods, shorter duration visits are often easier to schedule, while availability for longer sessions may be more limited.
