Grounds Maintenance

In addition to our dedicated ecological, environmental and even edible landscape design services, we also offer environmentally friendly and comprehensive grounds maintenance. Our ongoing landscape maintenance service combines ecological and environmental understanding, science-based knowledge, and a passion for nature, to ensure your outdoor space continues to thrive. Some of the services included within our grounds maintenance service offering are:

• • Mowing and edging grass areas.
  • Pruning and weeding.
  • Cultivation of shrub beds, herbaceous borders, etc.
  • Cutting and trimming back of hedges.

We consider the environment and the surroundings at every step. Being landscape designers, we are green-fingered by nature. We take this one step further by ensuring we are as eco as possible in our approach. Our care for the environment is echoed by choosing to use battery-powered tools with no emissions for grounds maintenance and ensuring no chemicals are used.

Battery Powered Tools

The decision to use battery-powered tools is driven by our care for the environment and wanting to safeguard the landscape around us. The benefits go beyond that. Battery-powered tools allow for:

• • Greater flexibility – the lighter and typically smaller design allows for greater flexibility and maneuverability during use.
  • Greater accuracy – due to less intensive vibrations compared to a fuel-powered trimmer, a more accurate cut can be achieved.
  • Greater wellbeing – the less intensive vibrations are far better for the person using the tool. Staff wellbeing is particularly important to us.

No Chemicals

Despite being widely used by gardeners up and down the country, chemicals that are utilised in the garden have devastating effects on the natural and greater environment. This effects not only natural surroundings, but also wildlife as well as potentially endangering humans. It is quite worrying when you hear that some of the chemicals present in various pesticides have been linked to birth defects, mutations, and cancer in laboratory animals. Our policy to not use chemicals in our gardens means we:

• • Protect the environment – by not spraying and using harmful chemicals in our maintenance programs, there is no adverse effect on the wider environment.
  • Protect wildlife – harsh chemicals end up running off into water sources and down through the ground, causing irreparable damage to various animal species. By not using chemicals, we ensure these animals continue to thrive.
  • Protect humans – it is estimated that between one and five million people suffer pesticide poisoning around the world every year with a staggering twenty thousand deaths on average. Our designs do not contribute to this alarming statistic.
