Services
Garden Maintenance
Our comprehensive garden maintenance service keeps outdoor spaces immaculate year-round. We offer weekly/fortnightly grass cutting, hedge trimming, weeding, and seasonal tidy-ups using professional-grade equipment. Two dedicated teams service over 100 lawns weekly across North Yorkshire, ensuring perfect striped finishes with Hayter Harrier mowers. Regular maintenance contracts include tailored schedules for pruning, mulching, and planting to maintain optimal garden health and appearance.
Patio Design
We create bespoke patio areas using premium materials including natural stone, porcelain, and block paving. Our designs maximise usable outdoor space while complementing property architecture. With access to Marshalls and local stone suppliers, we offer extensive style options from traditional Yorkstone to contemporary porcelain. Each installation includes proper sub-base preparation and drainage to ensure lasting durability and aesthetic appeal.
Driveway Installation
Our driveway solutions combine functionality with visual appeal using materials like permeable block paving, resin-bound surfaces, and natural stone. We design and install durable driveways that enhance property kerb appeal while meeting practical requirements. All installations follow proper groundwork procedures including excavation, sub-base compaction, and edge restraint systems to prevent movement and ensure long-term performance.
Fencing Solutions
We supply and install a comprehensive range of fencing systems including feather edge, lap panels, and contemporary designs. As approved agents for Knox Sawmills, we offer high-quality timber fencing alongside custom wrought iron options through specialist partners. Our installations ensure secure, weather-resistant boundaries with proper post concreting and bracing systems for enhanced durability in all weather conditions.
Planting Schemes
Our planting services create year-round visual interest through carefully curated plant combinations. Working with local garden designers, we develop schemes that balance aesthetics with practicality, incorporating winter-flowering shrubs and seasonal colour displays. We prepare soil beds thoroughly and use appropriate planting techniques to ensure healthy growth, offering both formal bedding displays and naturalistic planting arrangements tailored to each garden's unique conditions.
