Domestic and commercial maintenance

Plan ahead and save

For homeowners, we offer everything from a one-off tidy-up to a regular planned visit that keeps everything maintained, healthy and looking its best. For commercial clients, we provide scheduled maintenance contracts for business parks, retail sites, schools, housing associations and property managers.

Most hedge cutting is best carried out between late summer and late winter, because growth slows and plants recover well. Bird nesting season runs from March to August, and under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is illegal to damage or disturb an active nest — so a planned schedule is almost always cheaper than reactive work, keeping everything controlled, healthy and presentable.

FAQs

Maintenance questions

When is the best time to cut hedges?
Late summer to late winter, once growth has slowed. We avoid bird nesting season (March to August) wherever possible, as it's an offence to disturb an active nest.
Do you offer regular maintenance contracts?
Yes — we provide scheduled visits for homeowners and commercial sites alike, from a single seasonal tidy-up to a rolling year-round contract.
Is planned maintenance cheaper than a one-off job?
Usually, yes. Little and often keeps growth controlled and avoids the larger, more involved job that reactive work often turns into.
Do you handle commercial and estate-scale sites?
Yes — we maintain business parks, retail sites, schools and housing association grounds under scheduled contracts, alongside our residential work.
