Not sure which service you need?
Plenty of jobs cross over. An overgrown garden might need clearing, then new turf and a fence. A tree shading the lawn might be pruned rather than felled. Send Craig a few photos and a short description and he will tell you how he would tackle it. Craig holds a Horticulture Level 3 diploma, so advice on plants, trees and lawns comes from training as well as practice.
Work is taken on for homeowners and for businesses. Private customers tend to book one-off jobs or regular garden visits, while landlords, schools, care homes and business premises usually prefer a planned schedule. Both get the same approach: a look at the job, a clear price for the agreed work, and the waste taken away at the end.
