General Garden Maintenance in Otford
Homes in Otford
With so many older cottages and period houses in the village, and later family homes among them, it helps to tell us what kind of property you have and how long the garden has been left to grow. A garden that has run wild is a different starting point from one that needs routine care. Our photo shows a border of ours before maintenance, and the review beside it praises the precision and care on a badly overgrown garden, along with good communication and sound advice.
“Gemzas garden maintenance did an absolutely fantastic job with such precision and care to make sure the wildly overgrown garden was neatly tidied. They worked in sweltering heat and completed the job beautifully. I called at very short notice and they kindly fit me in. The before photo I attach is the only one I have but the garden was actually more overgrown than this. You can see the end result in the after photos. Excellent communication and very good advice too on what would be best. Very happy! Thank you Lubo and his team 😊”
What matters for general garden maintenance in Otford
When a garden is overgrown, the first job is a clearance and tidy-up to bring it back into shape. After that, regular care stops it sliding back. If the cleared space would suit something new, our landscaping work covers patios, brick work, planters and fish ponds. To get started, use the call button and describe the garden as it is today.
- Say whether the garden is overgrown or simply needs routine care.
- Busy or overgrown spaces get a clearance and tidy-up first.
- Look for nests before any hedge is cut back: roughly March to August is the nesting season, and active nests are protected by law.
- Lawn renovation, such as scarifying and aerating, is usually a spring or autumn task.
Questions about general garden maintenance in Otford
Our garden has been left for a long time. Where do we start?
With a clearance and tidy-up, which is meant for overgrown or busy outdoor spaces. Once that is done, regular care can keep the garden from getting away from you again.
Is summer a bad time to tackle overgrown hedges?
It can be. The bird nesting season runs roughly from March to August, and the law protects active nests, so a hedge that birds are using is better left until the season has passed.
