Seasonal care
Four jobs through the year that decide whether a garden holds its shape or slowly loses it.
Spring cleanup, pruning, leaf removal and winter preparation.
A garden changes with the calendar and the work changes with it. Seasonal care covers the jobs that come round each year: clearing up in spring, pruning, removing leaves in autumn and getting the garden ready for winter.
None of these is complicated on its own. What matters is that they happen, at the right point in the year, by people who know what the garden is meant to look like. A shrub pruned with the plan in mind keeps the shape it was planted for.
This is the work that protects what was spent on design and planting. It is also the simplest way to keep an established garden looking cared for.
What is included

When this is the right sheet
- Winter has left the garden untidy and it needs clearing before growth starts.
- Shrubs and small trees have outgrown their space or lost their shape.
- Leaves are down across lawn and beds, or cold weather is coming and the garden is not ready.
- Which jobs you want done and which you prefer to do yourself.
- Any plants you are particular about, so they are pruned the way you like.
- Where leaves and cuttings can be gathered, and how we reach the back of the property.
None of this is required. It just makes the site visit more useful.
