Gardener & Garden Maintenance in Guildford

Garden maintenance in Guildford

Guildford is built on hills either side of the Wey valley, so plenty of gardens here are sloping or terraced. That makes mowing, hedge cutting and weeding slower work, and it is often the job owners are happiest to hand over.

Around Compton and Shalford, and in Bramley and Chilworth, village gardens tend to be larger, with long hedges and mature shrubs. Rented houses in and around Guildford also need their gardens tidying between tenants.

Chalk to the north, sand to the south

The chalk ridge of the Hog’s Back and North Downs runs through Guildford, giving thin, alkaline, free-draining soil on the higher ground, while south towards Shalford and Bramley the soils become sandier greensand. Both dry out in summer, so borders benefit from compost and mulch when they are replanted.

What we take on

• Lawns cut and edged, including sloping gardens
• Hedges trimmed and shaped
• Borders weeded and replanted
• Wisteria and wall climbers cut back
• Rental-property garden tidy-ups
