How often should you cut your lawn? A season-by-season guide
How often to mow in spring, summer, autumn and winter, the one-third rule, and what changes for small, shady London lawns.
Family-run gardeners in Sydenham, SE26
We are a hard-working family business looking after gardens, patios, balconies and front paths across London. Tell us what needs doing and we will give you a free quote.
What we do
From one overgrown planter to a whole garden that has got away from you. Pick what you need, or just tell us what you are looking at.
Hedges cut back neat and square, front and back, low or tall.
Old, dead or unwanted hedges taken out, so you can start again.
Trees that are too big, too close to the house or past saving, cut down.
Lawns mowed and edged, as a one-off or through the season.
Beds, borders, patios and paths weeded, right down into the joints.
Overgrown gardens, fallen leaves and debris cleared so you can use the space again.
Regular visits to keep the lawn, hedges and weeds under control.

We turn up when we said we would, do the job properly and leave it tidy.
