Gardening services

Grass cutting & strimming 

I'll cut your grass, strimmer round edges of fencing and drying poles etc and provide turf edging for that fresh clean look should you desire that too.

I can also provide lawn care services to get your lawn looking it's absolute best. This can involve treating your lawn to root out weeds such as dandelion and thistle as well as reseeding thin and bald patches.

Hedge trimming - 8 foot max

I will give your hedge that good close trim it so frequently requires during the spring and summer months for that tidy maintained look. Please note - 8 foot maximum height and trimmings must either fit in wheelie bin or will be black bagged for your personal disposal. 

Weeding

I will carry out weeding, by hand, on all areas covered by soil and areas covered by stones or chips. 

I can also weed and carry out moss removal between paving slabs, mono blocking or any other areas needing serviced. 

After weed removal and to keep weeds at bay I can carry out a pro active treatment by spraying strong weed killer ie Weedol, or if pets or children are a concern I can spray a more natural but effective solution made of vinegar and salt should you desire this service. 

Planting and plant care

I can prune and shape already existing plants. Cutting away old growth and deadheading to promote new stronger growth and flowering. 

I can feed your plants with the appropriate plant food to make them look their stunning best and prolong flowering all season long.

If you're looking to put new plants into the ground or in pots/planters I'm more than happy to share my years of knowledge on which plants may be best suited to a specific area.

 

I can plant and advise on your hanging baskets to ensure that explosion of colour all season long.

Light tree pruning

Although the big trees are tackled rightly so by the experts I am happy to do some light pruning on smaller trees up to 12 feet


Cleaning outdoor areas

Decking cleaning & maintenance 

After brushing your decking I will pre-soak it with a deck cleaning solution. I then use a powerful battery powered deck scrubbing brush to give your deck an intensive clean so it's free from all dirt, debris and mildew. 

Thought should also be given to the preservation of your decking. Once it's clean, I can also oil, stain, or paint your deck to help protect it from the Scottish elements. 

Painting of outdoor structures

Fence, shed and garage painting

I will paint or stain any wooden structure in your garden. From fences, sheds, garages, gazebos, benches etc

I can also pick up the paint/stain product for you, as a convenience, as long as the exact product info is given to me. 

Metal gates and railings painting

I will steel brush down your metal gate and railings to remove old debris and rust before applying an outdoor metal paint of your choice. 

I can also paint it in any design you want ie. alternating colors on spars, different coloured top and frame than spars etc. 

Protecting outdoor features 

I can paint or oil any of your garden furniture such as chairs, benches etc and decorative features such as gazebos. This adds years of life to these items. As you can see in the image below from this bench I oiled, you can see how it acts as a barrier in stopping the water soak in which would eventually start the rotting process. 

Planters made to order 

Medium 25cm x 25cm planters ( oiled ) like in pic above from £25.

*plants not included 

Large trough planters 100cm x 25cm as above, oiled  from £35

* plants not included 

Storage boxes 

I can also build different style storage boxes to disguise wheelie bins, barbecues or for keeping outdoor chairs and cushions in ( as in the pic below )

* Prices from £30 plus material costs 

Dealing with cuttings & weeds

 

It's best if you have a valid council brown bin garden waste permit. These are currently £52 Stirling/ £50 Clacks for the year. I can then use your brown bin for cuttings & weed disposal. Alternatively I can black bag any waste and you can dispose of it however you see fit. 

 

 

Pricing

Trying to provide pricing for individual tasks online is difficult as every garden size, shape and job requirements differ greatly. With that in mind it's far easier going with a standard hourly rate for all jobs. 

Please note -  there is a one hour minimum charge.   

Service Price
Standard man hour rate From £18
(Minimum charge of 1 hour)

"Great price and outstanding service I received from Ross. Have signed him up to come twice a month to keep on top of things."

Oliver - Stirling 

I cannot praise the work done by Ross over the last few weeks highly enough. My garden is at last looking the way it used to. The work is done properly and he knows what he is doing . In addition, he gave my large garage door it's second coat of paint today despite the heat! Thank you again - until next time. Margo
