The most important step to planting a new flower bed is to visualize the future. While your bed might not look like much when it’s first planted, in a few months it will be much fuller, taller, and more colourful. The key is anticipating the heights, colours, textures, and mass of all the various plants. Shrubs are great low-maintenance plants and most only need the occasional trim to look good. Shrubberies are still popular in traditional gardens, but for a more contemporary look use shrubs as low and medium-height hedges or plant in large, clipped blocks. These can be tightly trimmed or left to grow more loosely depending on your taste. Complete your garden with a colourful vegetable garden. Salad greens and herbs are some of the easiest crops for a kitchen garden. With a kitchen garden, families can be happier and more active by growing awesome food with their own hands.

There are procedures which should be followed to achieve a healthy green and weed free lawn, it’s not just mowing and watering the lawn. It takes some time and attention and using specialist products to achieve the best results. Whether your lawn is beyond repair and needs a complete over-haul or just needs a little ‘TLC’ to bring it back to form, I can advise you of the best course of action to be taken. Whatever that may be e.g. cutting off the old lawn, applying new topsoil and re-turfing, cutting off the old lawn and re-seeding, scarifying the lawn, top dressing and over-seeding or simply a ‘weed and feed’ treatment to bring your lawn back into shape. I will always recommend what I believe to be the best option for your lawn and your pocket. Turf is an easy way to replace a patchy lawn with bright, even grass, but only if you do it the right way. By cleaning up your old lawn, adding some fertilizer, and rolling out the new turf properly, you can have a brand-new looking lawn in no time.

Garden Revolution offer all types of hedge services whether it’s replacing an existing hedge, planting a new hedge or trimming/pruning a hedge. Regular hedge trimming helps keep the hedge dense and healthy by preventing the foliage from growing past a certain length. We can reduce hedges in width and height or just give them a good trim. Hedge cutting seasons and the frequency of cutting depends on the species, but as a rule of thumb, formal evergreens like box or privet should be trimmed around two to three times a year during the growing season (around May to September); and some fast-growing conifers like leylandii may need trimming more frequently to keep them in control. Hedges can be included in our regular maintenance agreements or as a one-off job. Planting new trees and hedges is not a difficult job, but one to get right, if you want your new plants to have the best start in life. The most important considerations are root health, weather, soil conditions and aftercare. Trees and hedges provide height, so give an extra dimension to your garden. With careful selection they can also provide colour for seasonal interest throughout the year whether with flowers, fruit, autumn leaves or winter silhouettes. Select the right size and number of trees to fit with the size of your garden, bearing in mind the mature height and spread. Look to have one or two trees in a small to medium garden. Too many trees or potentially large trees may outgrow their space. We can offer you suggestions for trees and shrubs suitable for the conditions in your garden.

Garden irrigation systems are fast becoming the must have addition for gardens throughout the UK. Irrigation systems are automatic by design and take the leg work out of watering the garden, freeing up the time gardeners would have usually spent watering their plants. The other excellent benefit of using a garden irrigation system is the efficiency. A reduction of up to 90% water can be achieved by using a drip irrigation system instead of using the traditional garden hose. It takes a lot of know-how to figure out how many zones to install and which sprinkler head goes where. A poorly designed system will waste water.
