Soil Conditioning, Spraying and Feeding Programme
The health of your garden relies on the overall health of your soil. A healthy soil will grow healthy plants that will flourish throughout the year. We can work alongside you in your garden or your existing service provider (gardener) to carry out these works throughout the year. We have the expert knowledge to carry out he tasks with you or your service provider (gardener).
We can assess your garden for the general health of your soil, whether it needs re nourishment and feeding and if your plants need regular spraying of insecticide fungicide to keep them healthy.
Generally, a well-designed garden meeting current trends will have all or some of the following plants:
Roses
Bay Trees
Yew Hedging
Box Hedging
A Lawn
Hydrangeas (both types – Mophead, Annabelles and Limelights)
Camillias and a host of others
These plants all require to be as healthy as possible for them to preform to the best of their abilities. All do require feeding for strong growth and spraying to keep all pests such as greenfly, disease ( blackspot, boxblight) and fungal infections away. Met Eireann can issue blight warning throughout the year so this is kept an eye on for pressure points during the year.
Treatment can be carried out at least annually but quarterly or twice yearly would be recommended. A well-designed garden is like a pedigree and requires looking after to the highest standards. We are fully qualified in the safe use of all horticultural feeds and sprays.

Lawn Health and Feeding
The lawn in your garden is an important feature and will invariably give the onlooker the overall impression of your garden as to whether it is looking good or not. Nothing beats a lush green healthy lawn that’s weed free and strong.
A lawn that is full of weeds, moss and not that strong looking will never do anything for the overall impression of your garden. To make it look sharp, we recommend a number of things:
Implement a fertilisation programme. We can decide what to use and when upon initial assessment of your lawn
Implement a spraying programme, again decided upon initial assessment
Spreading of manure pellets on lawn to increase the crumb structure of the soil leading to more aeration which leads to a less compact and healthy lawn
Blade edging against a kerb edging will always give a sharp look to your lawn separating it slightly from the hard surface
We can also recommend and carry out scarification and aerating using commercial grade machines if it is required.
At the minimum in a well-designed garden that’s professionally constructed, a fertilisation programme should be implemented. This will keep the lawn strong and lush without it being into remedial works such as scarifying and aerating.
We can identify what is required on an initial assessment and once booked in we come and do it quarterly, so it avoids you ringing each time you think its required.
We use professional grade products on all over lawn treatments and are fully qualified in the safe use of such products. We will use the correct products on your lawn.
All items used in your garden are logged and records kept on a word document which is added to on each visit to your garden.
