Garden tidy general in Sidmouth

### When The Garden Has Got Away From You

It happens. **Life gets busy.** One weekend you meant to tidy up becomes a month, becomes three months, becomes "oh god, I can't even see the path anymore."

Or maybe you're keeping on top of it but it's taking every spare hour and you'd rather be enjoying the garden than endlessly maintaining it.

Either way, you need help getting it back to manageable.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Regular light tidying (monthly or fortnightly) is far easier and cheaper than letting it build up then doing a massive clearance. Prevention beats cure.

### What "General Tidy" Actually Means

It's not redesigning your garden or heavy landscaping. It's the regular maintenance stuff that keeps gardens looking good:

| ✅ General Tidy Includes | ❌ Not Part of Basic Tidy | |-------------------------|---------------------------| | Clearing dead/dying plants | Major pruning or tree work | | Weeding borders and paths | Planting new beds | | Sweeping hard surfaces | Pressure washing | | Light trimming of overgrowth | Hedge cutting | | Edging lawns | Full lawn care program | | Removing obvious rubbish | Heavy clearance/demolition |

**The goal?** Making your garden look cared for without major work.
