Spring garden prep to clear winter mess and get beds ready for planting. I handle clearing, weeding, path sweeping, and waste removal - you get a fresh, tidy garden ready for the growing season.
### From Winter Mess to Fresh Start
After a Devon winter, **most gardens look pretty grim** - soggy leaves everywhere, beds full of weeds that grew through the wet months, paths covered in muck.
I'll clear all the winter debris, weed the beds, sweep paths, tidy borders, and take all the waste away. Couple of hours' work and you've got a clean garden ready for spring planting, rather than spending your first sunny weekend shifting leaves.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book garden prep for late March or early April - after the worst weather but before everything starts growing like mad. Perfect timing.

Good to Know
> 🧹 **Add patio cleaning?** Spring's the perfect time to pressure wash your patio too. I can do both in one visit - garden prep and patio cleaning together saves you booking twice. **Regular maintenance:** Once your garden's prepped, keeping on top of it is way easier. Some people book me back monthly through summer for quick tidy-ups. **Exeter's older gardens:** Lots of Devon properties have mature gardens with big shrubs, established borders, and tons of leaves from neighbouring trees. I'm used to dealing with proper garden clear-ups, not just token tidy-ups.
Frequently Asked Questions about Spring garden prep in Dawlish
What does spring garden prep actually include?
I clear all the winter mess - dead leaves, broken branches, general debris. Weed the beds, edge the lawn if needed, sweep paths, tidy borders, and take all the waste away. You're left with a clean slate ready for planting.
Do you do any actual gardening or just clearing?
This is mainly clearing and prep work - I'm a handyman, not a gardener. If you need proper horticultural stuff (pruning, planting schemes, lawn treatment), I can recommend a good local gardener.
How much waste can you remove?
I've got a van, so a decent amount. If your garden's been totally neglected and there's tons of waste, I might need a second trip or we'd need to arrange a skip - I'll let you know after seeing it.
Can you pressure wash the patio at the same time?
Absolutely - spring prep often includes patio cleaning. That's a separate service but I can do both in one visit if you want.
What if the weather's bad?
I can work in light rain, but for proper garden work we ideally want a dry day. We'll arrange a date and reschedule if it's properly miserable.
