Regular garden maintenance through summer to keep things tidy and under control. Weeding, edging, tidying - whatever it needs each visit to stay looking good.
### Stay on Top of Summer Growth
Gardens in Devon **explode** in summer. One week it's tidy, two weeks later you can't see the path.
Regular maintenance keeps things manageable - **much easier than letting it all get away from you** and facing a massive clear-up in September.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book every 2-3 weeks through peak season (June-August). Monthly is fine either side of that. You'll spend less overall than big one-off tidy-ups.

We cover Sidmouth and a 30-mile radius from Exeter, meaning you get local service with the backing of an established business. Whether you're in the centre of Sidmouth or in the surrounding villages, we're here to help.
Good to Know
> 🌱 **Want to learn?** I'm happy to show you what I'm doing and why - better to help you maintain it yourself than keep you dependent on me. **Booking regular visits?** Block book monthly visits and we'll agree frequency. I'll adjust timing based on growth rates and what your garden actually needs. **Holiday coming up?** Schedule a visit for just before you leave and just after you're back. Stops you returning to chaos. **Older Exeter gardens** often have amazing mature plants that just need keeping in check. I'll work with what you've got rather than suggesting ripping things out.
Frequently Asked Questions about Summer garden maintenance in Sidmouth
What does summer garden maintenance actually include?
Whatever your garden needs that visit - usually weeding beds and borders, edging lawns, tidying pots, deadheading flowers, clearing paths. I'm not a gardener so I don't do planting or pruning, but I'll keep things tidy and under control.
How often should I book maintenance visits?
Depends on your garden. Some people want fortnightly through peak growing season (May-August), others monthly. We can be flexible - more often when it's growing fast, less when it calms down.
What do you do with the garden waste?
If you've got a compost heap or green bin I'll use that. If not, I can take it away for a small extra charge. Most people prefer the compost option - free fertiliser for next year.
Can you mow the lawn as part of maintenance?
I can do basic mowing if you've got a working mower, but I'm not set up for lawns as a main service. The maintenance is more about keeping beds tidy, paths clear, and everything looking cared for.
What if I need something extra doing on a visit?
Just let me know - if it's quick I'll just crack on. Bigger jobs (fence panel repair, new raised bed, etc.) I can either do there and then if I've got time, or schedule properly for another visit.
