As November is here, so it’s the perfect time to refresh your garden and protect it for the months ahead.Our Seasonal Garden Reset and Winter Close-Down service ensures everything is tidy, healthy, and ready to flourish in spring.
If you’ve missed a few autumn jobs - no problem. We’ll catch up and get your garden back in shape.
November Priorities
Now’s the time for:
Leaf clearance and final lawn cut (weather permitting)
Moss control and hard-surface weeding
Bed tidy: remove dead growth and debris
Pressure washing of patios and paths
Frost protection for pots and outside taps
Irrigation shut-off for the winter
A full reset now means less work later, and a garden that still looks cared for through winter.

Winter Works (Nov–Mar)
The dormant season is the best time for planting and restructuring:
Transplanting deciduous shrubs and young trees
Bare-root planting for hedges, roses, and fruit trees
Dividing perennials to rejuvenate growth
Re-shaping borders and improving soil with organic mulch
Bare-root plants offer excellent value and establish strongly over winter.
Ongoing Care (Dec–Feb)
Even during the coldest months, key maintenance tasks make a difference:
Dormant pruning: fruit trees, roses, and wisteria
Reshaping shrubs for structure and airflow
Algae and moss control on patios and paths
Fence and gate repairs
Mulch top-ups and compost turning
