Meadow grass cutting
Some days are a gentle tidy-up. Yesterday was not one of those days.
I pulled up to a property that had well and truly been left to its own devices. It’s a sight I know well – nature doesn’t hang about, and when it gets a foothold, it really goes for it. The house was being swamped, the driveway was disappearing, and the garden had turned into a full-blown jungle. My job for the day? To reclaim it. All of it.
The first big challenge was the lawn, which was no longer a lawn but a dense, overgrown meadow. It took hours of hard work with the heavy-duty strimmer to battle through the thick, waist-high grass and tangled weeds. This wasn't just a simple Grass Cutting job; it was a proper wrestling match to bring a meadow back under control. But as the layers peeled back, you could start to see the shape of the garden again.
With the main area cleared, the next job was to free the house itself. Overgrown trees and massive hedges were pressing in, blocking light from the windows and making the whole place feel dark and closed-in. A serious session of Hedge Trimming and careful pruning was needed to push back the greenery, letting the house breathe and instantly making it feel more like a home and less like a ruin. This is what my Garden Clearance service is all about – a total reset.
Finally, I turned my attention to the entrance. The driveway and the roadside verge were choked with weeds and encroaching branches, giving the property an abandoned look from the street. Clearing this area is always the final touch that makes the biggest difference. A welcoming, tidy entrance changes the entire feel of a home. A well-maintained Driveway sets the scene for the whole property.
By the end of the day, the place was transformed. From a wild jungle to a clean, open, and manageable space. It was a long, hard day's work, but seeing that much progress is what makes this job so rewarding. It's a reminder that no garden is ever truly lost.
One or two cuts between the end of August and late November removes surplus growth and helps to keep grasses at bay, letting the wildflowers thrive.
