Residential Garden Maintenance Services offered by CPM
As a full service garden company providing everything needed to keep gardens presentable and productive throughout the year, we cover all residential garden needs in Solihull. Our residential garden services include Lawn maintenance, hedge trimming, seasonal planting and Garden Clearance.
Regular Lawn maintenance and care
To maintain healthy lawns in clay soils requires more than just weekly mowing. While regular mowing from march through October is essential to maintaining grass health, it is ultimately the soil condition beneath the grass which determines how well that grass thrives or thins out.
Our Lawn cutting service includes expert mowing height adjustment to suit the time of year, edge trimming along borders and paths and seasonal treatments such as scarification and core aeration. If your Lawn has reached the point where it cannot be saved, we provide turf installation and new Lawn establishment services including artificial grass installation where extremely low maintenance is required. Prior to restoring your Lawn, we recommend conducting a soil test to determine optimal soil ph levels for better plant selection.
Hedge trimming & pruning
Prices for hedge trimming in Solihull typically fall between £198 to £371 depending on length, height & access of the hedges. Prices for prune jobs fall between £157 to £304. We use a team of experienced gardeners who will attend to all your hedge trimming needs on a seasonal basis to ensure your boundaries remain neat throughout the year.
Deciduous shrubs should be pruned when plants are dormant (November through February) to allow wounds to heal cleanly. For hedgerows containing hawthorn, dog rose, elder, etc. We follow specific pruning methods designed to preserve the natural form of the hedgerow whilst still maintaining density. Please refer to our guide to hedge cutting in Solihull for additional information regarding timing for different species.
Garden Clearance & tidy ups
Garden Clearance is often one of many services provided by local gardeners. The average price paid by homeowners in Solihull for Garden Clearance is £243 per job. The average amount of time required for a standard Garden Clearance is one day.
We remove anything from overgrown gardens including leaf waste, green waste and other forms of organic material. We also provide full restoration projects for Homes preparing for sale. Prior to viewings or major seasonal transitions, we provide garden tidy ups to ensure your home looks its best. This includes removing accumulated debris, cutting back over growth, cleaning borders and restoring beds. Early hand weeding prevents invasive weed growth which otherwise establishes quickly and continuously interferes with ongoing seasonal care of the garden bedding. We provide weed control services to keep your garden beds looking tidy all growing season long.
Seasonal planting & soft landscaping/garden design
While there are two main windows for planting in Solihull (autumn & spring) we create new border plans and manage existing flower beds on an ongoing seasonal basis using native plant species suitable for the West Midlands region such as buddleia, hydrangea & hawthorn. Using native plant species enhances biodiversity and resilience in the gardening area’s clay soils.
Homeowners seeking a complete makeover for their garden can utilise our soft landscaping and garden design services to create customised designs & planting programs for hard & soft landscape elements including patio installations, driveway installations, fence panel installations & fencing. Additionally, mulching helps retain moisture & suppress weed growth in garden beds, therefore we incorporate mulch into every planting scheme created.
How does our garden maintenance service work?
Step 1 – free property assessment:
We arrive at your Solihull residence, walk the entire property with you & evaluate the condition of the soil, current planting, health of grass/grasses & structural features like walls/fences. Once completed you receive written documentation describing what type(s) of garden maintenance your property will need & transparent pricing before any work begins.
Step 2 – ongoing maintenance schedule:
Upon completion of step 1 you are assigned to one of our teams who will perform scheduled visits to your property with all necessary equipment. During peak seasons (spring-summer) we recommend minimum monthly visits; however we recognize larger gardens or those with multiple borders/hedges require more frequent visits – bi-monthly visits would suffice. During autumn leaves must be cleared every 2-3 weeks. In winter months only occasional checks are recommended – pruning, storm damage repair and general yard cleanup; average gardener costs in Solihull = £336 per job for general yard maintenance.
Step 3 – continuing garden care:
Maintaining a healthy yard requiring seasonal yard care allows your yard to stay looking great throughout the year. As needed we change mowing heights, transition from leaf cleanup during autumn to prepare bedding for winter & monitor problems as they develop – water logged spots or disease issues – with you and address them accordingly.
