GARDEN MAINTENANCE
It is estimated that there are about 400,000 plant species in the world
(Botanic Gardens Conservation International).
The Plantagenet dynasty, from Henry II (King of England from 1150) to Richard III (died 1485) took their name from the common broom plant Planta Genista. Plants have played an important part in cultures throughout the western world. National, social and sporting symbols are based on a plant species.
As gardening is important to the English psyche, garden maintenance is essential to the English garden.
Garden maintenance: smaller gardens
Amberley Garden Services offer a garden maintenance plan for the smaller gardens (less than an acre) to help homeowners keep their garden in tip-top condition, looking good all year round.
We meet with homeowners to discuss their needs and to review their garden so that we can draw up a seasonal plan of maintenance — hedge clipping, soil improvements, composting, pruning.
We do not undertake the work ourselves but are happy to suggest garden service providers who specialise in this area.
Garden maintenance: business parks
Amberley Garden Services produces garden maintenance plans for contractors where required.
As an independent service, we provide an objective overview of priorities, tasks and timetables, with projected resource allocation.
This frees contractors to focus on the service delivery aspect of the project in order to maintaining their clients’ garden areas in excellent year-round condition.
