Enquire About Low Maintenance Renovations
A low-maintenance renovation turns a garden that's become too much work into one that looks good all year with very little upkeep. It suits anyone who no longer wants to mow a lawn every week or keep on top of large borders.
Typically we remove tired or patchy lawn, replace it with gravel or woodchip over reliable weed control, trim back trees and overgrowth to let in light, and replant the borders with shrubs and flowering plants that fill out over time. On a recent job in Ovingham we replaced an old, weedy lawn with a curved area of light grey gravel with neat edging, and kept the rotary washing line in place within it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a low-maintenance garden cost?
Every job is different, so we don't work from a fixed price list. We price each one individually after seeing the garden, and quotes are always free and no-obligation. The cost depends on the size of the garden, how much needs removing, and the materials and planting you choose.
Gravel or woodchip: which is better?
Gravel suits open, bright spaces and paths. Woodchip has a softer, more natural look that works well under trees and in planted areas. We'll suggest what suits your garden.
Will weeds grow through the gravel?
We put weed control in underneath, which keeps weeds down. An occasional tidy deals with the odd seed that lands on top.
Can I still have plants in a low-maintenance garden?
Yes. We can keep or replant borders with shrubs and flowering plants, so the garden stays colourful without the work of a lawn.
