Gardening and Pruning Services

We absolutely love to garden.  We take great pride in what we do and are always trying to learn new things. 

Bees'n'Beans gardening services include:

Regular Maintenance - Bi-weekly visits to keep your garden looking great throughout the spring, summer and autumn.  We mow lawns, maintain flower beds, put in bedding, bury bulbs, water, maintain shrubs and trees, prune, weed, clean ponds - you name it!  We generally make two-hour visits.

Help to Grow Your Own  - Let us start a vegetable patch for you.  We'll can also help maintain it if you find you need some help or advice. 

Garden Design and Make-Over - A cost-effective, informal design and planting service that won't blow your budget.   We'll also give you a great deal on plants and labour.

One-off Blitzes - If you just have too much to do or need a helping-hand with a special project.   

Some of our general policies about our gardening: We don’t believe in standing around talking or drinking coffee; we do this in our own time after we have finished. If we are rained off we will phone or e-mail and arrange another time, not just leave you guessing. Next, we prefer to work together and charge at a rate which reflects that you get two hours work for every hour we are there.

Please call us for a free estimate or a chat about your gardening needs.


Fruit-Tree Pruning

We studied pruning with Peter Barwick at Blackmoor Nurseries and, after a few years of pruning our (approximately) 50 trees, decided to offer this service professionally.  We love pruning and take care to preserve the tree for many years to come.  It is beneficial to have your fruit trees pruned every year, and the tree rewards you with larger fruit and a reliable crop.  Please contact us for a free estimate.

Time to Prune

The time to prune depends on what kind of tree it is:

February/March - Apple, Pear, Quince

September/October - Plum, Greengage, Cherry, Peach
