Whilst The full works does not carry out regular garden maintenence, here are some things to take into consideration.
The ideal frequency for garden maintenance depends on your garden’s size, layout, and planting style—but here’s a general guide to help you decide:
🌿 General Recommendation for Most Domestic Gardens
- Weekly or fortnightly maintenance is usually ideal during the growing season (March–October).
- Monthly or bi-monthly may be enough in winter (November–February), unless you have evergreen hedges, winter plants, or leaf fall to manage.
🗓️ Breakdown by Task
| Task | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
| Lawn mowing | Weekly (spring–autumn) |
| Weeding | Weekly or fortnightly |
| Hedge trimming | 2–3 times a year (species-dependent) |
| Pruning shrubs & trees | Annually or seasonally |
| Feeding & fertilising | 3–4 times per year |
| Mulching & soil care | 1–2 times per year |
| Patio/drive cleaning | Twice per year |
| General tidy-up (deadheading, sweeping) | Weekly–fortnightly |
🌼 High-Maintenance Gardens
If you have:
- Formal planting schemes
- Topiary or intricate hedging
- A wide variety of perennials or seasonal beds
➡️ You’ll likely need weekly attention, especially in spring and summer.
🌳 Low-Maintenance Gardens
If your garden includes:
- Artificial turf
- Gravel or hardscaping
- Slow-growing or evergreen plants
➡️ You could get away with monthly or seasonal visits.
🧑🌾 Tip:
Using a professional maintenance service ensures tasks are done at the right time of year—for both plant health and appearance.
