Before and after: regular garden care in action
See what regular professional maintenance looks like in practice — before and after, across three South West London gardens and three levels of care.
Three levels of regular garden care
Each example below shows results from a South West London property maintained under one of our three care plans.
Simple regular upkeep.
Balanced year-round maintenance.
Premium presentation-led care.
Simple garden refresh
Putney
A small rear garden with a modest lawn, simple border, light shrub planting and a small paved area. The garden had slipped slightly out of order and needed straightforward regular upkeep rather than major work.
Starting point
This simple rear garden needed regular upkeep. The grass was slightly long, the edges had become untidy, light weeds were appearing in the border and the shrubs needed a little attention.
Work carried out
The maintenance visit focused on lawn mowing, edge tidying, light weeding, light shrub tidying and a general visual tidy-up across the garden.
Result
The garden looked clean, neat and presentable again, with a clearer lawn edge, tidier borders and a more cared-for finish without any major work.
Established garden upkeep
Wimbledon
A medium rear garden with an established lawn, hedge, shrubs, ornamental trees and planted borders. The garden had good structure but needed consistent year-round attention to keep it balanced and under control.
Starting point
The garden had good existing structure, but the lawn, hedge, shrubs and borders needed consistent maintenance. Seasonal debris and tired growth were starting to affect the overall presentation.
Work carried out
The visit included lawn mowing and edging, hedge trimming, shrub shaping, flower bed maintenance, seasonal tidying and minor planting support where appropriate.
Result
The garden looked balanced, controlled and properly maintained, with a cleaner structure and a steadier year-round appearance.
Detailed front and rear garden care
Richmond
A more detailed South West London property with front and rear gardens, hedges, layered borders, shrubs, ornamental trees, pots and visible presentation areas. The garden already had strong character, but needed higher-touch maintenance to restore polish and cohesion.
Starting point
The front and rear gardens had strong potential and existing quality, but needed a higher level of detailed maintenance. Hedges required shaping, borders needed refinement, pots and visible areas lacked polish, and planting needed presentation-led care.
Work carried out
The work focused on hedge shaping, detailed border care, plant presentation, lawn edge finishing, pot and container refresh, mulching or soil improvement where appropriate, plant health attention and presentation-led finishing.
Result
The garden looked cohesive, polished and healthier, with a higher standard of finish across both front and rear areas.
