Well planted and tidy garden beds add interest and street appeal to any home
Here are some features to consider:
1. Choose a theme: formal vs. casual
2. Draw a plan.
3. Remove any existing grass or plants.
4. Prepare the soil. If the plants don't have a healthy environment, it doesn't matter what
you do - they won't grow!
5. Research your plants. Your choice will depend on your climate and size. For a low
maintenance but high-impact look, stick to one variety.
6. Don't forget to weed and water your garden bed!
Tip don't throw out anything you could re-use! This will save you money and time.
Give me a ring so I can help you create or tidy up your garden beds.

Late winter’s an important time for solving lawn problems. If you contact me I can help fix and feed now, the lawn will be in good shape for the coming summer.
Removing weeds
During winter, weeds take advantage of the lawn’s weakened sta
te to fill every possible gap. Bindii and broad-leafed weeds can be relatively easily controlled with the help of herbicides. It removes invaders without causing damage to the lawn. Typical examples of broad-leafed weeds are bindii, clover, dandelions, capeweed, cudweed and thistles.
FertilisingLate August is the perfect time to feed the lawn and this task is much easier than it used to be and the formulation means that it continues to release nutrients for three months.
