hedge cutting service

Transforming a neglected hedge requires regular care and attention to detail but a hedge cutting service on a frequent basis will produce striking and long lasting results. Most people associate a hedge cutting service with the common privet hedge which usually surrounds properties and over the years has been replaced by concrete posts and wooden fence panels. However many properties wish to retain the traditional character of aesthetically pleasing natural hedges created from conifers, holly bushes, beech hedges, laurel and privet.

Hedge cutting service Bromsgrove

If you wish to have your hedge removed and replaced with concrete or wood then it will look neat and tidy instantly and there are many reputable companies who will offer this service but Bromsgrove gardener would prefer that you contact them. If however you wish to retain your hedge and the natural wildlife which inhabits the hedge then please contact me for a hedge cutting service Bromsgrove.

It may take many years to produce the hedge which you probably currently have and to replace this with a structure which does not grow or need regular trimming may suit many garden owners. Hedges do offer the flexibility for privacy and also produce a natural way of creating a boundary which itself does not feel imposing as it may haven taken years to naturally create the ambience and tranquility which many hedges provide the wild birds. If you are considering trimming your own hedge throughout the year then it is recommended that you check that birds have not nested in the conifers or the hedge when the first trim is made as it becomes the perfect nesting site.

Bromsgrove gardener would welcome the opportunity to trim your hedge to retain its natural beauty for the future or reduce its height if it starts to limit light into properties or gardens.

If you have decided to retrieve your lawn mower out of the shed this weekend to clean and service it ready for the next garden season then consider saving yourself time and money as lawn mower repairs can be expensive….. there is a solution to costly lawn mower repairs….. contacting Bromsgrove gardener will ensure that you no longer  have to hope the lawnmower starts when you next retrieve it from the shed…..the  lawn could be cut for yourself when the grass starts to grow again by Bromsgrove gardener.

Tried to start the Lawn mower and no longer have a use for it ? …….regardless of the condition then please contact myself through the contact button and I will be more than happy to collect the lawnmower.

There are of course certain things that you may wish to try to give yourself a better chance of starting the lawn mower next season and avoid costly lawn mower repairs.

• Completely empty the lawnmower of all petrol ensuring that there is no fuel left in any of the fuel lines or petrol tank.
• Try not to power the lawnmower until the petrol runs out as this may allow sediment which can collect at the bottom of the petrol tank (particularly on older metal designs) to be drawn into the carburettor to block the internal jets.
• Use an aerosol carburettor cleaner to flush out any sediment in the petrol jets to reduce the cost of expensive lawn mower repairs.
• Remove any wet grass or debris which collects on the lawnmower. If the lawn mower is left for a long period of time with the remnants of grass from the previous season it will trap moisture. This will rust any metal surfaces quickly particularly prevalent to the underside of base plates where the grass is not thrown back into the grass box because it is wet and heavy. Instead it will stick to the top of the base plate as the blade rotates. I often spray the area with a moisture inhibitor such as WD40 which helps to reduce moisture and inhibits rust forming.
• If confident to sharpen the lawn mower blade then this will certainly help with cutting the grass next season so that the blades of grass have a clean cut.
• Check any cables for wear particularly where the handles of the lawnmower fold as this causes the plastic outer sheath to fracture and the metal core then becomes exposed to the elements when using the lawn mower. Any lubrication of the inner cable will help with the freedom of movement.
• Electric lawnmowers also need to have the electrical cables checked for wear and more important to check areas where they may rub against handles and frame.
• To ensure the petrol lawnmower can produce a good spark in the engine it is important to either clean and check the spark plug gap or purchase another spark plug.

**** If you are conducting any service repair work on the lawnmower which is petrol or battery operated then it is important to remember to disconnect the battery and/0r disconnect the spark plug lead from the spark plug before starting any work. If it is electric then power off at the mains and do not turn back on until it is safe to continue. ****

Thank you

Trees and branches pruned.

Due to the recent bad weather and high winds across the region many gardens will contain debris from the storms and you may find yourself searching for Gardeners in Bromsgrove to remove. If you live in  Bromsgrove then please consider contacting Bromsgrove Gardener.

Preventative tree care is always better if you are considering whether or not that tree in your garden could cause any damage to your property. Very often conifers are planted in gardens for privacy and to create effective borders and little thought is given to the speed with which they can grow over the years. Their appealing nature is that these trees do grow very quickly but if they are left to continue to grow after they have gone past the height of standard step ladders then control is often a problem. If trees need to be removed from gardens in Bromsgrove then searching for gardeners Bromsgrove will ensure that you will be in safe hands.

Cutting trees and pruning branches – help available from Gardeners Bromsgrove.

Trees and branches can be cut and removed from the property if they have no use for wood burners. There are many wood types to choose from which all have different burning properties when used on a wood burner. Ash trees are considered by many to be one of the best woods for burning as it can produce a steady flame and provides a good heat output. Ash trees can also be burnt when they are green unlike Beech trees which are also very good for heat output but do not burn well when green.

The best time to prune trees and garden shrubs is when they are in their dormant stage which is usually later winter or early spring there are exceptions such as plants that flower in the spring from buds made the previous season. Any winter pruning of these shrubs would destroy the current year’s bloom. If pruning is required to remove weak or dead limbs on trees then this can be completed at any time of the year with very little effect on the tree remaining.

Rhubarb is considered to be one of the most trouble free and value for money crops and Bromsgrove gardener is able to offer rhubarb plants to compliment garden services Redditch. It is extremely popular with many gardeners including myself as it attracts very few pests and gets bigger and better every year.

Rhubarb is a native of Russia and is often found growing wild on the banks of the river Volga, so it is well suited to our cold and rainy climate. The frost also helps to improve the flavours of the stalks which on new crops are best left for around 2 years before harvesting. The best crops are yielded from older well established crowns. Also consider using garden services Redditch to supply rhubarb plants when growing rhubarb as  the crown will benefit from being left in its original position in the garden(which those grown by Bromsgrove gardener have been raised in pots and not disturbed ) and would be best to leave enough space between plants due to the size of the leaves.

There are a selection of early -, mid- and late- cropping cultivars where their appearance differs and this reflects in the taste of the stems when cooked.
Many would associate the red in rhubarb with sweetness but this is not a true indication of flavour. Those stems which are pinky-green varieties often taste sweeter because they grow faster than the red types, which means there is less time for the sugars to break down.

Two years ago I started planting the Timperley Early variety in pots and found that they seemed to suit the soil conditions in my Bromsgrove garden. This variety is often used for forcing when it develops a better colour. For a mid/late crop I have started to grow Queen Victoria for garden services Redditch recently as their greenish-pink stalks yield large crops throughout August.

Due to the length of time it takes to grow a rhubarb plant from seed many home gardeners prefer to purchase established rhubarb crowns from garden centres so that they can start to use the stalks as soon as possible. Bromsgrove gardener has grown the Timperley Early and Queen Victoria varieties from seed.
