Lawn Care and Grass Cutting
A rich green and healthy lawn sets off a home beautifully. Grass like other plants needs care and maintenance to thrive. Lawn care and maintenance lets the grass access to the essential elements: air, sunlight, nutrients and water. For example, keeping your grass clear of weeds, dead growth and moss plays an important part in allowing sufficient air and sunlight to your grass.
Weed Control and Treatments
Clonakilty garden services helps you eliminate weeds in your lawn and prevent their return by maintaining healthy grass. Thorough weeding is needed in order to eradicate all suckers from your garden.
Hedge cutting and Planting
Hedge plants form an attractive boundary, providing a good structure to the garden. Planting and caring for a new hedge is very similar to that for any new tree or shrub. Good soil preparation beforehand will give your hedge the best start in life. Established hedges require trimming to keep them dense and compact. Formal hedges require more frequent trimming than informal hedges.

New hedges require formative pruning, establishing the shape and form, for their first couple of years after planting. Formative pruning is usually carried out in winter or spring.
After this, maintenance trimming is carried out, usually once a year for informal hedges and twice a year for formal hedges. Some formal hedges may need three cuts a year. Maintenance trimming is generally carried out between spring and summer.
Shrub planting, pruning and weeding
Shrubs vary substantially in shape, size and habit and come from a wide range of habitats and climatic conditions.
With an enormous range of shrubs, both deciduous, evergreen and semi-evergreen it is possible to find ones to suit a wide range of sites. Selecting the right shrub for the right place and soil conditions and buying a good quality plant is important if the shrub is to thrive.

Routine shrub maintenance requires feeding, mulching, watering, dead-heading, suckers and reverted shoot removal. Also, container or pot bound shrubs need regular feeding, watering and every few years, repotting.

Shrubs need routine pruning as well as trees in order to keep them healthy, productive and attractive.
General Maintenance and Tidying up
Every gardening job results in a pile of green waste from all the weeds, tree, pruning, hedge and shrub trimmings. After the garden clear is done, you will have a tidy garden, that you can enjoy in peace.
