Garden Maintenance
in Derby
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly - we keep your garden looking its best, all year round. Based in Derby, covering all of Derbyshire.
What’s Included in Our Garden Maintenance
From a quick mow to a full seasonal overhaul - we bring everything we need and take everything away.
Lawn Mowing & Edging
Most of our Derby customers are on a fortnightly rota - we find it keeps lawns looking sharp without cutting too short in dry spells. We set the height to suit your grass and conditions, edge the borders cleanly, and collect all clippings before we leave. You don’t need to be home; as long as we have gate access, we’ll get it done.
- Cylinder and rotary mowing - we pick the right tool for your lawn
- Clean border edging with string trimmer
- All clippings collected and taken away - no mess left behind
- Weekly or fortnightly visits throughout the growing season
Hedge Cutting & Trimming
Overgrown hedges are one of the most common jobs we get called about across Derby - neighbours, daylight, and privacy all become issues when they’re left too long. We cut to your specification, whether that’s a tight formal box or a softer natural shape, then clear every clipping before we pack up. Leylandii, privet, box, mixed boundaries - we handle them all.
- Box, privet, leylandii and mixed boundary hedges
- Clean straight lines or natural shapes to your preference
- All arisings removed - driveways and paths left spotless
“Thanks to team M&J! Amazing job cleaning out overgrown weeds and brambles and hedge cutting! They worked so hard!”
Weeding & Bed Maintenance
Weeds come back fast - the key is regular visits before they set seed. We hand-weed, hoe, edge the borders, and mulch where needed to slow regrowth. On a maintenance contract, your beds stay tidy between visits rather than recovering from neglect.
- Hand weeding and hoeing
- Border edging and tidying
- Mulching to suppress future growth
Planting & Pruning
We advise on plant selection suited to your soil and aspect - particularly useful in Derbyshire where chalk and clay patches catch people out. We prune at the right time of year for each plant, and deadhead to keep things flowering as long as possible.
- Seasonal bedding and perennials
- Shrub pruning and deadheading
- Rose care and training
Seasonal Tidy-Ups
A spring and autumn visit makes a real difference. In spring, we cut back winter growth and get beds ready before things start shooting. In autumn, we do leaf clearance, cut back dying perennials, and leave everything tidy going into winter. One-off visits welcome - no contract needed.
- Autumn leaf clearance
- Spring preparation cuts
- Overgrown area restoration
Garden Waste Removal
No bonfires, no skips, no leaving piles at the side of the path. Every cutting, every leaf, every branch comes with us when we go. It’s included in all maintenance visits - there’s nothing extra to arrange or pay for.
- Included in all maintenance visits
- No skip hire needed
