I've been out and about this week and these pictures are from a wooded garden just outside Keighley. The garden edges had been invaded by brambles, so I've given them some strimmer therapy, and the brambles didn't put up much of a fight 😂! Also finding some old pathways around the undergrowth. Still a few visits to get on top of the jungle but also leave some pockets to the wildlife 😎.

Where would we be without fauna and flora 😎.

If you have areas of your garden that need strimming and maintenance or you would like to re-wild parts, plant fruit trees, create edible hedgerows give me a call and I will pop over and we can have a chat 😎.

Have a beautiful weekend 🥰🌻🌻

Thank goodness the cooler wet weather has returned so lawns can get get back to being lawns.

This lawn up on the tops nr Oxenhope has had to have a much needed rest and has just had the tips taken off and mulched back in on a medium/ high setting 6 - 7.5cm or if your old school like me 😂 3inch ish. Moles are loving the softer lawns 🫣. Hopefully over the next 4-6 weeks most lawns will have recovered in time for that late Autumn/ Early Winter dormancy when soil temperatures drop between 2c - 6c and next March we can see the return of that sweet spring grass 😎.

If you require a gardener or you need your patio / paths and furniture cleaning or your fencing staining or painting ect to get it all winter ready give me call on.......

A lovely sunny morning over in Oxenhope gardening 😎. Mulch plug in and feeding the tips back in.

Whilst carrying out a 4hr maintenance at my customers house I will often pop my sprinkler on to give the lawn a drink whilst I'm pottering on with weeding and pruning ect.

Have a beautiful rest of the weekend everyone 😎🌻🌻
