The Garden Boot Company

Not all garden work is about cutting back and tidying up. Sometimes it's about giving something back. 🌿

Over in Bovey Tracey, we've been doing exactly that. Compost heaps built, hedge material chipped and used as mulch across the beds, wildlife-friendly planting put in, and a little corner of the garden given over entirely to bees and insects.

It's the kind of work that quietly makes a big difference, to the soil, to the wildlife, and to how the garden performs through the summer months and beyond.

We've written it up as a full project on the website if you'd like to take a look.

Seasonal garden care in South Devon: wildlife-friendly planting, compost heaps, hedge chippings used as mulch, and a bee and insect habitat created to give the garden a boost for summer.

Do you recognise this creature? 🐛

The Box Moth caterpillar is causing havoc in gardens across the country this year, and we're seeing it more and more across South Devon.

Left untreated, it can completely devastate box hedging in a very short space of time, so it's well worth keeping a close eye on your plants as we head into the summer months.

Our team holds the relevant treatment licences and has the knowledge to step in before any serious damage is done. If you've spotted signs of an infestation or just want some advice, please do get in touch.

Summer prep is well underway across our South Devon gardens! 🌿

From wildlife-friendly planting and compost heaps to chipped hedge material being put to good use as mulch, and bee and insect habitats tucked into quiet corners of the garden, we've been giving our clients' spaces the care and attention they deserve ahead of the warmer months.

And over on South Dartmoor, we've just installed a beautiful set of granite steps for one of our clients, making it that much easier to get outside and enjoy the garden all summer long. 🌞

If your garden needs a helping hand this season, we'd love to hear from you.

A year on from our Dawlish garden transformation project and just look at it now!

What started as a blank canvas has truly come into its own. The flowers are in full bloom, the pond is buzzing with life, and there's a lovely bench just waiting to be sat on with a cuppa.

It's always a joy to revisit a garden and see a space our clients can truly enjoy.

Earlier this week we were over in Ashburton getting veg beds rotavated and prepped ready for potatoes and seedlings coming out of the greenhouse, while also tackling the peony bed ahead of the season.

All of our equipment is owned outright, including our rotavator. No hired-in machinery, no waiting around, just the right tools ready to go when your garden needs them.

If you're in Ashburton or the surrounding villages and your garden could do with some attention this spring, we'd love to help. Whether it's a one-off tidy, veg bed prep, or regular maintenance, get in touch for a free quote.
