Our first breakfast network meeting with Shropshire Chamber of Commerce went very well. It was great to converse with like minded and eager people. I look forward to future meet ups.

🍂 SEPTEMBER GARDEN JOBS 🍂

September has arrived, and although summer is beginning to wind down, there’s still plenty to be getting on with in the garden! 🌿

In fact, September is one of our favourite months horticulturally. The soil is still warm, there’s usually a little more moisture around, and it’s a great opportunity to start preparing your garden for autumn, winter and even next spring.

🌱 Jobs worth tackling this month include:

Planting spring-flowering bulbs

Dividing and replanting established perennials

Cutting back tired summer growth

Collecting fallen leaves for compost

Aerating and repairing lawns

Tidying and maintaining hedges

Preparing borders for autumn planting

Keeping newly planted shrubs and containers watered

September is also an excellent time to take stock of your garden. If there are areas that haven't quite worked this year, now is the perfect opportunity to start planning improvements while everything is still fresh in your mind.

At Priestgate Landscapes & Horticulture, we can help with everything from seasonal garden maintenance and hedge work through to planting schemes, border renovations and complete landscaping projects.

🍁 Healthy gardens start in September — a little work now can make a huge difference next spring.

📩 Get in touch if you'd like some help getting your garden autumn-ready.

🍃 GETTING READY FOR SEPTEMBER — HEDGE CUTTING SEASON! ✂️

A quieter Sunday for the team, but the equipment doesn't look after itself!

We're busy servicing, sharpening and preparing our hedge-cutting equipment ready for September and another busy period of hedge maintenance.

Keeping our machinery properly maintained isn't just about reliability — sharp, well-maintained cutters produce a much cleaner cut, helping us leave hedges looking crisp, tidy and professionally finished.

September is a great time to get many established hedges back into shape after their summer growth, and our diary is already starting to fill.

🌿 Regular grounds maintenance
🌿 Large and overgrown hedges
🌿 Commercial & domestic properties
🌿 Professional horticultural care

Good preparation = better results for our customers.

☀️ Is Your Lawn Looking Scorched? Don't Panic...

After weeks of blistering temperatures and little rainfall, many lawns across Shropshire are showing signs of heat stress. Brown patches, straw-coloured grass and a dry, crunchy appearance can look alarming—but in most cases, your lawn isn't dead, it's simply dormant.

🌱 Here's what you should do: • Avoid mowing too short—leave the grass a little longer to protect the soil. • If watering, do it deeply in the early morning rather than little and often. • Stay off stressed areas where possible to prevent further damage. • Hold off on fertilising until temperatures return to normal.

The good news? Once cooler weather and steady rainfall return, healthy lawns usually bounce back surprisingly well.

At Priestgate Landscapes & Horticulture Ltd, we'll be assessing lawns over the coming weeks and advising customers on the best recovery plans, including autumn feeding, overseeding and renovation where needed.

Don't write your lawn off just yet—nature is remarkably resilient. 🌿
