The second of 2 visits a year this garden has just to keep things in check. One thing nice about this garden is the stunning views. Another Saturday morning's work completed. Already a diary full of work into October now. Winter garden tidies are available from late November through to February.

Get in touch now for advice and quotes.

Not worked Saturdays for a few weeks but back out again for a busy next few weeks. This mornings job to tidy up a small back garden for an old school friend in Wing. Quote accepted a couple of weeks ago and got on with it today. He said about the front to do another time as they needed to budget. Got the back done in good time and to help out thrown in the front too. Not a bad job for a weekend. Next weekend back in Slapton 😀 for a twice yearly garden tidy up.

Not always about going out earning money and paying bills etc. Started working for a lovely elderly couple a 2 years ago. In their 80s, married for over 50yrs never been apart until this year. The husband had a very bad stroke and now possibly in full time care, his wife has been through the wars too recently and had a spell in hospital.

One thing that brings them joy as they are both pretty much house bound is the garden a tranquil haven full of plants, She always says this to me Last weeks visit she spoke to her son who was with her husband in the care home and her husband instructed her to write the card out.

She made this card herself in her crafting room. We have a laugh always, as I said to her is this my marching orders 🤣 back next week for more of the same.

Now I don't normally deal with ponds (more my phobia of frogs than anything) anyway this pond in a customers garden is about 10yrs old, floods in the winter then evaporates in the summer and with the hose pipe ban I offered to give it a clear out.

Waders ordered and in I went a first for everything.

Lily's cut back and alot of the pond iris pulled out as it was spreading to far. All waste piled onto the side to allow wildlife to crawl back in over the next few days. Not a bad job at the end of the day.

Put myself forward for a job. Guy on a social media site kept asking for someone to install 3 panels onto existing panels. No posts to dig. Been let down by a number of companies. So I offered to take a look 👀 can't be to difficult surely 🤔 viewed last Thursday, Job done Tuesday, customer paid today 😃. 1 panel had to be cut down but didn't take to long. Not a bad job to be fair.

Just over 2 weeks ago I received a call from a lady looking for help desperately for her 102yr old mum who still lives in her own property and can still get around with her stroller and (make coffee 😀) after their previous gardener of years just vanished at the end of last year.

Took a look and though wasn't sure on availability got there and my heart over ruled my head and glad it did. 2nd visit in and already really please that it's getting back in shape so quickly.

Added extra service I lock up. From bolting gate and going back through the house locking back door and making sure the lovely lady is locking front door behind me.

Sometimes I like a challenge where results will be pleasing for everyone.

Finally a Saturday free from work to err do some work for my mum. Back garden pressure washed. She had started the pots and I finished them off. Finally after several years of no bridge over the pond a new one built and installed. Just the pond to sort plus some guttering to do on my next Saturday free, which could be August lol. Garden looking so much better thanks to Fresh Cuts Garden Services

Blue sky even quite mild, surely this can't be the start of Spring 🤔 bulbs are up and flowering so just maybe 👀😎😀...

And now into the last 3 working weeks for 2025. That went quick 😳 but all in a not a to bad year for both work and weather. Spring followed by a long dry and at times hot summer came until August when the weather broke and the rain returned. My Personal life took a turn in September when my time was split daily caring for my dad with hospital trips on a daily basis.

For now he is okay but still needs my help, dividing work and care is not easy and I can appreciate and applaud carers who do this is a living or family members who do this because it's their duty to.

As we head into winter, I will still be out working and heading into 2026 can now finally see a path to be able to cover more work and provide long term care. Spaces will be filled before the spring and now is the time to get booked in for a pre Spring tidy and secure a slot for the new year.

Covering Leighton/Linslade and a 3 mile radius of villages around get in touch now for more information or even advice.

Merry Christmas from me to you.
