Bit of a jungle rescue on this one 🌿😂

Can anyone actually spot the garden arch in the first picture? 😂

This back garden hadn’t really been touched for around two years, and nature had very kindly decided to move in, unpack its bags and take over.

A couple of visits from us and it’s looking like a garden again rather than somewhere David Attenborough might turn up with a camera crew 😂

Loads cut back, loads cleared out, paths opened up and everything given a proper tidy. There’s still plenty of character in the garden, it can just breathe again now!

Quite a transformation and definitely had the Green Fingers touch 💚✂️

Well… that was a LONG day at the office 😂🌿

Started at 8 and didn’t finish until 6, and absolutely nothing seemed to go smoothly. Traffic everywhere, delays all day, but we got there in the end. All the gardens completed and everyone back in one piece. 💪

I’m VERY ready for a weekend off after a busy old week!

A few people have asked when the final lawn cut will be. Basically, we’ll just let the grass tell us 😂 I reckon most people will probably need another two fortnightly cuts and then we’ll be pretty much done. As always though, we’re flexible if you want/need to stop earlier.

And a little winter update 👀❄️

Normally I disappear into hibernation, but this year me and Caol are going to offer some winter tidy-ups for regular customers. Hedges, shrubs, cutting back, clearing beds and general tidying, in minimum two-hour slots.

If you fancy one, just give us a shout 🌿

🌿 A few wins from Green Fingers today…

First up, please welcome Alfie, who joined us today for his first day at just 16 years old… and promptly went and earned Employee of the Day 😂👏

The weather gave him a proper initiation, absolutely pouring down first thing, but it didn’t put him off one bit. He just cracked on, worked really hard, had a brilliant attitude and asked all the right questions.

He was also well chuffed after cutting his first lawn today! Both myself and Caol were really proud of him. So if you see Alfie out with us, make sure you say hello 👋🌱

Secondly… I saved a slug today. 🐌😂 Small wins and all that. He was extremely fortunate not to become part of the strimming schedule.

And finally… GUESS WHAT’S ON THE GOOGLE PLAY STORE?! 👀📱🌿
GardenGo is officially LIVE on the Play Store! 🎉🎉🎉

That’s a massive little milestone for us after all the work that’s gone into it. We’re doing a soft launch first, so please don’t download it just yet as it isn’t quite ready for customers to use properly.

But… we are VERY close. 😁

Busy day...

Not bad for a Wednesday! 🌿💚

Had one of those slightly surreal customer calls today 😂🌱

A lady rang looking for an end-of-season cut on both her front and back lawns plus some weeding.

Before I’d even seen the job, knew the size of the gardens, knew the condition of the grass or had the chance to price it up, she told me on the phone:

“£30 is all I’ll be paying if you want the job.”

I politely explained that unfortunately it doesn’t really work like that. Customers are absolutely entitled to have a budget, but as the business carrying out the work, we still have to assess the job and decide what we would charge for doing it.

She told me that Age UK had advised her not to pay more than a certain amount, which is absolutely fair enough if that’s the guidance she’s been given.

What was slightly amusing was the idea that this then meant independent gardening businesses had to accept that figure too 😂

It would be a bit like walking into Costa, seeing a coffee for £3.80 and saying:

“I’ve been advised not to pay more than £1.50 for a coffee, so that’s all I’ll be paying.”

I’m not entirely sure Costa would accept the new pricing structure.

The conversation became even more bizarre when I was then told that charging more than £30 would mean I was “ripping people off”, and that I had apparently been very rude on the phone.

All while I was being as polite as ever and simply explaining that businesses set their own prices. 😂

Gardening businesses have vans, professional machinery, fuel, insurance, wages, maintenance, tax and plenty of other costs behind the scenes.

Customers are completely entitled to say, “That’s more than I want to spend.”

And businesses are completely entitled to say, “Sorry, we can’t do it for that price.”

No drama required. 🌱

Just another little glimpse into the glamorous world of running a gardening business 😂

Half a day at the hospital today, quick change… then straight back out with Greenfingers Garden Care!

First up was a garden clearance that definitely needed some attention 😅, then finished the afternoon off with another lawn and a few stripes. 🌱👌

Two uniforms. One very full day! 😂

A little Sunday shift at the GardenGo office today, slowly getting everything ready for the app launch! 🌱📱

Opened my drawer and discovered that our little office manager, Halle, had sneakily left me a very subtle purchasing request… complete with an extra-long “pleeeeease” 😂 How cheeky is that?!

And while I was making a few additions, it only seemed right to give Manchester United legend George Best a place on the office wall too! 🔴⚽

A little more GardenGo, a little Man United influence—and slowly but surely, we’re getting there! 💚

🌲✂️ Be honest… have we nailed this one, or are the hedge police on their way? 😂

Conifers are a funny old beast. Go too hard and cut back into the old brown growth and you can end up with ugly dead patches that may never properly recover.

So we played it safe, gave it a tidy shape and kept plenty of healthy green on it. 👌

What do you reckon… good cut or should we have gone harder? 👇😬

Busy day on the tools today but the weather genuinely couldn’t decide what it was doing… sunshine one minute, chucking it down the next 🌦️

We’ve had our jackets on and off more times than the grass box on a mower in wet grass 😂

Still, managed to squeeze in enough time to pop back to the unit and get these little beauties ready for the wall 😍

Green Fingers, GardenGo and Liddy Gardening Services all together.

It’s actually starting to look like a proper office now… almost! 😂🙌
