Plant now for a garden full of colour next spring!
🌷
It might feel like the garden is winding down for winter, but autumn is actually one of the most important times to be thinking about what you want your garden to look like next year.

Spring-flowering bulbs are best planted while the soil is still warm, giving them plenty of time to establish their roots before winter really sets in.
🌷 Early-flowering bulbs such as snowdrops, crocuses, dwarf irises and daffodils can be planted from September into October.
🌿 Mid-season bulbs, including hyacinths, alliums, and camassias, can generally be planted from September through to November.
🌷 Tulips are often best planted a little later, in November or even December. The cooler soil can help reduce the risk of fungal problems such as tulip fire.

But bulbs aren't the only thing to be thinking about this autumn.
This is also a great time to prepare borders, improve soil, plant trees and shrubs, divide established perennials and start planning landscaping projects. Getting these jobs underway now can give plants time to establish and means you can head into spring with a garden that's ready to put on a show.

Whether you need a little help keeping on top of seasonal garden maintenance or you're thinking about a bigger landscaping project, Roots Shoots & Boots can help you make the most of your outdoor space.

A little planning now can make a big difference come spring.

We’ve noticed lots of people recently asking for recommendations for someone to help with their garden, and we completely understand why.
As we head into autumn, gardens can quickly become harder to manage. Lawns grow, borders become overgrown, leaves start to fall, hedges need attention, and those jobs that were once easy to keep on top of can become a little more difficult.
And sometimes, you simply need someone you can trust to look after your garden properly.

That’s where Roots Shoots & Boots comes in.
🌱
We know that for many of our customers, their garden is much more than an outdoor space. It’s somewhere they have spent years creating, somewhere they enjoy sitting with a cup of tea, a place full of memories, and often a home to birds, bees, butterflies and all sorts of other wildlife.
That’s why our approach is different.
🌿
We don’t simply cut back, clear everything away and move on.
We take the time to understand your garden and what you want from it. We look at what is growing, what needs attention and how we can care for your outdoor space while still supporting the wildlife that lives there.
We believe in working with nature, rather than constantly trying to control it.
That might mean knowing when something really does need cutting back, but also knowing when it’s better to leave something in place. It might mean creating a more wildlife-friendly space, encouraging pollinators or simply helping your garden become easier for you to enjoy and maintain.
And importantly, we understand that asking someone into your garden is about more than finding someone who can do the job.
It’s about finding someone who is reliable, respectful and trustworthy.
Someone who will treat your garden — and your home — with care.
💚
And if you would feel more comfortable with a female team, we can also provide a women-only team on request.

We want our customers to feel comfortable, confident and cared for from the very first conversation.
So, if your garden is becoming a little too much to manage, don't feel that you have to tackle it all yourself.
Whether you need regular garden maintenance, help bringing an overgrown garden back under control, or simply someone to take care of the jobs that are becoming harder to manage, our team can help.
Let’s have a chat about what you need.

September has arrived… and suddenly life feels busy again.
The gorgeous summer holidays are over, the evenings are drawing in, the sunshine has disappeared (well, most of it! ☔), and routines are starting to get back to normal.

And while you’ve been busy, your garden has been quietly growing…
Before you know it, borders are overflowing, lawns need attention, plants are running wild, and that once-manageable garden can start to feel overwhelming.

That’s where we can help.

We don’t simply cut everything back and make do.
We work with nature, not against it.
🌿 Helping plants thrive�🐝 Supporting pollinators and wildlife�🌱 Encouraging healthy, sustainable growth�🍃 Understanding what should stay, what needs attention and what can wait�🌻 Creating gardens that work with the natural environment around them

Your garden doesn’t need to be perfect to be beautiful… it needs the right care, at the right time.

So if September has you looking at your garden thinking “where on earth do I start?”… let us take some of the pressure off.

Get in touch with Roots Shoots & Boots to find out how we can help you get your garden back under control, while keeping it thriving for the future.

What if your garden could work better for you?
🌿
More space to enjoy.
Less space that feels awkward or unused.
A garden that actually works for the way you live.

Whether you’re dreaming of a small, welcoming patio or planning a complete garden transformation, Roots Shoots & Boots can help turn your outdoor space into somewhere you’ll genuinely love spending time.

We don’t believe landscaping is one-size-fits-all. Every garden is different, and every person has different ideas, needs and priorities.

That’s why we take the time to plan what works best for both you and your garden …looking at the space as a whole, considering how you want to use it, and creating something that works practically as well as looking beautiful.
🌱
From patios and pathways to planting, lawns and full garden revamps, we put care into every project.

Because we don’t just landscape. We care.

Built for Devon. Designed to last.

With the seasons changing and Devon’s famously unpredictable weather making its return, it’s a great reminder that a garden needs more than just looking good … it needs a strong, durable structure built to withstand the elements.
🌧️🍂🌿

We specialise in hard and structural landscaping, creating outdoor spaces with lasting strength, purpose and style.
From retaining walls and groundworks to patios, pathways, steps, raised areas, drainage and complete garden construction, we focus on the foundations that make a garden work.

A well-designed garden should be able to handle changing weather, uneven ground and the challenges of the Devon landscape, while still creating a beautiful outdoor space you can enjoy throughout the year.

Whether you’re looking to transform a sloping garden, create usable levels, install a long-lasting patio or completely rebuild your outdoor space, durable construction and quality design are at the heart of what we do.

Proudly working across Devon

End of Summer Garden Prep: Why Now Is the Perfect Time to Get Ahead
🍂
As summer slowly comes to an end, your garden may be looking a little tired after months of growth, intense sunshine and regular use. But now is actually one of the best times to start preparing your outdoor space for the upcoming season.

End-of-summer garden maintenance can include cutting back overgrown plants, tidying borders, managing hedges and shrubs, clearing away dead or damaged growth and giving lawns some much-needed attention. (Even the crispy ones!)
🌱
It’s also a great opportunity to identify areas of the garden that may need extra care before autumn and winter arrive.
Preparing now can help keep your garden healthier, tidier and easier to manage as the weather changes.

A little maintenance at the end of summer can go a long way towards protecting your garden through the cooler months and, most importantly, ensuring it is ready to flourish again next spring.

We can help with all aspects of seasonal garden maintenance, helping you keep your outdoor space looking its best throughout the year.

Get ahead of the season and give your garden the care it needs.
