  • Pruning & Trimming: Cut back dead or overgrown perennials, trim winter-damaged shrubs, and shape hedges before birds start nesting.
  • Deadheading Bulbs: Remove spent heads from daffodils and tulips, leaving the green foliage to die back naturally so the bulb stores energy for next year.

Paving and Hardscaping

  • Clean and seal surfaces: Clear away fallen leaves, dead plants, and organic debris to stop algae and moss growth, and apply a patio sealer or specialty cleaner for black spots.

Drainage

  • Improve lawn drainage: Aerate compacted lawn areas or clear low spots where water pools during heavy winter rain.

Plant Care and Clearances

  • Full garden clearances: Cut back overgrown hedges, prune deciduous trees and fruit bushes, and clear old vegetable crops down to the ground.
  • Rake and compost leaves: Gather fallen leaves off turf to prevent fungal turf diseases, and pile them into bags or bins to create leaf mould.
  • Protect sensitive plants: Wrap frost-sensitive plants, move tender containers closer to walls, and install or check greenhouse insulation.

Tidying Up

  • Removal of garden waste / trees / shrubs / leaves

Jet Washing is a good service to offer because whilst they are not expensive most people recognise they would only use it once or twice a year and therefore it will become one more item in their garage / shed which they rarely use.
