Gardener in Eltham
Eltham is largely inter-war semis with wide, regular gardens, side access and a proper area of lawn — straightforward gardens to keep well.
Around Well Hall and out across Eltham the housing is mostly inter-war and post-war semi-detached, laid out on generous regular plots. From a gardening point of view these are some of the easiest gardens to look after well: the lawns are a sensible shape, there is usually side access, and the beds are where you would expect them.
Which means the results come down almost entirely to consistency rather than cleverness. A rectangular lawn cut at the right height every fortnight with a clean edge cut around it looks excellent, and needs nothing else.
Side access makes a difference
Nearly all of these houses have a path down the side, so waste goes straight to the van. Clearance work here is meaningfully quicker and cheaper than the same job on a terraced street where everything comes through the hall.
Hedges
There are a lot of hedges in Eltham, front and back, and a hedge is the feature most likely to have quietly grown a foot a year for a decade. Bringing an overgrown hedge back to a sensible size is a job worth doing once and then maintaining, rather than trimming the new growth off an ever-larger shape.

Questions about this service
Do you cut hedges?
Yes. If a hedge has got well beyond the size you want, we will bring it back over one or two seasons rather than all at once where cutting hard would damage it.
Does side access make it cheaper?
For clearance work, yes — noticeably. Getting waste out is a real part of the time on any big job.
