The guys at Solent Garden Services did a fantastic job on a new patio and boundary fence in my garden. Rob has an exceptional eye for detail and he and his team are extremely hard workers. Would recommend.

Rob and his team landscaped my garden, added steps to my decking and put a fence up. They did a very professional job. The lawn looks great, the fencing and steps finish off my decking nicely. After the work was completed, they left the area nice and tidy. And Rob left me good instructions on the after care of my lawn. More...

We've had Solent Garden Services grounds men working as a team of 4 men and individually. All are polite and hardworking on site. Rob organises his men well and keeps the client informed of days and timings for work to be completed. He is helpful and accommodating, even when busy. Special mention for Jamie, who was busy for four hours sorting a copse area and burning off rubbish. He used his initiative to complete work efficiently and kept on task. His gardening knowledge was helpful for deciding on future work to complete. Great team effort! More...

Caring for your grass and lawn is not a complicated job but it does need the experience to understand the exact condition of your grass and what level of care it currently needs.

If you have just had a new lawn laid from rolls or even planted a new lawn from grass seed then making sure it is cared for correctly is crucial in ensuring that it grows and establishes itself into an excellent visual lawn. Obviously we like it when we can provide you the correct grade of turf for your garden and your expected needs from the start but we will just as happily help you with your lawn regardless of whether we created it for you.

We can create your patio from patio stones you supply or we can use our contacts with patio suppliers to source the slabs for you. Remember we provide free surveys for all our work…

hen it comes to erecting your new fence we are able to offer you all styles of fencing to complete the job.

We find the most popular style for garden design is Close Board Fencing (also called Featherboard).

This style of fencing can be created at various heights from 1m at the front of properties to up to 2m at the side or rear of the property. With good quality timber and maintenance these fences can last in the region of 10-15 years.

We can also provide other forms of fencing including Panel Fencing, Trelis Fencing, Picket Fencing and Post and Rail Fencing. We can also help with fence repairs if you have a small section of your current garden fence that needs repairing

We now have a sister company and dedicated fencing website – please visit http://www.gardenfencessouthampton.co.uk/.

We are able to turn any area of land into a freshly turfed lawn area. We will first remove or rotavate the existing grass or area to prepare the ground for your new turf.

Once the pre prep work has been completed we will ensure a smooth and flat surface is achieved and then lay your new turfing – to a grade and quality of turf that will suit your budget and requirements. We can happily advise you on maintaining your new turf in the initial few weeks to ensure good root growth and if required we can take of this initial period of maintenance or even take over complete lawn maintenance for your garden.

Caring for your tree’s is an important thing as it can ensure their health and also your safety. Pruning or felling tree’s can be very dangerous work and if you aren’t a qualified tree surgeon you may be putting your life at risk. Climbing tree’s obviously presents a very real risk and heavy duty chainsaws are extremely dangerous even without the added risk of climbing a tree! Also if a tree is close to your property you really need someone chopping it down that really knows what they are doing unless you want a new tree feature in your kitchen or lounge!

If access is an issue due to the tree’s location a professional tree surgeon will have the knowledge and experience to know what the best way to approach the job is – one of the most common access issues is electricity poles and lines and knowing how to safely operate around these is crucial for your personal safety.

Certain species of tree also require certain specific forms of care such as crown thinning or reduction pollarding and this type of work can not be done without the knowledge and training a professional tree surgeon possesses.

We understand all about hedges and the best way to maintain them for their healthy growth and to achieve a great visual appearance.

We are happy to undertake all forms of topiary work and find this is usually a requirement for commercial maintenance contracts.

We will happily undertake your hedge or bush pruning on a one off or ongoing maintenance basis – please call us now to discuss your requirements and get your free, no obligation quote.

As a business we understand that you may be judged on your external appearance and making the right first impression could really make the difference for your business.

We will work with your needs and budget to care for all aspects of your commercial grounds from simple grass cutting and lawn maintenance to flower bed planting and maintenance.

We offer a very professional and affordable commercial contract that is tailored to your exact needs.

We are also happy to take on any outsourced local authority contracting such as school or other external ground care and maintenance. We can provide fully trained, CRB checked staff and adhere to all relevant health and safety policies.
