Hi,
Thanks for checking out my profile.
I’m an eco-friendly gardener in the Solihull area.
I specialise in medium to large residential gardens both decorative and horticultural.
I like to work on soil improvement in preference to using pesticides and fertilisers to control your garden.

Mr R Edwards
Gardening
Early days but he appears to be an excellent gardener
What do you love most about your job?
I love doing the dirty work at the heart of garden transformations: dirt to delightful.
Feeding your soil and allowing that to feed the plants in your lush, lovely garden.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I see a space in the market for those who want a premium garden care service.
Clients who want a well trained, hardworking and dedicated ‘hand-&-knees’ gardener to curate their outdoor spaces and help nature usher in the beauty and drama of each season.
Importantly, I aim to do all this sustainably.
That means hand tools, hard graft and battery electric power tool (where appropriate) charged by the sun.
I couple this with a comprehensive approach to handle the biomass from your garden that others would treat as green waste.
I manage this valuable resource for you and return all that energy to the soil.
Why should our clients choose you?
I work at the intersection between horticulture, conservation and energy production.
My aim is to get your garden into the best shape it’s ever been in.
I do this whilst turning the resultant grass clippings and green waste into fabulous, nutrient dense, pollution reducing compost.
Together we will change the world for the better... at least a little bit.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I manage my services online for clients which not only allows you to book in tasks but also provides you with regular reports on the progress of: works,
projects,
and even individual plants.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I am fully vacinated and wear a face covering when client facing.
I work with my own tools and treat your space with due respect & courtesy.
I am happy to discuss any specific requirements or particular measures that a client might deem necessary.
Boisterous dog walking
I walk and sometimes run with energetic dogs. Mostly this is a one to one but never more than 2 at once. If your hairy friend is a handful, I’m the guy to help you out😁
Composter and green waste management
I take grass clippings and green waste from gardens, add food scraps from restuarants and by the magic of vermiculture, we end up with the most spectacularly rich compost, worm castings and incredible worm tea for your garden
Maintainance gardener
I’m a proper ‘hands, Knees & elbow grease’ gardener specialising in curation of medium to large domestic gardens.
If you have outdoor spaces filled with diverse planting and love for those spaces to look ‘just so!’ Then I’d love to talk to you about how i can help you get the best from your gardens.
Regular tasks might include (but not limited to):
Push mowing
Strimming
Lawn edging
Scarification
Feeds & treatment
Leaf clearing
Pavement clearing
Moss removal
Weeding
Weed prevention
Pruning
Lawn care
Push mowing
Strimming
Verticle edging
Blowing & leaf clearing
Insitu or offsite green waste composting
I use battery electric: mowers blowers and strimmers which you will find to be noticeably quieter and less obtrusive or smelly than traditional petrol powered garden tools.
Additionally I charge up using sunlight which is better for the world.
As for the hand tools- i get the energy for them by eating lots of weetabix 😃
