Autumn Is the Ideal Time to Take Stock, Assess, Plan, Plant and Develop Your Garden

Yes, the Expert Autumn Garden Assessment is complimentary. We visit your garden, look at what summer has revealed and discuss your goals. This gives both of us the information needed to decide whether regular professional care is the right fit. We want to ensure we are genuinely the right match for your garden before either of us commits to anything further.

Capacity and timing are discussed as part of the assessment. Green Heart takes on a limited number of new regular-care gardens at a time. We manage our schedule carefully to ensure every client receives consistent, high-quality attention. We will be honest about availability and will not overcommit.

Maintenance Contracts start from £300 per month, including VAT. The right level of care depends on the size, complexity and priorities of your garden.

During the assessment, we will discuss what you want from your garden, what it currently needs and the ways Green Heart may be able to help. We will explain which service option or options we feel are most appropriate and why. Afterwards, we will prepare clear written quotations by email for the option or options we have discussed, so you can consider them without pressure.

Your care programme is tailored to your garden's specific needs. It may include thorough garden assessment, plant-health decisions, specialist pruning, border management, suitable seasonal planting, soil care, mulching and longer-term garden development and structure. We are not applying a standard checklist; we make professional decisions about what your particular garden requires. Your garden develops and improves with each visit.

Regular-care programmes follow the garden's needs across the year, rather than a generic task list or a fixed block of time. We will discuss what makes sense for your garden's size, complexity and goals during the assessment. Most clients benefit from monthly visits, but the right frequency depends entirely on your garden.

Absolutely. No plant is removed without your agreement. Autumn can be a particularly useful time to assess which plants should be retained, moved, divided or supported. We work with what is there, identifying plants with character and potential, enhancing what is working well and professionally managing what is holding your garden back.

Green Heart works well with already-good gardens. We act as a team that protects and develops an existing investment rather than simply replacing a provider. You get expert monthly attention that keeps your garden at its best while making thoughtful improvements over time, without the stress of directing the process yourself.

Yes. Gardens need different attention in every season. Autumn and winter are valuable for reviewing what summer has revealed, refreshing suitable planting, improving soil, adding structure and preparing the garden for the year ahead. Expert attention in autumn and winter is often what makes the biggest difference come spring.

Autumn often gives us a valuable opportunity to review a garden after summer, refresh suitable planting, improve soil and prepare for the year ahead. The right timing depends on the plant, the soil, weather conditions and the individual garden, which is why professional judgement matters.

That is absolutely fine. You can join our Seasonal Garden Notes for practical guidance and get in touch when the timing feels right. There is no pressure to make a decision before you are ready.

We work with homeowners in Crewe, Nantwich and the surrounding Cheshire villages. If you are unsure whether your garden is within our service area, please send an enquiry and we will confirm whether an Expert Autumn Garden Assessment is the right next step.
