Low Maintenance Gardens in Broadheath: Tidy Large Plots

We design and build low maintenance gardens for homes in Broadheath, Lower Broadheath, Hallow, Martley and Rushwick, combining hard surfaces, sensible planting and edging that keeps everything in its place.

Where the work goes, and how to cut it

In most large gardens, the time goes on mowing, weeding and trimming. Shrinking the mown area, adding hard standing where the foot traffic falls and filling borders with dense planting under mulch all reduce it.

The aim is not to pave over a country garden, which would lose what makes it appealing. It is to keep the openness and add structure so that it looks cared for without constant attention. Fewer, better-placed features usually beat lots of small ones.

• A smaller, well-edged lawn
• Patio or paved seating close to the house
• Ground cover and mulch in borders
• Gravel or paved paths in place of worn grass

A garden you can change in phases

Working through the plot in sections keeps it manageable. A sensible first step might be the area nearest the house, then the borders, then the far end, so the garden improves visibly at each stage.

It also suits people who want a garden that is easier to look after as the years go on. A free site visit lets us talk through how you use the space and where the effort goes today, and which jobs you would happily hand over for good. From there we can suggest changes that make the biggest difference to your weekends.
