Bespoke compost bins construction
We design and construct custom compost bins tailored to your garden’s needs, helping you recycle all your garden waste and food scraps in an eco-friendly way. Our bespoke compost systems are built on-site using durable materials, sized to suit your space and the amount of waste you generate. Whether you need a simple single-bin setup or a multi-bay system for turning and maturing compost, we create practical solutions that fit seamlessly into your garden.
Composting is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to manage garden and kitchen waste, reducing landfill contributions while creating nutrient-rich soil improver for your borders and beds. Our compost bins are designed for easy access and efficient decomposition, making it simple to recycle grass clippings, hedge trimmings, vegetable peelings, and other organic matter. We can advise on the best location and setup for your composting needs, and if you already have compost heaps or bins that need attention, we regularly include compost turning and management as part of our garden maintenance service.

Our Frequently Asked Questions
The best time for hedge trimming depends on the type of hedge you have. Most hedges benefit from trimming between late spring and early summer, with a second trim in late summer if needed to keep them tidy. However, formal hedges may need more frequent attention during the growing season. Conifer hedges like leylandii are best trimmed between April and August, while deciduous hedges can be cut from late autumn through to early spring when birds aren’t nesting. We’re careful to check for nesting birds before any hedge work and will advise on the optimal timing for your specific hedges.
We work on a wide range of garden trees including ornamental trees, fruit trees, and general garden specimens. Our fruit tree pruning covers apples, pears, plums, cherries, and other common orchard trees, using proper techniques to encourage healthy growth and better fruiting. For ornamental and garden trees, we provide formative pruning for young trees, maintenance pruning for established trees, and remedial work where trees have been neglected or damaged. We focus on tree care and maintenance rather than large-scale tree surgery, making us ideal for typical garden tree work and fruit tree management.
Absolutely. We regularly take on overgrown hedges that need significant reduction and restoration. Our platform ladders and long-reach equipment allow us to safely tackle tall, overgrown hedges that have gotten out of hand. Depending on the hedge type, we can either reduce it drastically in one go or work over a couple of seasons to bring it back to a manageable size without stressing the plants too much. Once we’ve restored an overgrown hedge to the right height and shape, we can include it in a regular maintenance program to prevent it becoming overgrown again.
All hedge clippings, prunings, and branches are processed through our professional wood chipper which we bring to every job. The chippings can either be removed from site as green waste, left as mulch for your borders if you’d like, or in the case of larger branches from tree work, we can process them into logs for your fireplace or log burner. We size and store the wood to your requirements, so if you have a wood burner you’re not wasting useful fuel. Everything is cleared away leaving your garden tidy.
