My client’s garden in Bovey Tracey was lovingly hand-built and designed by the owners, as was the house; the garden just needs a little maintenance to keep it looking its best.
That’s where the Garden Boot Company came into play! Our tasks include grass care, border maintenance, border wall builds, pruning, tree care, and further specialised tasks such as soil improvement using tools like a hollow tiner, which reduces soil compaction and gets seed, drainage, and nutrients into the soil.
We also built a custom three-tier compost bin that readies the compost from food waste and garden waste, allowing for its eventual use on flower beds. This all adds to the sustainable life cycle of a garden, allowing the owners to focus on the more important things in life, like enjoying their garden through the seasons.
Here is a tiny selection of gardening services we get on with weekly to keep it looking it’s best.

Many people don’t realise that healthy soil is fundamental to healthy grass, at the Bovey Tracey property shown here, we use a machine called a hollow tiner, which, as mentioned earlier, which reduces the compaction of the soil by taking small plugs of soil and grass out to provide aeration.
We then add a layer of material on top of the grass. This is done via a ‘landzee’ soil spreader. The material can be mixed like seed and compost or sand and topsoil. It’s evenly and quickly applied and allows for great results.
We always look to composting in the gardens we care for, as it is so good for soil composition, we believe that removing green waste can have a negative impact on gardens, though some weeds are best disposed of!
In this image we show a compost bin setup features a traffic light system for our users and dpc plastic lining to restrict the ingress of ivy & bind weed.
