At Hislop & Co, we can help you keep your driveways, decking, garden furniture and any hard standing area clean with our Winter pressure washing services.

Over the Autumn and Winter seasons driveways, patios and decking areas can become very dirty and slippery, normally with algae. Hislop can help you overcome this by carrying out our pressure washing with a cold-water pressure cleaning machine. This removes dirt and mould gathered over time. As a result, your outdoor spaces will be clean and ready for Spring.

Keep your gardens looking clean and tidy over the Winter months with our pressure washing services. Get in touch today or find out more on our website – https://www.hislophorticulture.co.uk/winter-pressure-washing-services/

Hislop & Co’s bare root tree and hedge planting services!

At Hislop & Co, we can help you to transform your gardens or grounds through the Winter months with our bare root tree and hedge planting services. Many deciduous shrubs, trees and hedging plants, along with some evergreens, are available as bare root plants whilst they’re dormant between November and March. Despite the dormancy, the roots will quietly establish and grow away below ground. This means that by Spring, when the soil has warmed up, they are ready to fuel a fabulous display of flowers and foliage.

Do you have some climbers like Wisteria that need pruning this Winter?

The pruning of climbers like Wisteria isn’t as complicated as many fear. At Hislop & Co. we carry out a hard pruning of Wisteria over the Winter months, rewarding you with a show-stopping display of flowers later in Spring. We advise that Wisteria pruning is done twice a year. First a light trim in July or August and then a hard prune in January or February.

Hislop &Co. can help manage and maintain your climbers throughout these months, leaving you to enjoy your gardens. Get in touch today or find out more on our website - https://www.hislophorticulture.co.uk/winter-pruning-of-climbers-wisteria/

Do you require some flowerbed mulching in your gardens? The Winter months are the best time of year to carry out mulching as perennials have died back and many deciduous shrubs are bare. At Hislop Horticulture we are offering flowerbed mulching as part of our Winter services, helping you to keep your gardens looking tidy this Winter.

Mulching is generally used to save water, suppress weeds and improve the soil around plants but it also gives your garden a neat, tidy appearance. The benefit of this is that it can reduce the amount of time spent on tasks such as watering and weeding. Our clients most commonly request materials like wood chip in herbaceous & shrub beds but other materials such as gravel and stone clippings can also be used.

Keep your garden maintained through the Winter for amazing results in the Spring!

With the Autumn and Winter seasons fast approaching, it is time to book in a Winter cut back and tidy up for your garden. Autumn and Winter are the ideal time to cut back shrubs and perennials which have now finished flowering. Many people believe that during this time there is nothing to do in the garden, but actually Autumn and Winter are the most important times of the year to prepare ready for the fast Spring growth.

Hislop and Co. Horticulture provides a full range of Winter services including:

• Fruit tree pruning
• Pressure washing
• Pruning of Climbers like Wisteria
• Flower bed mulching
• Bare root tree and hedge planting
• Servicing of Garden Machinery
• Fallen leaf collection

Contact us today by emailing [email protected] or call 01462 713 333 to enquire about our services. Alternatively, find out more on our website www.hislophorticulture.co.uk/winter-services.
