Another big build completed and we are delighted with the results 🙌🏻🪴⛑️

We love it when our work makes a significant difference to our clients lives, and that’s what makes this project so very special 🙏🏻
Installing this elevated Millboard decking has created an open space to enjoy, allowing easier access to the rest of the garden with confidence

The main build was completed before the arrival of Storm Babet last night, we will be returning to complete the finishing touches (painting up the sawn ends) when the weather improves

We’ve laid a variety of decking projects in our combined experiences, from timber to caravans, but this is our favourite - Millboard! 🤗

Millboard is environmentally conscious, non-slip, hard wearing and requires zero maintenance (so no jet washing, sanding and painting required!), and comes with a 20yr guarantee. With our bespoke timber sub-frame, it’s tailored to fit your space and requirements 🛠️🪚🧰

We’ve a little way still to go on this 10m x 4m build, but it’s coming together nicely 🤩

Time for us to put on those waterproofs and get back to it… see you on the other side!

We have a dry weather day today 🥳

It’s a full day ahead booked with lawn cuts, hedge trims and winter-prep work, we’re looking forward to seeing you all! 🍂🌿

But first, we are waiting on a delivery of timber for a big decking project that starts tomorrow 🤩🛠️🪚🔩

There’s lots happening this week, watch out for updates! 📸

We’ve struggled with the weather this week, but this garden didn’t have any grass to cut (yet) so we could get stuck in!

⛑️ 🪚 Emergency Callout 🪚⛑️

Our mowing services are currently postponed due to the weather, but our emergency service was in action today, when the strong winds brought down a rotten climbing arch on top of this lady’s car

We were there within 10 minutes, carefully removing the arch from the car and had it cleared away within 90 mins 🙌🏻⛑️🌿

We now have a new client, booking us for a revisit to build a new arch/trellis and plant it up in the place of the old one - with a Horticultural Hospital installation, you can be assured of a build to last the test of time, and strong wind!

Thank you for calling The Horticultural Hospital

Uh-oh 🙄 It’s a bit wet out there! 🌧️

We love the rain - it’s so good for the garden but not so good for us ☔️🥺

💧 Rain water is the best drink you can give your garden and house plants, full of natural levels of minerals and it has a natural pH. It’s particularly good for ericaceous plants such as Azaleas. So we hope your waterbutts are topping up nicely!

💦 We love the rain but there are 4 main reasons grass cutting shouldn’t be done when it’s wet

1️⃣ It damages the mower as it struggles to cut and the motor overheats

2️⃣ If the mower manages to collect any clippings, they clump together and clog the mower deck which causes overheating when the airflow is restricted

3️⃣ Mowers struggle to cut wet grass evenly. When grass is wet, the blades tend to bend and the mower passes over over it rather than cuts. The blades that don’t bend tend to rip rather than cut, damaging them. Mowing grass when the soil surface is wet/muddy also lends itself to rutting

4️⃣ Taller grass is more difficult to cut when it’s wet. Moisture gets held nearer to the soil surface so longer grass is better cut in stages and allowed to dry between cuts

In conclusion, cutting wet grass is not advisable and you’ll have a happier, healthier lane because of it!

🌿 ADVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🌿

With temperatures soaring towards 30C by the end of this week, it’s important to look after your Garden Waste Bins!

Garden waste naturally produces heat as it starts to compost, and the bins will have a potential to catch fire especially if they are stood in direct sun.

So, check your bins and compost heaps, if they feel warm lift the lid and dowse it down; don’t flip the lid back on until it’s cooled 👍🏻

Another labour of love from The Horticultural Hospital Team ⛑️🌿👍🏻

An 8’x12’ 44mm Double Glazed Log Cabin Summerhouse, completed with pea gravel filled ground-grid and a pressurised timber sub-frame to give a stable and level foundation (also mitigates the risk of 🐀 making a home underneath!) And yes, we even fitted the vinyl flooring 🤗🪚🛠️
