Merry Christmas Everyone.

I know I haven't posted much and I have missed a few messages and I want to apologise for that, this has been my first year of working full time, being self employed doing Spuds and being a single parent running a home. It has been a steep learning curve for myself, I know how to do the job but no one ever tells you about the stuff that goes on behind the scenes, time management, pricing, messages, quotes, self care etc etc .

So I apologise if you have fallen through the cracks I never intended for that to happen but I know it has, everyone who has taken a chance on myself turning up and doing quality work for you, I THANK YOU.
Thank you for the opportunity to show you, You don't need big companies to do this kind of work, the small independent peeps can do it just as well.

This year I have worked hard and not taken a penny for myself, every single penny has gone back into Spuds in equipping myself out to tackle more and more kinds of jobs.

So I am treating myself to a few days rest (if you can call the manic of Christmas rest haha) and then I am going to sit down and see how I can improve upon my failings of this year.
I will see everyone in 2025

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🎉🎉🎉

So this is my second visit to this lovely garden in Sevenoaks, my first visit I done a w**d spray which work really well.
This visit it was strimmer work for the grass and then cutter and snips for the shrubs. I really enjoyed this as the difference is undeniable.
Again a plan is in place to help get this garden looking amazing.

I've got to say this was a first for me, hanging your wisteria out to dry but if it works it works i guess 🤣
I nice little first cut, shrubs and wisteria tidied up and grass cut, a plan has been put in place to try and bring the grass back. We also done a good commercial w**d spray so once they have died off we will go back and do the w**ding and grass again.

I won't lie I really enjoyed this job, the client and her family where such nice people and it was a bit of grass work and shrub work, the difference is amazing.

So things have really been picking up lately and I have gotten behind on uploading my work, so I'm playing a little catch up today.
I have recently done a lot of first cuts of the year and I always strim and then rake these out specially on gardens I haven't been to before because you never know what lurks in the grass, I have found all sorts the last few weeks from Lancaster bombers to a tuning fork and skate board truck 🤷

These two gardens are side by side and my client got us in to do them both as he wanted his done and he wanted to help his elderly neighbour out, I love a little bit of community spirit.

A very simple before and after picture.
Our new edging tool is so simple but effective redefining your path ways.

Feel free to speak to us about adding this to your existing service or a quick refresh to your path way.

So a job we've been to before, we will be coming back here as and when to slowly get this garden under control.
Today I used the pole saw to reduce some self setters and then we chipped what we could with my new chipper (I already want a bigger one, so much waste made small lol).
As promised I'm getting better with the camera angles 🤣
