Apples, pears, plums, cherries, gooseberries, raspberries the list of fruit you can grow even in a small space is remarkable, a lot of fruit trees you will see in the UK are large and rangy, with a lot of the fruit to high to pick, meaning all you get are the windfalls. At TLC we specialize in taking these trees and bring them to manageable proportions giving you masses of fruit. As well as this we can train fruit trees against walls.Certain jobs need doing at different times during the year to maximize the harvest, we welcome the chance to give you a free quote on maintaining your fruit trees and bushes through out the year.
We also offer a one off set up service for those that wish to grow their own fruit and vegetables, we can come in, set you up and advise on what to do and when.We provide the labour, seeds, plants etc. We have also cleared and dug over allotments for those that have taken over overgrown allotments and needed a helping hand at the start.

Pruning & Planting Services
Most trees will benefit from pruning, at TLC as well as our Fruit Tree and Bush Service we are able to prune any tree or shrub you wish, we will visit the garden and discuss with you what you are aiming to achieve, possibly a tree is shading a garden through growing to high, or a shrub bed is raging out of control, maybe the roses need some TLC? As always with TLC the initial consultation and quote is free.Nothing gives us more satisfaction than planting. Discussing with you what you want to achieve in your garden from delicate Japanese Maples and long lived Oaks to Gooseberry Bushes and Beech Hedges. Then a site survey (Included when we send your Free Quote) taking into account soil type, drainage, buildings etc. Finally followed by the big day when a tree or plant sourced by TLC (We also offer a planting only service) arrives and is planted to enhance your garden for years to come, or put fresh home grown fruit or vegetables on your table. I'm sure you have heard people saying "Home grown tastes the best" well they are right. And watching a plants and trees grow is one of the delights of your garden.
Maintenance Services
Whatever size your corner of England is, the one certainty is that it will continue to grow.
Here at TLC we can help you to keep on top of garden maintenance on an ad hoc basis. Following your enquiry we will visit you at your garden for a discussion on what you would like to be done and how often it needs doing. This could be every week or twice a year and it doesn’t need to be planned, just call us up when the hedge next needs cutting or the lavender needs pruning and we will call in to assess the job.
Alternatively we can visit your garden on a monthly basis to keep an eye on that growth and give advice on any work that needs doing. Some of our customers like to agree a list of work to be carried out in advance, we then quote for each job and agree a timetable to carry out the work geared around the needs of your garden and your budget. We can also give advice on the smaller jobs that you may want to tackle yourself.
If none of those arrangements suit simply use us by the hour and just give us a call when you want us to come over. This service has a minimum 1 hour charge and we then charge by the half hour.
A good looking, well maintained garden can be a reality with TLC and not a dream; giving you more time to enjoy it.
Garden Repair Services
Is your garden feeling a bit tired and in need of some TLC ?
We get the oddest looks sometimes when we tell people we repair gardens, often these are the small jobs which you keep meaning to get around to. Loose patio slabs, fences in need of a coat of paint, tumbled down garden wall, a tired worn out hedge with more holes than a Swiss cheese or fruit bushes that are no longer cropping well. Whatever the nature of the repair, plant or structural, we are happy to give you a free quote for the work. So stop looking at that loose brick work and give us a call, it will take nothing but your time to make that initial enquiry.
Garden Clearance and Replant Services
Some of our customers prefer to start on their gardens with a blank canvas, this enables us to develop the garden around their needs. However the thought of clearing the whole, or even just part of a garden, and then disposing of the waste is a daunting one. Even a small garden can be a real challenge. This is where TLC can help.
At TLC size doesn't matter. Don't think that we can't do something with your small garden. Some of the nicest, most relaxing gardens are simply an extension of your house like an extra room. Only they have the benefit of evening stars and honeysuckle fragrances. Small gardens are fun, and closer to the wine rack.
We can also replant your garden to fit your life style. A good looking, balanced, but low maintenance garden really can be a possibility. However, sometimes it is nice to consider the other aspects. Maybe you have plenty of time on your hands and would like to spend more of it relaxing in your own warm garden, tending to the shrubs and trimming the neat borders. Maybe you want vivid bursts of blazing colour, or maybe you want the rural feeling, that hard to describe "nature under control" feeling. Perhaps the thought of picking raspberries with the children for Sunday tea sounds just about perfect, and if you have an ideal corner in your garden, we'll spot it. The excitement of really wanting to be in your garden and to sit with friends looking over your own piece of England really can be within reach.
The service is tailored around your requirements so please feel free to take advantage of our free quotes for everything from the clearing of one bush to the whole garden. The planting of one tree, or the creation of your own orchard, please ask us. We love fruit trees here at TLC and are keen to point out to customers that "tree" doesn’t have to equal "big". Fruit trees can be trained in many different ways and we think everybody should have one in their garden. Blossom in the spring and fruit in the autumn what could be better? How about some homemade jam ?
Garden Design and Build Service
Maybe you have just moved house, had the same plants in the same place for years and want the garden to have a new look or a large rockery that is well passed its best, you don’t want a lawn so what other options do you have ?
Our Garden Design and Build Service is the one for you. When people think of a garden design and build service they may assume that it’s all or nothing, with TLC that’s not the case we are happy to design and build small areas as well as the whole garden large or small. We are very keen to introduce customers to the joy of eating home grown produce, so maybe some sweetcorn at the back of a bed, runner beans against trellis or a fruit tree fanned against a wall. Looks good and tastes great.
Or are you a budding designer yourself and want the plants sourcing and the building work done ? For either please take advantage of our free quotes. Remember at TLC we are happy to spread work over a period or complete the job in one go.
