Ryley's Garden Maintenance

Some little hedges from this week 👨‍🌾

Heavy cut back on this Wisteria. Although it was beautiful it had started taking over the house 👨‍🌾

Part of the original railway bank thats now apart of someones garden. It was definitely in need of a cut back 👨‍🌾

Golden Privet hedge cut back for another year 👨‍🌾

Light trim on this young Hornbeam Hedge (Carrpinus Betulus)
Its great to see people planting native hedges over Laurels or Conifer 👨‍🌾

Good news! One of the bird boxes I installed has nesting Blue T**s! 👨‍🌾

Thank you to Susan and Martin for sending in the great photo.

Conifer Hedge trimmed back for another year 👨‍🌾

Gooseberry and Red Currant patch weeded with some bark mulch added. Also Rhubarb patch weeded and edged up. 👨‍🌾

Most people think gardens in winter are dull with not a lot happening, but you if you close enough you'll find the beauty in it. There's still colour in the gardens and some amazing foliage. (And yes the Aster should definitely not be out now!)

Glad to get the last of the stones down today and planted a Nandina which are great for shaded areas and autumn colour. Now to plant some more Hosta's and a Daphne to complete the area 👨‍🌾

Thank you for the opportunity to help tidy up the Memorial Garden at St Leonards Church in Turners Hill. Hopefully it stays nice and clear until the spring.

One of my favourite job to do is tree planting. This week I planted 3 trees + some lovely Camellias in one of my customers garden.

🌳 Royal Raindrop Crabapple
🌳 Prunus Chocolate Ice (Cherry)
🌳 Betula Jacquemontii (Himalayan Birch)

This weekends job in the rain, glad to get it all tidy for the winter. Thanks for the help Brad!

Two small flower meadows cut down as well as a quick trim on the hedge. Wild flower meadows thrive off poor soil conditions. At the end of each growing season you cut it down and remove the waste, not allowing all the cuttings to break down back into the soil. Over time the soil will become poor improving the competition for wild flower.

5 tonn bags later and this Laurels, Conifer and Rhododendron hedge is all done. Looking good for another year 👨‍🌾

Last cut of the year for these two big hedges, looking nice and neat 👨‍🌾

One of three Conifer hedges done this weekend. Looking much better and won't need doing for another year 👨‍🌾

This garden I have taken on hasn't been touched in 2 years. I have managed to prune the Roses before its too late as well. Its starting to take place 👨‍🌾
