An Inside Look at Your Garden Needs: An Interview with Founder Andy Coxon

What inspired you to start your business?
My passion for the outdoors and desire to offer complete, expert garden care inspired me to start this business. I saw a gap in the market for high-quality horticultural management and wanted to create a service that nurtures gardens with the attention they deserve.

What makes your approach unique?
Our approach is rooted in people and personalisation. We recruit passionate, qualified gardeners who understand that no two gardens are alike. We tailor our care to each space, focusing not just on maintenance but on long-term garden development. From soil health to plant growth cycles, we manage every detail to ensure gardens thrive year-round.

How do you keep gardens healthy all year?
It’s all about horticultural expertise. We use correct watering techniques, nutrient balancing, and plant-specific care to promote lasting health. Our goal is to help every plant reach its full potential, regardless of season.

What’s a common garden issue you solve?
Water management is a frequent challenge—too much or too little can be harmful. We address this with smart irrigation systems and guidance on watering practices. We also select plants suited to each garden’s conditions for better long-term results.

What’s the most rewarding part of your work?
Watching a garden transform and evolve is incredibly satisfying. We take pride in helping gardens reach their potential and love hearing from clients who notice the difference our care makes.

Favourite tools of the trade?
Our adjustable tripod ladders are essential—safe, stable, and perfect for tricky spaces. We also rely on our trusty secateurs for clean, precise cuts that support plant health and appearance.

When does a garden need professional help?
A big indicator is underperforming plants, especially those poorly pruned or managed at the wrong time. We ensure all care is seasonally appropriate to support growth and flowering.

How do you ensure long-term plant success?
We use regenerative pruning, tailored watering, and fertilisation plans to maintain health year after year. Our focus is always on sustainable, flourishing gardens.

Exciting trends?
Battery-powered tools are a game changer—light, quiet, and eco-friendly. We’re excited to adopt more of these sustainable solutions.

What feedback means the most?
Clients often praise our team’s passion, reliability, and depth of knowledge. It’s rewarding to know that our consistent, thoughtful work makes a lasting impact.
