Grass cutting and lawn care

Larger lawns need specialised equipment to keep them in great shape. The Keep It Green fleet of ride on mowers make easy work of mowing large swathes of grass. We have listened to recommendations from greenkeepers and invested in mowers that with adjustable cutting heights and the ability to collect clippings. Each mower also has an attachment for creating stripes in the lawn.

For smaller lawns or those tucked away areas in the garden, our teams use pedestrian mowers for a precise finish.

If your lawn requires feeding, scarification, aeration moss control or weed and feed treatments, we can help. Director Chris Webster is fully qualified in the mixing and application of chemical treatments.

Maintenance for ponds and waterways

Most garden owners aspire to a naturally beautiful pond, lake or waterway, but Mother Nature sometimes has other ideas. The Keep It Green team are experienced in clearing unwanted pond vegetation, removing silt and caring for filtration equipment.

Great care is taken to preserve and enhance the ecology of your water feature – no matter how large or small it may be.

Fruit trees need annual pruning to ensure their productivity. Our horticulturists know exactly how to stimulate the growth of fruiting spurs whilst deterring pests and diseases. When it comes to ornamental trees and shrubs, Chris and the team are never happier than when shaping topiary or caring for woody plants.
