GARDEN MAINTENANCE
Servicing North London Gardens
Welcome and thank you for visiting Carmen and Blake Gardens. We appreciate that your garden is a place that can give you immense satisfaction, peace and a sanctuary to escape from the stresses of life. We look forward to working with you to help you achieve the garden of your dreams.
ABOUT US…
We are a husband and wife gardening team living in Highgate with our son Axel and miniature pinscher Dexter. Gardening is our passion and we have over 10 years experience working as gardeners. In 2019 whilst living in Suffolk, we decided to start our own gardening business. Our business thrived and we thoroughly enjoyed maintaining our clients gardens in Suffolk. However in 2024 we decided to move back to London in order to be nearer our family and loved ones.
OUR SERVICES
You can count on us to meet all your needs and requests. Learn more about some of the services we provide below, and let us know if you would like more information about a specific offering.
GARDEN WEEDING
Weeds can pop up all over your garden. Keeping beds free from unwanted plants is an ongoing task in the garden. Knowing how these weeds grow helps us tackle them in the most efficient and timely way. For example perennial weeds should be removed by the root to ensure that they stay away for as long as possible.
SHRUB AND TREE PRUNING
Pruning involves the removal of weaker twigs, sprawling branches or overgrown shoots. Thinning out the branches periodically helps to promote air circulation and stimulate the growth of young shoots.
LAWN CARE
Regularly mowing your lawn will help promote lush, green growth. We makes sure to kill weeds like dandelions when we see them to stop them competing with the grass. We also feed and fertilise lawns as well as scarifying and aerating to get them looking their best.
LEAF CLEARANCE
Fallen leaves left on your lawn or in your plant beds can have negative affect on the plants growth and health. Leaves left on lawns can deprive the grass of sunlight, cause disease and may leave lawns looking patchy. It is important to clear leaves regularly, especially in the autumn months.
PLANTING
We are happy to work along side you to create a new planting design or to add and improve to an existing garden design. Planting new trees, flowers or shrubs in the ground doesn't just provide you with beauty and shade, it can also improve your property value, lower your energy costs, clean the air and water.
MULCHING
Mulching is a great way to save water, suppress weeds and improve the soil around plants. It also gives your garden a neat, tidy appearance and can reduce the amount of time spent on tasks such as watering and weeding. Mulches help soil retain moisture in summer, rain to penetrate the soil in winter, prevent weeds from growing and protect the roots of plants in winter. We offer a mulching service and can arrange for mulches to be delivered to your property.
OUR CLIENTS
I was very happy to employ Blake and Carmen as gardeners over a number of years as they are very knowledgeable about gardening, hard working and prepared to tackle anything.
G. Maynard, Suffolk
Blake and Carmen have been tending my garden for the past three and a half years in Suffolk. They are a cheerful, friendly couple who work well together, complimenting each others particular skills. Displaying enthusiasm, knowledge and flair for their chosen career. They show initiative and ability to plan ahead for the coming seasons whilst having empathy for the clients wishes. They are certainly missed.
L. Wiltshear, Suffolk
We can’t recommend Blake and Carmen enough. In 2021 they transformed our garden and we absolutely love it! From the initial design, to sourcing and replanting, their knowledge about plants was excellent and guided us as to what would work best in our environment. They continued to maintain our garden regularly and will be missed due to their relocation. We are very grateful to them for all they have done and wish them all the best for the future.
S & E Sheehan, Suffolk
Blake and Carmen worked regularly in my garden for approximately three years. In all that time they were conscientious, willing and had good knowledge of plants. They were a friendly presence in my garden. The reason for their leaving was their move from the area. I wish them and their family all the best for the future.
