Professional Gardeners
in Cuxton
Cuxton gardens climb the west side of the Medway valley, which makes almost every plot a sloping one. We are set up for exactly that kind of work.
Gardening on the
Medway Valley Slopes
Cuxton is stacked up the steep chalk slope on the west side of the Medway valley. Properties are stepped up the hillside and the gardens follow, so terracing, retaining walls and awkward gradients are the norm rather than the exception.
Sloping gardens are slower to work and harder to get right. Mowing a bank safely, edging a terrace cleanly and clearing green waste uphill all take longer than the equivalent job on the flat, which is precisely why a phone quote on a Cuxton garden is worthless.
The chalk underneath is thin and free-draining. Topsoil is often shallow, so lawns brown off early in a dry spell and planting needs choosing for drought tolerance rather than optimism.

What Cuxton Gardens
Actually Need
Every area has its own soil, aspect and housing stock, and Cuxton is no exception. Here is what shapes the work we do locally.
Terraced and banked gardens
Safe, careful work on gradients, with the same standard of finish we would apply to a level plot. Sleeper installation and terrace repair where the structure needs it.
Thin chalk soil
Shallow topsoil over chalk dries out fast. Drought-tolerant planting and a proper lawn feeding regime, rather than watering a losing battle.
Limited access
Hillside plots often mean no vehicle access to the rear. We plan clearance and waste removal around it before quoting, not on the day.
