Professional Gardeners
in Lordswood
Lordswood estate gardens share a similar layout and a similar set of problems. We know them well, and we keep them on schedule rather than letting them get away.
Estate Gardens,
Properly Maintained
Lordswood was developed through the 1970s and 80s on the downs south of Chatham, up against the woodland fringe. The plots are fairly uniform: fenced boundaries, a rear lawn, original hedging that is now well established, and a driveway or patio at the front.
Uniformity works in your favour. We know what these gardens need and how long they take, which makes scheduled maintenance efficient and keeps the cost sensible without ever compromising the finish.
The woodland edge brings its own issues. Leaf fall through autumn, shade along the rear boundaries, and consistent pressure from self-seeded sycamore and bramble coming in off the tree line.
Covering Lordswood (ME5) and the surrounding areas of Kent and the Medway valley.

What Lordswood Gardens
Actually Need
Every area has its own soil, aspect and housing stock, and Lordswood is no exception. Here is what shapes the work we do locally.
Mature estate hedging
Original boundary planting now at full size. Reduction, reshaping and annual maintenance to keep it in proportion to the plot.
Woodland edge pressure
Bramble, ivy and self-seeded saplings push in from the tree line every season. Kept on top of, it is routine. Left alone, it becomes a clearance.
Drives and patios
Jet washing driveways, paths and patios, plus fence painting and finishing work that lifts the whole frontage.
