At Oxford Garden Design, we have a team of professional gardeners ready to take care of your garden all year round, taking the weight off your shoulders so that you can love your garden again.
You might want us to take care of everything in your garden, from mowing the lawn to tying in your raspberry canes. Alternatively, you can choose to do some things yourself, like spring planting, and let us do everything else, like sweeping up leaves. Our in-house team of professional gardeners have years of experience, so your garden will be in good hands (with green fingers, of course!)
Whatever the size of your garden, we can ensure it is always looking its best. Our flexible maintenance services mean that whether you have a small courtyard or a sprawling country garden, you’ll have a team of horticulturalists who keep everything under control. We also cover holiday or sick leave within the team, so your garden remains well cared for all year round without interruption.
Our reliable gardeners are a friendly team and will build up a relationship with you and your garden. It is their job not only to turn up when they are expected but also to offer advice and help with any tasks required, such as strimming, lawn-cutting, weeding, leaf clearance, hedge-trimming, and general garden upkeep.
“Just wanted to say a big Thank You to Olly for taking on the pre-winter tidy-up of our garden and patios in Shutford. Olly accomplished a staggering amount in the time he was with us and the result was fantastic - I just wish we had done this sooner!”
Kate and Finlay, Shutford

Garden maintenance means keeping your garden healthy, tidy, and looking its best through regular care tasks. It includes everything needed to preserve the beauty, health, and functionality of outdoor spaces.
Garden maintenance typically includes lawn care, border and edge maintenance, watering, weeding, pruning, hedge trimming, jet washing, mulching, and fertilising. Together, these tasks help keep your garden neat and thriving all year round.
To maintain a garden, you need to carry out regular tasks such as mowing the lawn, watering plants, trimming hedges, removing weeds, pruning shrubs, and keeping patios and paths clean. Good garden maintenance promotes healthy growth and prevents small issues from becoming major problems.
Most gardens benefit from maintenance visits every one to two weeks during the growing season. Smaller gardens or low-maintenance spaces may only need monthly visits, while larger or more detailed gardens often need weekly care to stay at their best.
A low maintenance garden for the elderly focuses on simple planting schemes, easy-care perennials, raised beds, and slow-growing shrubs. Choosing drought-tolerant plants and minimal-lawn designs helps reduce the amount of watering, pruning, and physical upkeep needed.
The responsibility for cutting overhanging hedges generally falls to the person who owns the hedge, but neighbours are allowed to trim any branches that overhang their property line. It’s usually best to discuss and agree arrangements to avoid disputes.
