This young mum needs some help getting her garden back into shape ready for summer. A quick transformation of the overgrown and weed ridden yard was the only way to get the garden into a more easily manageable condition.
Watch how this garden comes back to life and what difference one hours work and giving back to someone else can do.
This quick makeover will allow a young boy and his mom and dad to spend some lovely time outdoors and make it far easier for them to maintain later on.
Thanks for watching
Martin.

That’s the perfect size lawn for most seniors. I have a little over an acre to try to keep up with. It looked so much better. One more thing, always listen to your wife. 😊

@martinthegardenguy 2 месяца назад

Wow, one acre....I could grow a serious amount of food in that much land. You lucky thing 😁 although I'm sure it's a fair amount of work. So you may not feel lucky 😂 Thanks for the comment 👍 Martin.

Your homeowners must feel so relieved once you are done. The changes are always remarkable. I think it would be encouraging if you left them a potted flowering garden plant somewhere in the landscape, as if to say . . . "Here is your starter garden, now carry on."

If you don't have room to store a bunch of yard equipment, it seems like all you really need is a strimmer to keep it neat. Cracking job Martin 💗💗

@martinthegardenguy 2 месяца назад

You're probably right 😊 It wouldn't be the best cut in the world, but it'd work OK 😁 I'd get bored of raking up the grass, though 😅, and strimmers are quite messy. Thanks for the comment, as always 👍 😊

Oh yes, I've been in touch with her recently. I'm planning to revisit within the next week or so. I've been waiting for the plants that I have sown to grow. Just a selection to plants in the garden.

@lauralake7430 2 месяца назад

Really nice, perfect little yard. Could the patio pavers maybe need some sand brushed in to help keep the weeds down? I mixed salt in with the sand when i did my mom’s patio, and it seems to have really helped.

@martinthegardenguy 2 месяца назад

That's a great idea 👍 it does help. Although I've not done it for years, I tend to use manual ways to keep the weeds down. Or my new flame gun 😂

I can’t help myself , when I see a garden my imagination Starts going on overdrive. I see the shed moved to the end of the garden Maybe on the slant, I want to plant a tree and fill a border with clematis And foxgloves. I have to remind myself it’s not mine! This is your job Martin and it pays the bills But I know you are a true gardener, How do you cope with following A clients wish to keep the plants in check? Do you get more enjoyment when gardening In a garden filled with wildlife. By the way this is not aimed at any particular garden Just a thought! Best wishes.

@martinthegardenguy 2 месяца назад

Oh, hello 👋 This is exactly how I feel in all my clients' gardens. I always say (in my head) what I'd do if it were mine 😂 I am quite picky in my clients though, there's lots of things I refuse to do. Like installing artificial turf, and things like that. I also refuse to prune things that are flowering. Unless there's a very good reason. Touch wood, my clients are always happy for me to have free reign 😁 and the free jobs I do, I have total autonomy of course 😀 P.s yes, I love gardens that are full of wildlife. The more, the merrier 😄

Honestly, it depends mate, the hedge cutter and strimmer last for ages. But the leaf blower will flatten two batteries in about 10 mins. I keep 10 fully charged in the van, and I've never run out during a job. Although my mower is petrol, lof it was cordless I'd needs a lot more batteries. 👍😅
