Garden Services in Bicester, Oxfordshire
Bicester has expanded quickly, and a lot of its gardens are new. New-build plots arrive with thin turf laid on compacted subsoil, a single shrub in a square of bark, and a fence built to a schedule rather than to last.
The first few seasons decide how a garden like that turns out. We improve the ground, get the lawn established, plant into soil that has been prepared rather than scraped, and keep the boundary in one piece.
Parking is the practical snag on the newer estates. We agree where to leave the vehicle before the first visit, keep the driveway clear, and work around cars rather than asking anyone to move them halfway through the job.
The work we are asked for most in Bicester
New turf on the newer Bicester estates needs aerating, feeding and careful mowing while it knits into the soil.
Small new-build gardens gain most from proper ground preparation, decent topsoil and planting that will grow rather than sulk.
Standard estate fencing can be strengthened and repaired panel by panel instead of being replaced wholesale.

Bicester garden questions
My new-build lawn is patchy after the first year. Why?
Usually compaction and shallow topsoil. Aerating, top dressing and overseeding in autumn makes a big difference if it is done before the grass thins further.
Can you improve the soil in a new garden?
Yes. We break up the compacted layer, work in organic matter, and plant into that rather than into the original subsoil.
Do you look after older gardens in Bicester too?
We do. The older streets have mature hedges and lawns that mostly need routine maintenance rather than renovation.
