Services

Garden Maintenance

Our garden maintenance service ensures your outdoor space remains pristine year-round through seasonal pruning, weeding, lawn mowing, and debris removal. Tailored schedules accommodate weekly, fortnightly, or monthly visits, with additional services like autumn leaf clearance and hedge trimming. Using battery-powered tools to reduce noise and emissions, we prioritise eco-conscious practices while delivering consistent, professional results for residential and commercial properties.

Tree Surgery

Professional tree surgery services include crown reduction, stump grinding, and complete tree removal for safety and aesthetic purposes. Our certified arborists assess tree health, execute precise cuts, and dispose of waste responsibly. Emergency call-outs address storm-damaged trees, while preventative maintenance prolongs tree lifespan. All work complies with industry safety standards and local regulations.

Landscaping

From concept to completion, our landscaping service creates functional outdoor spaces with patios, decking, and planting schemes. We handle groundworks, drainage solutions, and soft landscaping elements like turfing and mulching. Custom designs integrate client preferences with practical considerations, ensuring sustainable, visually appealing results for new build gardens or renovation projects.

Fencing Installation

We install durable fencing solutions including feather edge, Venetian, and security mesh systems. Services cover post replacement, panel installation, and repairs using pressure-treated timber. Our team ensures secure, weather-resistant installations that enhance property boundaries while adhering to local planning guidelines and providing long-term durability.

Waste Collection

Specialised waste collection removes garden debris, construction rubble, and household junk using purpose-built vehicles. We handle large-scale clearances, recycling materials where possible through approved facilities. Commercial clients benefit from scheduled waste management plans, while domestic customers receive one-off removal services for sheds, fences, and renovation waste.

Hired JDS to do a big clean up of a very over grown and unkept shared garden. They Were incredibly professional and very polite guys. Job was completed in one day as quoted by Alex and the two guys who came did a stellar job. Will definitely be getting them back for the next job!
Was very happy with the price quoted for the size and amount of work the job entailed.
Thoroughly recommend using JDS

We had a large bed in the garden with many overgrown shrubs - they had grown into mini-trees - roots too big for us to tackle. JDS came, had a look, gave an estimate and agreed a date. Two cheerful young men arrived on the dot and did the job perfectly - and removed all the debris. I now have a new bed to fill with colourful flowers. Roll on summer. I can highly recommend them.

I used JDS for several years as a garden maintenance service and only stopped because I moved house. I loved the way their service was structured with easy, regular payments. The gardeners always turned up when expected and did a great job, so much so that I was able to trust them when I lived abroad to keep the garden looking good whilst I was away. They have done extra work as requested, always to a good standard. I have happily recommended them to friends and to the new owners of the house knowing that JDS will do a good job.
