Our Service Has Changed
To be added to our waiting list for the coming year, please contact the relevant area coordinator below.
Our Gardening service is delivered by trusted, fully DBS checked staff, and is available to all older residents living in Hertfordshire.
Our team of knowledgeable, fully insured, equipped staff can complete basic gardening tasks such as:
• Mowing
• Weeding
• Strimming
• Leaf collection
• Hedge cutting (under 8ft)
We are a ground-based service and are therefore unable to work at heights above 8ft. Please ensure any animal faeces are cleared from the garden before the gardener commences the work and ensure that you have a garden waste bin when we visit.
