Recently relocated from Dorset to Brighton. The reviews on this site are from my Dorset clients, and I am now building my Sussex client base.

How can I help?

Two ways to start

Whether your garden needs steady care or a fresh start.

Garden Care

Regular visits, seasonal work or a single job done well, for private gardens and grounds.

Garden Renovation

Bring a tired or overgrown garden back to life, step by step, led by you.

Also worth a look

Growing, mulching and wildlife projects

Kitchen gardens

Grow good food without it taking over your life. Looked after through the season, or designed and built from scratch.

Winter mulching

A job for the quiet months that keeps weeds down, holds moisture and makes next season easier.

Projects & add-ons

Larger builds like native lawns, meadows, hedging and veg beds, plus bug hotels, bird boxes, micro ponds and compost bins.

How I garden

Climate-conscious, wildlife-led care

Soil

Feed the ground, not the bin

Compost and leaf mould made on site wherever possible, then returned as mulch. Less bought-in, less carted away, and a soil that holds more.

Water

Keep it where it falls

Winter mulch, healthier soil and water capture mean beds that need less watering through dry summers, which saves both effort and cost.

Life

Make room for wildlife

Nesting birds checked before hedge and tree work, native and pollinator-friendly planting, and no chemical-led methods.

What clients say

“Finn is an absolute star. He has been helping us with our large garden for a number of years. Hard-working and enthusiastic, he has loads of initiative and is brimming with great ideas. He is also a delight to work with – respectful, courteous, polite and charming. We can’t recommend him more highly”

Alison, Wareham

“I have been the beneficiary of Finn’s motivation to help me develop the garden, creating new areas of interest and planting, that lack of time and support previously precluded me from achieving. He is a joy to have around, and I have found him trustworthy. As a consequence, I have always been happy to recommend his services to others.”

Andrew, Wareham
