Looking for a gardener in Barrow upon Soar?
I'm Tony from TR Gardening Services in Melton Mowbray. If you live in Barrow upon Soar and the garden is becoming more work than you have time for, I can talk through the jobs and see how I can help.
Some gardens need a straightforward mow, hedge trim and tidy at regular intervals. Others have shrubs that need cutting back, beds full of weeds or an awkward corner that's been left for a while. There's no fixed list you have to sign up for.
I've spent more than 20 years working professionally in gardening. I'm City & Guilds qualified, Lantra certified and fully insured, and you'll deal with me rather than a call centre.

Gardening help for homes around Barrow upon Soar
Barrow upon Soar has long been connected with the River Soar, and the older streets give it a different feel from the larger towns nearby. The gardens reflect that variety too: established planting in some places and newer, easier-to-manage plots in others.
A bigger back garden can be lovely, but a long hedge or a few fast-growing beds can take a surprising amount of time. Smaller gardens bring different jobs, such as keeping narrow borders and paths clear without letting plants crowd them.
Let me know whether you're nearer the centre, the riverside or the roads towards the station. I'll confirm arrangements from my Melton Mowbray base before booking work.
A bit of help can make a big difference
A garden doesn't have to be huge to need attention. These are some of the reasons people ask me for help.
The garden is getting too much
Perhaps you still enjoy being outside, but cutting back shrubs and clearing beds is hard work. I can discuss taking on those jobs.
You want an easier weekend
Instead of giving up half Saturday to mowing and tidying, arrange help with the routine jobs and enjoy the space.
You have inherited a lot of planting
Moving into an established garden can be daunting. We can identify which jobs are worth doing first and make a start.
Garden maintenance in Barrow upon Soar, at a pace that suits you
Gardens near Barrow change considerably through the seasons. Fresh spring growth needs checking, grass grows quickly through summer and established shrubs can need attention at different times of year.
We can look at the jobs separately: mowing and edges, hedges, borders, general pruning, tidy-ups and the occasional larger clear-up. I also undertake jet washing and small garden woodwork jobs where appropriate.
I'd rather agree what is needed than put every garden on the same timetable. A single visit may be enough, or a few visits across the growing season may make better sense.

A few common questions
Do you cover the whole of Barrow upon Soar?
Contact me with your location in the village and the jobs you need done. I'll confirm whether I can arrange a visit.
Can you look after an established garden?
Yes. Mature shrubs, hedges and planted borders often need ongoing attention as well as occasional heavier work.
Will you take on a small garden?
Yes. Small gardens still have lawns, borders, pruning and tidying jobs that can take time.
Can I ask for a one-off tidy-up?
Of course. Tell me what's got away from you and we'll discuss the practical work involved.
Do you need to see the garden first?
For some jobs, photos and a discussion may be enough initially. For larger or less straightforward work, we can arrange a look.
