Gardening Lee — Professional Garden Services Overview

Gardening Lee provides tailored garden care for homes and businesses across Lee and surrounding neighbourhoods. Our team of experienced Lee gardening specialists delivers practical, attractive and compliant solutions — from bespoke decking to routine lawn care. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern standards so your outdoor spaces look their best and stay safe, functional and sustainable year-round.

About our Lee garden care

Gardener Lee teams are fully insured, bonded and trained to work in a range of property types, including terraced and semi-detached gardens, Victorian rear courtyards, new-build plots and commercial frontages. We place a strong emphasis on compliance with building and waste regulations, and we follow local authority guidance when disposing of green waste from residential and commercial sites.

Decking Services

New timber decking being installed in an urban garden Our decking services are designed to add usable outdoor living space while meeting all relevant safety and planning requirements. Whether you want a raised timber deck for a South London patio or a low-profile composite deck for a small Lee garden, our installation process includes site surveys, subframe checks, treatment of joinery, and clear documentation for planning where necessary. We source high-quality materials and offer both pressure-treated softwood and composite alternatives to suit budget and sustainability goals. For terraced houses we pay special attention to drainage and neighbour access; for commercial properties we can provide anti-slip finishes and reinforced substructures.

Garden Clearance

Our garden clearance service clears overgrown plots, removes invasive plants and prepares sites for redevelopment or landscaping. We work efficiently in a variety of local settings — narrow alley gardens, gated courtyards, estate communal areas and small commercial yards — ensuring waste is segregated on-site for recycling where possible. All disposed material is handled according to local authority standards and our transfer notes and waste carrier documentation are available on request to demonstrate our commitment to responsible disposal.

Garden Maintenance

Routine garden maintenance from Gardening Lee includes seasonal pruning, bed cultivation, mulching, planting rotations and pest management designed to protect biodiversity. Our maintenance schedules are tailored to the microclimate and soil conditions typical of Lee gardens: compact urban soils, partially shaded rear gardens and tree-lined streets. We offer bespoke maintenance contracts for householders and strata managers, balancing tidy presentation with ecological sensitivity to support pollinators and local wildlife.

Hedge Trimming

Lee hedge trimming is performed to preserve plant health, sightlines and boundary integrity. Our teams use the correct cutting regimes for native hedgerows and cultivated species, observing bird nesting season restrictions and other legislative protections. Hedge trimming in progress in a typical Lee residential garden We document hedge heights and reductions for compliance purposes and can liaise with local authorities or estate managers when works are part of a larger property programme. We also provide options for sustainable disposal, including chipping for on-site mulch or transporting to accredited green waste facilities.

Landscaping

Our landscaping service covers concept-to-completion design and build for private gardens, communal courtyards and small commercial sites. Gardening Lee creates practical layouts that respond to light, drainage and client lifestyle, integrating patios, planting, irrigation and lighting. We provide CAD-ready plans and, where required, coordinate with building control for structures such as retaining walls and pergolas. Materials are chosen with longevity and environmental impact in mind, and installations in conservation areas are managed to meet local planning expectations.

Lawn Mowing

Consistent lawn mowing is central to any garden programme. Our lawn care packages include mowing, edge trimming, scarifying, aeration and targeted feeding, adjusted to the lawn species and usage patterns common in Lee gardens and communal lawns. We cater for high-traffic commercial verges and council-facing frontages as well as private family lawns, ensuring cut heights and care schedules reduce disease risk and improve turf resilience. Gardening Lee professionals use petrol and battery tools maintained to safety standards and can provide records of equipment checks for contract management.

Services for Homes and Commercial Clients

We work across domestic and commercial sectors, adapting logistics for narrow access in terraced areas and constrained rear gardens, as well as coordinating with site managers on estates and retail frontages. Key operational features include:

Site-specific risk assessments for each visit or project;
Waste handling protocols that reflect local council rules for household waste versus commercial green waste;
Vehicle and equipment access planning to minimise disturbance in densely built parts of Lee and adjacent boroughs.

Compliance, Insurance and Certifications

Gardening Lee takes compliance seriously. We maintain full public liability and employer's insurance and carry risk assessments and method statements for more complex projects. Our teams are trained in health and safety, manual handling and the safe operation of powered tools. For landscaping projects requiring planning or building control sign-off, we prepare the necessary documentation and coordinate with certifying bodies to ensure that installations meet regulatory requirements.

Environmental Standards and Sustainability

Sustainable planting and green waste chipping operations Sustainability is embedded in our approach. We prioritise low-impact materials, responsibly sourced timber and recyclable or long-life composite products. Planting schemes focus on native and pollinator-friendly species where suitable, and we use integrated pest management to reduce reliance on chemical controls. Green waste is assessed on-site for chipping, composting or transfer to licensed green waste facilities, in line with local authority guidance for household and commercial waste streams.
