Seasonal garden care in Ealing

Ealing's gardens enjoy a long, mild growing season, but the heavy clay soil that runs beneath much of W5, W13, W3 and W7 changes character sharply through the year, holding water in winter and baking hard in a dry summer. Good seasonal garden care works with that rhythm rather than against it, so the jobs you do in each season set up the garden to look its best in the next. The guide below sets out the key tasks for spring, summer, autumn and winter, tailored to the way gardens actually behave in this corner of West London.

Whether you tend the garden yourself or rely on our regular maintenance visits, timing matters. Aeration done in autumn lets a clay lawn recover over winter; feeding in spring feeds the growth you want rather than the weeds you don't; and a hedge cut at the right moment keeps a boundary neighbourly without robbing the next year's flowering. Use the seasonal checklist below as a practical guide, and get in touch if you would like us to take any of it off your hands.
