The colder months are almost upon us, but don't think that means you can forget all about your garden until spring!
In order to ensure that your garden makes it through the winter, Mark Stradling from Mark's Garden Services has provided us with a range of hints and tips:
Fencing
Check your fences for broken posts and have them repaired. Do not wait for them to break your other posts or panels.
Lawn Care
Weed and feed your lawn. It has had a hard time recently and deserves a little TLC.
Hedge Trimming/Reductions
Trim your hedges and if you want them reduced, now is the time.
Tree Pruning
As with hedge cutting, your trees need pruning from time to time, and again, autumn is the time to do it.
Fruit trees are pruned in either January or February.
Shrub Pruning
Your shrubs will also need pruning to keep the shape that you want them to have, so make sure you do it in the next couple of weeks to ensure they look as good as possible over the coming months.
Winter Protection
Protect your delicate plants and shrubs in your borders from winter freezing by wrapping them up or simply by just moving the planted pot closer to your house and then wrapping them up.
