The gardening year is well under way, and the garden maintenance services are now fairly well booked up.
If you have any enquiries regarding a regular visit or a one off job or project, please call Iain on 07495 261627.

Plants are now available again as the stock has now been safely relocated to Dumfries, and we have our new Scottish plant paperwork in order.
Images below of some of the plants that are currently in stock.

I’m hoping to make a modest range of seed available later this year under the ‘Borringtons’ brand.

Hi, thanks for dropping by. New start in Dumfries as we are slowly moving from Cumbria across the border, into Scotland.

Lots to do finding new clients, getting my growing area at home ready to start new plants and to move my remaining stock to our new address.

Starting a brand new ‘No Dig’ garden as well, so I’ll hopefully have updates on how that’s going.

If you’re looking for a gardener, or help on a one off project, please give me a call on 07495 261627.

Not much work currently with the very cold weather. Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year.

Please call me on 07495 261627, if you’d like to book garden visits for the new season, Feb and March are great times to get your outside spaces power washed ready for the new garden year.

I’m taking on new garden work again, if you have any garden maintenance jobs, please email me iain@borringtons.com or call 07495 261627.

Plants are available again, new stock is being added currently.

I’m unable to take on any more work this year, as I have limited days due to my full time job, and the days are getting shorter and the weather less predictable. Thanks to everyone who has contacted me to carry out maintenance on their gardens this year.

I may have some plants to clear and If time allows, I will add these into the shop and pop adverts on my social media channels and email everyone on my list.

Unfortunately it’s damaging to both machines and lawns to mow in the wet, strain is put on petrol mower engines, and using electric in wet conditions is obviously dangerous when any kind of work is being carried out.

Grass is also prone to clumping, leaving lumps of bruised grass on the lawn and as the water impedes the spin of the blade, there is a tendency for the grass to tear rather than cut. If a lawn is quite mossy, the strain is even greater as moss takes far longer to dry out.

Water ingress is also greater when a lawn is very wet, leading to greater damage to the machine over all.

Have a look at the article below for more information and the video, which shows an extreme case of lawn damage…..
