Transform your garden to a low-maintenance haven with chemical-free weed control

Jenny from

Having been providing our chemical-free garden restoration services for 6 months now, we have been delighted to experience a range of outdoor environments, advised gardeners and non-gardeners alike on our unique methodology, followed up if wanted with the necessary weeding and mulching, and seen them enjoy the results.

Some have been short-term restorations, recovering a well-planned garden from just a few years of weed invasion.

Others are long-term projects, creating the conditions for the desired plants to succeed, and for easy weed control in the future.

If you are finding your garden hard to manage, through lack of time or difficult conditions, we offer a thorough site assessment in which we will listen to your needs and wishes, with identification of both weeds and any unrecognised free, wild and low maintenance plants... including hidden gems like the native tree seedlings, kahikatea and tanekaha, discovered in a small garden this week, hidden under a few weeds, beside a fence behind Agapanthus, under Japanese anemones and Pineapple sage.
