Why Birmingham homeowners use cpm for their gardening requirements

The gardening seasons in Birmingham are heavily influenced by the variable weather conditions present in the city and the characteristic clay-loam soils. Therefore local knowledge really counts here; i.e., a gardener with knowledge of how different aspects of Birmingham vary, such as the differing levels of moisture held by sheltered valleys in Moseley compared to the exposed slopes near Sutton Park, would formulate plans for improving Soil quality and planting schedules appropriately and give guidance based upon conditions unique to Birmingham. Local experts familiar with your Soil: the majority of Birmingham sits on glacial drift with clay loams making up the topsoils in each of the local neighbourhoods. The teams at cpm understand the problems presented by poor drainage in these clay loams and which of the native species and garden plants thrive in them. Full range of gardening services: we are able to replace several separate gardening contractors with One company because we offer a broad variety of gardening services; ranging from lawn mowing and hedge cutting to garden Design, Tree Surgery and power washing. Many local gardening contractors offer some form of routine maintenance and property modification services, and we are able to provide that complete service under One umbrella. Flexible scheduling: in addition to accommodating busy professionals and families in Kings Heath, Selly Oak, and Edgbaston who need weekend or after-work appointments, we provide regular monthly or seasonal visit schedules for Residents requiring routine gardening care. Pricing transparency: there is considerable variation among the average prices charged by local gardening contractors for various gardening projects depending upon the size of the project and the skill of the contractor. Typical price ranges for general gardening jobs include $20-$30/hour and typical price ranges for daily rates for garden maintenance jobs include $175-$220/day. We provide a detailed Quote so that you know exactly what you are paying for — there will be no surprise fees.

Our gardening services in Birmingham

Each garden across Birmingham faces unique challenges – e.g., from very small terraced plots in Sparkbrook to larger more mature gardens in Bournville. Our gardening services and Landscaping Services meet those particular demands created by the varied nature of Birmingham’s Soil, climate, and architecture.

Maintenance and lawn care

Basic yard maintenance consists of lawn mowing, weeding and border upkeep. Given the high incidence of moss growth on lawns in Birmingham due to damp winters and clay soils, our lawn care programs include aeration, application of top dressing made from sand and loam, and seeding of shade tolerant grass varieties. Maintenance schedules consist of weekly or bi-weekly lawn mowing sessions, lawn edge work, weed management, seasonal applications to maintain optimal lawn health tailored to Birmingham’s changing climate. We also manage hedge clipping and trimming for all types of hedges – including Leylandii, privet, beech – commonly found on terraced/semi-detached housing stock in the central suburban areas of Birmingham.

Landscaping Design & construction

New landscape Design projects typically begin with a consultation designed to develop a proposal for implementation. For example, for properties located in Victorian or Edwardian style areas such as Edgbaston or Moseley, we develop garden designs that pay homage to the original formal symmetries and red-brick boundaries. In addition to designing landscapes (hard & soft), we construct patios, install fences, etc. Due to clay’s propensity to swell/shrink seasonally, all patio/drainage construction involves installing flexible joints, installing base courses made from type 1 aggregate, and using permeable pavers where drainage is required. Other services we offer include patio installations and artificial turf installations for minimal maintenance options. When selecting plants for landscaped gardens, we choose species that thrive in clay loams & resist pollution (e.g., acer campestre, Cornus alba, hydrangea spp., vinca minor).

Arboriculture & clearing overgrown gardens

Proper arboriculture techniques used by arborists working on trees in Birmingham require training in arboriculture and familiarity with local tree preservation orders. Our arboriculture team provides Tree Surgery services for mature trees found in long-established residential areas like Bournville and Edgbaston where trees located near major routes (hagley rd/pershore rd) can become hazardous during winter storms. Clearing overgrown gardens includes clearing all debris/waste from the site and disposing of all waste material according to current regulations – we hold the requisite waste carriers license for transporting green waste/garden debris to designated transfer stations.

Year-round seasonal gardening services

Birmingham’s gardeners face a wide array of seasonal concerns: * **Spring (mar-apr)**: improve Soil quality via compost/manure amendments for heavy clays, prune deciduous shrubs, prepare raised bed gardens, sow cool-season seeds * **autumn (oct-nov)**: remove leaves – especially excessive amounts found near Cannon Hill Park/Birmingham botanic gardens – cutback perennial flowers/plants, protect tender plants via mulching/fleece * **protective measures against winter:** protect containerised plants in front-yard gardens with burlap/similar materials, clean clogged drains/hard-surfaced areas prior to first frosts. Contracts for Annual garden maintenance allow for scheduled visits throughout the year. Visits include tidy-ups and a report on seasonal garden health. These contracts enable Birmingham homeowners to enjoy productive/attractive gardens year-round.
