Choosing the Right Garden Estate Management Company

In the words of Home & Garden ‘gardening is not an inherent knowledge that we all magically have’ and sometimes, we need to hire professionals who can remove this challenge from us. A professional gardening team will be able to help you with everything from designing your space, to year-round maintenance. In this article, we will be exploring how you can choose the right large garden or garden estate management company for your property.

Horticultural Expertise

Managing a large outdoor garden space takes skills and expertise, not to mention, the horticultural knowledge that comes with it. Understanding how to make trees, plants, and flowers thrive is something only a professional gardener can bring to your estate. Before choosing your long-term gardening team, we would recommend looking for one with experienced horticulturists. A well-versed horticulturist will understand the unique needs of various plant species, soil types, and microclimates within your garden.

Year-Round Maintenance Services

Maintenance of large estates can be a daunting task – with so much land, this can seem overwhelming for some. Regular maintenance keeps our garden’s in tip top shape year round and also readies our outdoor space for the thriving seasons of spring and summer. From lawn care to seasonal pruning, a gardener will understand how much time this will take.

Always seek a gardening team that is fully equipped to handle all aspects of your maintenance needs. Whether it’s including an irrigation system, keeping pests at bay or knowing the best fertiliser to use for your plants, always take extra time to select your gardening team based on their availability for ongoing maintenance services. 

Tidying Up Your Garden Space

One of the key elements of garden management is tidying up the space. Many people with large gardens struggle to dispose of their green waste, as this can be a major task in itself. Responsible gardeners will understand that removing unwanted green waste is an essential part of their role. Just as important as recycling plastic or glass, getting rid of green waste in the correct way is vital. Whether we have made the waste or it is already there, our team is always happy to clear it away for you. 

Designing Your Large Garden Estate

Some gardening companies don’t offer design as one of their key services, however, here at BZ Gardens, we understand that a well-designed garden facilitates a beautiful, well-cared for garden. A keen eye for design is essential when it comes to maintaining that visual appeal of your garden estate. 

Good design is all about ‘mastering the hugely different dimensions that there are in any garden: space, scale, texture, harmony, colour, structure, light, dark, charm, strength, sense of place, romance, history and so on’. By choosing a gardening company who can also help you design your space will allow them to truly understand your garden and how you would like it to look. A professional team who have also assisted you in the planning stages of your garden design can create a long-term relationship with your space and can have it thriving for all 12 months of the year.

Custom Greenery Care

Here at BZ Gardens, we understand that no two gardens are the same. As well as the layout being different, there can be dissimilar greenery and soil. This means that gardens often require a tailored, more custom approach to gardening. 

Your gardening team should be able to offer a plan specific to your outdoor spaces’ needs, taking into consideration the general size, shape and amount of land you have available. For example, when operating on a large estate, there can be a lot of plants to attend too and maintain. An expert team will be able to divide their time accordingly and work in the most efficient manner. 

Expert Pest and Disease Management

Pests and diseases can be the main killers of a perfectly lush garden. It’s important to fight these things early on and to keep control of your garden – no matter the season. Your gardening team will be able to identify vermin and unwanted pests before they take hold of your outdoor space. They should also be able to effectively remove these unwelcome visitors, as to not affect your plants ongoing. Also, keeping the planet in mind, many gardening professionals nowadays are utilising green or environmentally-friendly methods wherever they are. 

Regular Meetings With Clients 

As local gardeners, we understand what a priority your gardens are. Taking care of large estates can be time-consuming, but they are also part of your home. We will regularly report back to you with our plans and provide transparent communication throughout working with you. We will also bring your attention to any issues that we discover whilst gardening and keep you informed about your plant’s health. Regular reporting and meetings with clients allows us to do the best job possible when taking care of your garden. 

Flexibility and Adaptability

Nearly all gardeners work outside, meaning that we often have to face any and all weather. No matter what, a professional gardening team should show up and prioritise your outdoor space. The right management team should be able to demonstrate a degree of flexibility and adaptability in responding to changing seasons and unpredictable weather conditions that the UK has to offer. 

Passion for Plants and Landscapes

Finally, your gardening team should always be passionate about their work. Our team here at BZ Gardens are genuinely enthusiastic about our work, and we love helping our clients not only enhance the beauty of their large estate gardens, but also maintain and preserve it. We are always pitching new ideas and looking at ways to improve your landscape, because we all truly love our craft.
