Chris

Meet your gardener

One gardener who knows your garden, and keeps coming back.

The Garden Guy is Chris. He looks after gardens across Bideford, Barnstaple and the villages around them, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise and a service you can rely on.

Some customers call Chris in to clear a garden that has got away from them. Others have him as their regular gardener, looking after the lawn, the weeding, the hedges and new planting. Some do both: a section cleared and replanted first, then routine maintenance after.

And when a garden needs bigger structural changes, Chris can put you in touch with reliable tradespeople from his own network, so you're not left hunting for someone you can trust.

“Taming a jungle into a neat and ordered space where the plants have space to grow.”

Services

From a tidy up to a total transformation.

Hedges, lawns, borders, veg beds, ponds and hard standing, all handled by the same pair of hands. One-off jobs or regular visits.

Regular garden maintenance

A regular gardener you can rely on. Lawns, weeding, planting and hedges looked after on a regular basis, so the garden stays the way you like it.

Garden clearance

Overgrown, neglected or simply got away from you? We clear it back properly and leave the space clear, neat and ready to enjoy again.

Planting & replanting

New plants and trees, or a whole section replanted. Agree a budget and leave the planting to Chris.

Lawn care & weeding

Lawn care and weeding, as a one-off or part of regular visits, so the plants have space to grow.

Hedge trimming

Veg beds, ponds & hard standing

Veg beds, ponds and hard standing areas are taken on with the same enthusiasm as the hedges and borders.

Chris is our regular gardener. He takes on a range of tasks including lawn care, weeding, planting new plants and trees and hedge trimming. Where we have wanted bigger structural changes he has connected us with reliable tradespeople in his network, saving us time and reducing stress. Would recommend.

“Chris has cleared and replanted one section of my cottage garden. We agreed a budget and I left the planting to Chris. Results are excellent. Chris is also doing routine garden maintenance on a regular basis. Would highly recommend.”

“Chris is wonderful, such a nice guy & has completely cleared my garden so effortlessly seemingly, leaving it looking so clear & neat! Such a joy to have the help with it… on my own it would have taken forever & it feels so serene now!”

“Chris sorted out our front terrace after we’d neglected it for a bit (we had a baby!) really pleased with it and it’s completely transformed the space. Thanks so much!”

Katie BrownGoogle, 8 months ago

“Chris is fantastic. He can transform a garden in a thorough and meticulous way, identifying what needs doing and taming a jungle into a neat and ordered space where the plants have space to grow. He is holistic and happy to tackle hedges, veg beds, ponds and hard standing areas with equal enthusiasm. I can't recommend him highly enough!”
