Why It Matters and How to Get It Done Right

Winter brings cold snaps, heavy rain, and the occasional storm — all of which can take a toll on your garden if it’s not properly prepared. While your plants might not be in full bloom right now, winter is still a critical time to take care of your outdoor space. At Edge & Cut, we help homeowners get their gardens winter-ready with practical, hands-on services that keep everything tidy, protected, and looking its best.

Here’s how you can winter-proof your garden and avoid bigger problems when spring rolls around.

Clear Out Dead Growth and Debris

Before the worst of winter settles in, clearing out fallen leaves, dead plants, and general debris is a must. Left untouched, these areas can attract pests, encourage mould, and create soggy, compacted soil. A winter tidy-up keeps everything neat and allows water to drain properly — which helps prevent root rot and flooding.

Prune the Right Plants

Some shrubs and trees benefit from being pruned while they’re dormant. Winter pruning helps to shape growth, remove damaged branches, and keep your garden safe from overhanging limbs during windy weather. Our team knows exactly what can be pruned now and what should wait until later in the season.

Secure or Repair Fencing Before the Weather Gets Worse

Winter storms and strong winds are a common cause of fence damage. A quick inspection now can save you a much bigger job down the track. We offer winter fencing repairs and replacements, making sure your boundary stays strong and secure when it’s needed most.

Protect Vulnerable Plants

Not all plants handle frost well. Use fleece, mulch, or cloches to protect delicate plants and root systems from freezing temperatures. Potted plants can be moved to sheltered spots, or grouped together for extra protection. If you’re not sure what needs covering, we’re happy to advise during your garden visit.

Get In Touch

Just because it’s winter doesn’t mean your garden should be left unattended. In fact, the colder months are the perfect time to get on top of essential maintenance, clear out overgrown spaces, and make sure everything is prepped for the season ahead. At Edge & Cut, we offer a range of winter garden services to keep your outdoor areas safe, tidy, and ready for whatever the weather throws at them.

Winter Pruning: Help Your Plants Bounce Back Stronger

Pruning isn’t just for spring. Many shrubs, hedges, and trees benefit from a good winter cut-back. Removing dead or damaged branches during their dormant stage helps reduce the risk of disease, encourages healthy new growth, and keeps your garden looking neat and manageable. Our team knows exactly which plants can be safely pruned in winter and which ones to leave until later.

Garden Tidy Ups and Seasonal Clearances

Wind, rain, and cold snaps can leave your garden looking rough around the edges. We offer winter tidy-up services that include:

● Clearing fallen leaves and debris

● Cutting back overgrowth

● Removing dead plants and weeds

● General winter clean-up of borders, beds, and lawn areas

Whether you need a full garden clearance or just a quick refresh, we’ll tailor the service to suit the size and condition of your space.

Winter Fencing Repairs and Replacements

Winter weather can be tough on fencing. Strong winds, frost, and damp conditions often lead to damage that only gets worse if left unattended. If your fence panels are leaning, loose, or broken, now’s the time to sort it out. We provide reliable fencing repairs and installations to keep your boundary secure and your garden protected through the harshest months.

Pressure Washing for a Safer, Cleaner Garden

Slippery patios, mossy pathways, and grimy decking are common problems during winter. Our pressure washing service helps remove built-up dirt, algae, and mildew, making your outdoor surfaces safer to walk on and restoring their appearance. It’s also a great way to prep your hard landscaping for spring.
