Gardens and drives in Watford
Smaller town gardens west of Bushey. Shared access, and patios that have to do several jobs.
Nearer the town centre the gardens shrink. Paving, one planter and a clear route usually do more than forcing a lawn into a space that will not hold it.
The side gate decides whether a machine comes. If a mini digger will not pass, spoil leaves by hand or through the front. That is settled before a date is booked.
Design, hard landscaping, maintenance and tree surgery all cover Watford. Inside the borough, Watford Borough Council is who to ask about a protected tree.
