Our services
Residential Garden Management
As many of the gardens we look after span multiple areas, from wide lawns to mature borders and established trees, our work focuses on steady, thoughtful maintenance that supports your landscape over the long term. Larger properties often evolve with the seasons and our team helps guide that natural rhythm so everything feels cared for, balanced and easy to enjoy.
Rather than quick, one‑off tasks, we take a holistic view of your garden, understanding how each planting area, lawn and structural feature connects. This allows us to step in where needed, plan ahead and maintain continuity across the whole landscape.
How we help
Seasonal and Structural Care
We maintain the essential framework of larger gardens – trimming hedges, carrying out formative pruning and keeping extensive lawns in good condition throughout the year.
Tree and Planting Support
With many estate gardens featuring mature trees or new plantings, we carry out tree planting, tree surgery and the necessary staking and mulching to help young plants establish well.
Borders, Soil and Planting Schemes
Well‑managed borders and healthy soil make a noticeable difference in larger landscapes. Our team supports planting schemes, ongoing border maintenance, soil evaluation and the careful handling of quality plants selected to suit your site.
Renovation and Aftercare
Where areas need refreshing or restructuring, we can support garden renovation, carry out site assessments and provide aftercare to help new planting settle in successfully.

Commercial Grounds Management
Nicholsons provides dependable, well‑rounded grounds care for commercial businesses, landmark estates, housing developments and managed environments. We support a wide range of sectors with a steady, practical approach built on experience, integrity and attention to detail.
Our team carries out all core grounds management tasks, including lawn care, hedge cutting, border maintenance, formative and restorative pruning, weeding and tree and plant staking and mulching. We also complete site assessments, quality reviews and soil evaluations so the gardening team assigned to you has a clear understanding of your landscape – its strengths, its needs and any challenges it may present.
Each contract is overseen by a dedicated Head Gardener or Groundsman, who acts as your consistent point of contact on site. They are supported by our office team, who manage scheduling, annual work programmes and resource planning, including plant ordering and logistical support.
Every commercial grounds management contract is tailored to suit the requirements of the site and the people who use it. Across all projects, you’ll see the values we work by at Nicholsons – care, consistency and a genuine respect for the landscapes entrusted to us.
It would be our privilege to help maintain your grounds.

Garden consultancy
For gardens needing rejuvenation, refined planting or a clearer long‑term plan, our consultancy service offers practical, tailored guidance. We can help with refreshing existing borders, creating new planting schemes, improving seasonal interest, solving problematic areas and providing coaching for you or your gardener.
With nearly 20 years at Nicholsons, Jane Ball brings extensive plant knowledge and garden management experience. She works closely with clients to shape cohesive, healthy and enjoyable gardens that grow in harmony with any ongoing maintenance.
Monthly gardening tips
Each month, Andy shares practical, seasonal gardening tips designed to support the changing needs of your garden. His guidance helps you stay ahead of key tasks – from timely pruning and planting ideas to simple reminders that keep lawns, borders and trees in good condition throughout the year.
These monthly tips are created to complement our wider garden management services, offering clear and manageable suggestions suited to larger gardens, established planting and evolving landscapes.
