Garden maintenance for Fleetwood's exposed gardens

Fleetwood gardens work harder than most. Wind comes in off the estuary and the sea from two sides, hedging takes a constant battering and lawns get sand-blown in a dry spell. Maintenance here is about choosing the right approach and repeating it.

Gardening in Fleetwood, in practice

Exposure shapes everything. Hedges lean inland and brown off on the seaward face, so they need shaping to cut wind loading rather than being trimmed flat and left to burn. Where planting has failed twice in the same position, it is usually the wrong plant for the spot, and we will say so.

Lawns on this stretch drain fast and can thin badly in summer. Cutting a touch higher, feeding at sensible points in the year and overseeding worn areas keeps grass covering the ground, which in turn keeps weeds out and holds moisture in.

There is plenty of let and second-home property in Fleetwood, and those gardens need to look right through the season without the owner being on hand. A fixed schedule with waste removed every visit and a quick note if anything needs attention covers that well.
