Gardeners in St Annes, on the coast and inland

St Annes gardens sit on light, sandy soil close to the sea, which makes for fast drainage, thirsty lawns and borders that need mulching to hold any moisture at all. We plan visits around that rather than fighting it.

Gardening in St Annes, in practice

The sandy ground here is the defining factor. Lawns green up quickly after rain but thin and brown in a dry spell, so cutting a little higher through summer and feeding at the right points makes a visible difference. Borders benefit hugely from mulch, which holds water and keeps weeds down between visits.

Closer to the front, wind is the second factor. Exposed hedging and taller shrubs take the brunt of it, so we shape boundaries to reduce wind loading and suggest hardier, coast-tolerant planting where something has repeatedly failed in the same spot.

We cover the full spread of St Annes property — bungalow gardens with compact lawns, family homes inland with larger plots, and let properties near the front that need to look right through the season. Short regular visits suit most of them better than occasional big tidy-ups.
