Creating a stunning garden is only half the job — keeping it beautiful throughout the year is where the real magic happens. At Wicked Gardens, we don’t just design and build bespoke outdoor spaces across Lewisham — we help you care for them too.

From frosty mornings to sizzling summer days, each season brings its own set of gardening challenges and opportunities. Here’s how to keep your garden in top condition, no matter the month.

🌱 Spring: A Fresh Start

Spring is the season of growth. It’s time to wake your garden up from winter and get it prepped for the months ahead.

Key tasks:

• Prune shrubs and trees to encourage new growth

• Plant hardy annuals and summer bulbs

• Feed and mow your lawn (start light and increase gradually)

• Top up compost and mulch beds to retain moisture

• Clean patios and garden furniture ready for use

At Wicked Gardens, we can also help refresh your space with new borders, paths, or a complete spring makeover.

☀️ Summer: Bloom and Enjoy

Summer is when your garden is in full swing. With the right care, it’ll be a show-stopping extension of your home.

Key tasks:

• Water early in the morning or evening to prevent evaporation

• Deadhead flowers to prolong blooms

• Regularly mow and feed your lawn

• Check for pests and treat naturally where possible

• Trim hedges and shape topiary

This is the perfect season for entertaining, so we can help you install shaded seating areas, pergolas, or even outdoor kitchens.

🍂 Autumn: Prepare and Protect

Autumn is all about clearing, cutting back, and preparing your garden for the colder months.

Key tasks:

• Rake and compost fallen leaves

• Prune perennials and remove dead growth

• Plant spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils and tulips

• Protect delicate plants with fleece or move them indoors

• Clean out gutters, beds, and water features

Our garden maintenance services in Lewisham include full autumn tidy-ups to make the transition into winter seamless.

❄️ Winter: Rest, Plan, and Protect

Your garden may be quieter in winter, but that doesn’t mean it should be neglected.

Key tasks:

• Protect exposed plants with mulch or covers

• Keep paths and patios clear of ice and debris

• Prune deciduous trees while dormant

• Feed the birds — they’ll help control pests later on!

• Plan your garden upgrades for spring

Wicked Gardens offers winter consultations so we can design your new features while the garden rests, ready to spring into action come March.
