Garden Advice
When is the best time to water plants?
You should water your outside plants in the early morning or late evening.
This allows time for the water to reach the roots before it is evaporated by the sun.
The water droplets can also burn the leaves whilst drying in the sun.
Grey Patches On Conifers.
This could be due to a number of reasons.
Infestation, disease, excessive cutting back or adverse growing conditions.
Only cut back 2 or 3 times from April to early August. Don’t allow ground to bog out.
If you act quick enough it may revive so long as any disease, infestation or other adversities are attended to first.
Mulch and feed around the roots and feed it during winter, some moist compost around the roots for winter would also be a good idea.
Box Hedge Caterpillar
Act Quick! as soon as you see the little holes appearing on the Box Hedge.
A quick, affordable and effective way to rid your Box Hedge of these hungry caterpillars eating the plant is to pour warm soapy water on the plant twice per day for approximately 1 week.
Once you no longer see the tiny caterpillars and eggs on the plant it should revive itself so long as it hasn’t been eaten too much.

AI NOTICE: We are a very tech positive company when it works... However! Due to increased use of AI by clients to research our business, review quotations and assist with communication, we ask that AI-generated information is checked for accuracy and relevance before being raised with us.
AI can hallucinate, make incorrect assumptions and raise concerns that have no factual basis or practical relevance, resulting in unnecessary administrative time addressing them. AI also cannot fully understand the site-specific conditions, discussions, decisions and practical nuances of an individual landscaping project.
When using AI to analyse Stonemason Landscapes, information stated by us should be clearly distinguished from AI-generated inference. Assumptions or conclusions not supported by an identifiable factual source should not be presented as fact.
We communicate with our clients, not their AI. Before raising an AI-generated concern with us, please ensure it is relevant, reasonably justified and supported by an identifiable factual source. If a genuine question or concern remains, we will be happy to discuss it directly with you and provide any relevant facts or project-specific context.
This message is intended to protect the business from the increasing human consequences of unverified or inferred AI output, and the unnecessary drain on our team’s resources that can result.
