Garden maintenance services in Cornwall

Juniper Gardens provides professional garden maintenance across mid and west Cornwall, shaped to the needs, character, and pace of each individual garden.

Core work includes hedge cutting, lawn care, and the careful pruning of shrubs, climbers, and trees, timed to suit growth and flowering cycles. Seasonal border work, including weeding and editing. Soil improvement through mulching and organic matter. And ongoing observation — identifying pest, disease, or stress issues early.

Pruning, plant composition, and the ongoing curation of the garden are approached with care and judgement. Each decision is made in response to the plant, its setting, and the wider structure of the garden — shaping growth, refining balance, and allowing the space to develop with clarity over time.

Beyond the essentials, Juniper Gardens offers expert advice and practical management for soil health, fruit tree pruning, ecological and wildlife gardening, and adapting gardens to the changing conditions Cornwall increasingly faces. All work is carried out with battery equipment where appropriate, with chemical inputs kept to an absolute minimum, and with care for the long-term ecological health of each garden.

Garden maintenance Cornwall — frequently asked questions

How much does a gardener cost in Cornwall?

Pricing reflects professional horticultural knowledge, careful plant management, and long-term garden health. Ongoing maintenance is typically more cost-effective than occasional visits, especially for established or high-value gardens.

What areas of Cornwall do you cover?

Mid and west Cornwall — Truro, Falmouth, Feock, St Agnes, Redruth, Illogan, St Ives, Newquay, and surrounding villages and areas.

Do you maintain holiday homes and second properties?

Yes. Regular garden maintenance for holiday homes across Cornwall, including seasonal care, lawn and hedge management, and keeping gardens presentable between guest stays.

Do you offer ecological and wildlife-friendly garden maintenance?

Yes. Ecological thinking is integrated into all maintenance work. For clients wanting a more explicitly wildlife-focused approach, a dedicated ecological and wildlife gardening service is available.

What makes Juniper Gardens different from a general gardener?

Every decision is guided by formal horticultural training to RHS MHort level and eighteen years of experience across Cornwall. The focus is on long-term plant health, structure, and ecological balance — not surface-level tidying.

Is regular maintenance better than one-off visits?

In almost all cases, yes. Gardens managed consistently by someone who knows them well improve in a way that occasional visits cannot produce. The relationship between a good gardener and a well-managed garden compounds in value over seasons and years.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Juniper Gardens is fully insured and operates professionally and discretely on every site.
