About the area
Working in Kirkcudbright
Kirkcudbright is a historic harbour town on the River Dee, known for its artists' colony and colourful high street. Coastal conditions and older properties here mean outdoor spaces often need a careful, tidy finish.
Around Kirkcudbright we work on harbourside townhouses, period properties, riverside cottages, on one-off jobs and regular visits alike. We're based in Dumfries, so Kirkcudbright and the villages around it are a normal run for us rather than a trip out of the way.

What we tend to see in Kirkcudbright
Being this close to the coast, gardens around Kirkcudbright deal with a fair bit of salt and wind, so we pay extra attention to planting and clean-up after a rough spell of weather. Being by the river, the ground here tends to stay damper and the growth comes on faster than inland.
Sea winds around Kirkcudbright do affect how the grass grows, so we adjust the cutting height and how often we come out.
Salt air and wind off the coast near Borgue can leave hedges looking rough, so we keep an eye out for storm damage as well as the regular trim.
Gardens near Gatehouse of Fleet grow back fast in the mild, damp coastal air, so a neglected one can need more work than it looks.
