About the area
Working in Portpatrick
Portpatrick is a small coastal village overlooking the Irish Sea, known for its harbour and cliffside setting. Strong sea winds here mean hedges, fences and paintwork all take more of a battering than inland properties.
Around Portpatrick we work on harbourside cottages, cliffside properties, nearby rural smallholdings, on one-off jobs and regular visits alike. We're based in Dumfries, so Portpatrick 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 Portpatrick
Being this close to the coast, gardens around Portpatrick 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.
Sea winds around Portpatrick 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 Leswalt can leave hedges looking rough, so we keep an eye out for storm damage as well as the regular trim.
Gardens near Stranraer grow back fast in the mild, damp coastal air, so a neglected one can need more work than it looks.
