About the area
Working in Sanquhar
Sanquhar is a historic royal burgh in Upper Nithsdale, surrounded by hill farms and open countryside. Its higher, more exposed location means gardens and boundaries here often face tougher weather conditions.
Around Sanquhar we work on townhouses, hill farms, exposed rural smallholdings, on one-off jobs and regular visits alike. We're based in Dumfries, so Sanquhar 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 Sanquhar
Properties around Kirkconnel and Kelloholm tend to have more ground to cover, bigger gardens, paddocks, boundary areas, so a visit here usually takes longer than a typical town garden. It's a higher, more exposed spot, so we factor the wind and weather into how we plan the visit.
Out around Kelloholm and Wanlockhead the lawns are often bigger, sometimes with rough grass or paddock alongside, so we bring heavier equipment for those jobs.
Farms and smallholdings around Wanlockhead and Thornhill often have long runs of boundary hedge on top of the garden hedges, so we bring the right kit for the bigger jobs.
Around Thornhill and Kirkconnel the clearances tend to be bigger, years of undergrowth, old materials, that sort of thing.
