About the area
Working in Whithorn
Whithorn is a historic town on the Machars peninsula, close to the coast and surrounded by farmland. Its exposed, rural setting means outdoor spaces here often need resilient, weather-hardy upkeep.
Around Whithorn we work on village properties, farms on the Machars peninsula, coastal smallholdings, on one-off jobs and regular visits alike. We're based in Dumfries, so Whithorn 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 Whithorn
Being this close to the coast, gardens around Whithorn 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. A lot of the properties here are older or listed, so we're mindful working around period features.
Sea winds around Whithorn 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 Port William can leave hedges looking rough, so we keep an eye out for storm damage as well as the regular trim.
Gardens near Isle of Whithorn grow back fast in the mild, damp coastal air, so a neglected one can need more work than it looks.
