Working in Wigtown
Wigtown, Scotland's National Book Town, sits near Wigtown Bay with a mix of town properties and surrounding farmland. Coastal weather and a rural setting both come into play when maintaining gardens here.
Around Wigtown we work on town centre properties, farms near Wigtown Bay, rural smallholdings, on one-off jobs and regular visits alike. We're based in Dumfries, so Wigtown 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 Wigtown
Being this close to the coast, gardens around Wigtown 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 Wigtown 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 Garlieston can leave hedges looking rough, so we keep an eye out for storm damage as well as the regular trim.
Gardens near Creetown grow back fast in the mild, damp coastal air, so a neglected one can need more work than it looks.
