August is one of the busiest months in the garden. While many plants are still thriving, prolonged warm weather and occasional heavy downpours can quickly take their toll if your garden isn’t properly maintained.

At CG Garden Services, we help homeowners across Eastbourne, Polegate, Hailsham, Stone Cross, Pevensey, Langney and the surrounding East Sussex area keep their gardens healthy, tidy and looking their very best throughout the summer.

Whether you need regular garden maintenance, hedge cutting, lawn care, fence repairs or patio cleaning, our experienced team is here to help.

Top Garden Jobs for August:

Keep Your Lawn Healthy

Lawns can suffer during long periods of hot weather. Rather than cutting the grass very short, raise your mower blades slightly to help protect the roots and retain moisture.

If rain is scarce, water deeply once or twice a week rather than little and often. This encourages deeper root growth and creates a healthier lawn.

Our professional lawn maintenance service can help restore tired lawns and keep them looking lush throughout the growing season.

Regular Hedge Trimming

August is an excellent time to give many hedges their final trim before autumn. Regular trimming keeps hedges neat, healthy and encourages dense growth.

CG Garden Services offers professional hedge cutting for all sizes of gardens using commercial-grade equipment, leaving your property looking smart and tidy.

Keep Borders Weed Free

Warm weather means weeds grow incredibly quickly. Removing them before they flower prevents thousands of seeds spreading around your garden.

Regular weeding also allows your plants to receive more water and nutrients.

If you’re struggling to keep on top of garden maintenance, we offer one-off tidy-ups and regular maintenance visits throughout Eastbourne and the surrounding areas.

Water Plants Correctly

Water early in the morning or later in the evening to minimise evaporation.

Container plants, hanging baskets and newly planted shrubs often require daily watering during hot spells.

Adding mulch around plants also helps lock moisture into the soil while reducing weed growth.

Deadhead Summer Flowers

Removing faded flowers encourages many plants to continue flowering well into autumn.

Popular plants including roses, dahlias and geraniums all benefit from regular deadheading throughout August.

Check Fences and Gates

Summer winds and drying timber can expose weak fence panels or loose gate posts.

Now is the ideal time to repair or replace damaged fencing before autumn weather arrives.

CG Garden Services provides professional:

• Fence repairs

• New fence installations

• Garden gate repairs

• Replacement gates

• Wooden fencing maintenance

Pressure Wash Patios and Driveways

Summer is perfect for restoring patios, paths and driveways.

Over time, dirt, algae and moss build up, making surfaces slippery and reducing kerb appeal.

Our professional pressure washing service leaves patios, block paving and driveways looking fresh, clean and ready to enjoy during the remaining summer months.

Prune Summer Shrubs

Many summer-flowering shrubs benefit from light pruning once flowering has finished.

Removing dead or damaged growth keeps plants healthy and encourages strong growth for next year.

If you’re unsure what should or shouldn’t be pruned, we’re always happy to help.
