Maintenance Activities

Maintaining substantial gardens takes dedication, organisation, commitment and management. All of the A.S. Gardens team use the latest phone app technology to ensure that every task and job is undertaken at each property at the correct time using the correct products and treatments.

Oversight of maintenance activities is undertaken monthly by senior management to ensure that gardens are consistently managed to ensure their maximum floral potential.
