Gardener in Barby
RHS-qualified gardening in Barby
Garden maintenance, pruning, planting and seasonal care for homes and businesses in Barby.
Barby is home. Paula lives and gardens in the village, which means short travel, flexible visits and a close familiarity with local conditions — the heavy clay, the exposure on higher ground and the wind that comes across open farmland.
Village gardens here are often generous, with mature hedging, established shrubs and long borders that benefit from a gardener who understands how they develop over decades.
Country and village gardens
Mature hedges, orchard trees and long mixed borders are managed on a seasonal plan so the garden looks considered all year rather than only in June.
Local, and close by
Being in the village makes short visits practical — worth knowing for jobs that need a light touch every week or two.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gardening questions, answered
Practical answers about coverage, qualifications, visit frequency and the kinds of gardens Paula works with.
What areas do you cover?
Paula is based in Barby and works across Rugby, Dunchurch, Kilsby, Crick, Hillmorton, Braunston, Daventry and the surrounding Warwickshire and Northamptonshire villages.
Are you an RHS-qualified gardener?
Yes. Paula holds RHS horticultural qualifications and has decades of practical experience caring for private and commercial gardens.
Do you offer regular garden maintenance?
Yes — weekly, fortnightly, monthly and seasonal visits are all available, agreed to suit the garden and the time of year.
Do you work on large gardens?
Yes. Larger private gardens and country properties are a particular speciality, including extensive borders and mature planting.
Do you provide one-off garden tidy-ups?
Yes. One-off tidy-ups, seasonal cut-backs and staged restoration work are all offered, with no obligation to take a regular slot.
Do you offer commercial garden maintenance?
Yes. Offices, pubs, restaurants, care homes, schools, holiday lets and property managers are all catered for under regular scheduled contracts.
Can you help improve an existing garden?
Very much so. Border improvement, replanting, division and considered additions are often the most rewarding work of all.
Can you advise which plants will work in my garden?
Yes. Plant choice is matched to your soil, aspect, exposure and how much maintenance you would like.
How often should a professional gardener visit?
Most established gardens do well with fortnightly visits through the growing season and less frequent visits in winter, but it depends on the size and style of the garden.
Do you provide gardening services throughout the year?
Yes. Winter is when much of the structural pruning, planting and renovation work happens, so gardens are cared for all twelve months.
