CB3 CASTLE
Gardener in Castle, Cambridge
ELawnCare covers the Castle area of Cambridge on regular rounds. From the streets around Castle Mound and Shire Hall through to the properties along Huntingdon Road and Madingley Road. No callout charge, same person every visit.
The Castle ward is a mix of older period properties with character gardens and modern homes with more straightforward plots. Both benefit from consistent attention through the year, and all services are available at published rates.

Why regular visits work
A fortnightly routine from March to October keeps the garden in shape without heavy bills. One-off rescue jobs cost more than prevention. The 10% monthly discount makes regular care cheaper than ad-hoc bookings over a full year.
