Gardener in Longstanton
ELawnCare covers Longstanton on a regular route, along with the newer developments around Northstowe nearby. Gardens here range from established plots on the older village streets to newly landscaped gardens on recently built homes, both of which are routine work.
All core services are available: mowing, strimming, hedges, hand weeding, clearances and landscaping including turfing and fencing. No callout charge within 8 miles, and every visit is carried out by the owner rather than a rotating crew.

What Longstanton gardens need
Newer builds around Longstanton and Northstowe often come with a small turfed lawn and young boundary planting that needs establishing correctly in the first year or two. Fortnightly mowing keeps a new lawn thickening properly, and light hand weeding around new beds stops weeds getting a foothold before the planting fills in.
Older village gardens tend to have more established hedges and mature lawns that respond well to the standard maintenance rhythm: fortnightly cuts through the season, hedges trimmed two or three times a year.
Getting to Longstanton
Longstanton sits comfortably within the free callout radius from central Cambridge. Beyond 8 miles a £25 flat travel charge or 50p per mile applies, whichever suits better, agreed before any booking is confirmed.
