FEN VILLAGES
Gardener in Stretham
ELawnCare covers Stretham on the fen edge north of Cambridge, along the route toward Ely. Gardens here often sit on heavier, damper soil typical of the fen villages, and the standard maintenance and renewal treatments are chosen with that in mind.
Mowing, strimming, hedges, weeding, clearances and landscaping are all available, with no callout charge within 8 miles.

Stretham garden maintenance
Fen-edge gardens often grow grass faster than drier parts of Cambridgeshire during wet spells, which can mean fortnightly mowing needs shortening to weekly in the peak of the growing season to avoid removing too much blade at once.
Hedges and boundary planting are trimmed two or three times a year, and hand weeding keeps beds and paths clear where damper soil favours weed growth.
Lawn treatment on fen soil
Aeration is particularly valuable on the heavier, wetter soils common around Stretham, since compacted, poorly drained ground is more likely here than on lighter Cambridge soils. The renewal package at £200 per 100m² addresses this directly.
