With over 10 years experience maintaining some of the Southern Lakes most desirable gardens, Henderson Demmer strive for excellence through the practice of continuous improvement
Proudly supporting
With efficiency, sustainability and an artistic eye the cornerstone of our service, we pride ourselves in discretion and been conscientious and reliable.
Henderson Demmer believe in the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen.
Kaizen is a Japanese word meaning continuous improvement. It’s made up of two characters in Japanese: kai, which means ‘change,’ and zen, which means ‘good.’ It’s used to describe a culture where everyone, from the top down, regularly evaluates his or her work and thinks of ways to improve it. The concept is that small steps on a regular basis will lead to large improvements over time.
We believe this is especially relevant to gardening. By putting in the right steps and processes for controlling the health of your garden, you will see large improvements in the look and feel of your outdoor environment.
Our Services
Our Services
General Maintenance
We offer a full range of gardening services from weed control to mowing, strimming and pruning to pond maintenance. We develop a programme that best represents you and your garden needs.
Lawn Aeration
A layer of compacted soil can make a significant difference in the health and beauty of your lawn. Aeration creates holes down into the soil to alleviate compaction so air, water and nutrients can reach the roots.
De-thatching
Thatch is the dense, fibrous layer of living and dead grass shoots, stems, leaves and roots that accumulates between the green vegetation and the soil surface. A thick thatch layer may block the penetration of water and nutrients into the soil.
General fertilising
There are three main macronutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Understanding what your lawn or plants require is crucial to choosing the right balance of NPK for the best results.
Soil Conditioning
Soil pH affects the availability of nutrients and minerals in the soil, as well as how well a plant can absorb and regulate these materials. A very high or very low soil pH may lead to poor plant growth.
Pest and Disease control and prevention
Early identification of disease and pests means the correct control can be used to rectify. Proper preventative measures will help the health of your garden
Pruning
Correct pruning technique is crucial for the health of your plants. Knowledge and timing is key to getting the best results.
Planting
It’s more than digging a hole. Creating the right environment for a plant to thrive in is everything.
Irrigation installation
Henderson Demmer has extensive experience in installing and upgrading irrigation systems. Understanding how different plants and lawns feed is key to having the right irrigation installed.
