Glasgow's newest and largest hospital has been named the ‘Queen Elizabeth University Hospital’ after Her Majesty the Queen officially opened the record-breaking facility in July 2015. A fabulous expanse of Tobermore’s permeable Hydropave Sienna Duo a
The new social housing scheme at Kennishead Road in Glasgow, constructed by McKenzie Construction for Glasgow Housing Association, has given the area an impressive transformation with the help of Tobermore.
As well as the newly furnished homes, the gr
Communities across the Glasgow area are being encouraged to head outdoors, get active and enjoy a new network of 13 Commonwealth Woods.
A legacy project of the 2014 Commonwealth Games, the network includes woods that are well-established, boasting an
I have noticed a number of new ground maintenance start up businesses around Glasgow this season, as always happens at the start of a new growing season.
2013 must be a particularly difficult year to try and start such a company though due to the late
I have been operating for over 2 years now and things have gone well. I have (perhaps predictably) got a bit obsessed with running this business and am looking to take things a step further, to work with more clients on bigger jobs and to increase em
I have been up since 6am, unable to sleep due to the intense winds battering the landscape. I have been listening to people's bins being blown over, bottles flying along the road, branches cracking, chimneys howling (not falling, thankfully) and gree
We have had a busy month, the busiest so far, and have spent some time visiting small residential sites in Edinburgh, Grangemouth and Stirling to provide quotations for ground maintenance work. Many of these sites have had very basic care but moss on
It's great looking out of the window and seeing snow on the ground. North Glasgow has had two spells of snow so far, but neither has been long lived.
Our work recently has included fence repairs after the storms last week, plus turfing, clearing up de

I would like to service all of my equipment this winter and have been planning it for a short while now. But what problems might I come across?
I did a basic van service last week -
September is proving to be the busiest month yet for Dan Frazer Gardening. It seems that people around Glasgow are very proud of their lawns and want cutting, scarifying, moss and weed treatment and all sorts of other work done to keep them looking p
The wind and rain may put some people off but Dan Frazer Gardening is out every day mowing, trimming, and at this time of year, scarifying and treating moss in lawns all over central Scotland.
Our method is a thorough one and greatly benefits the law

"Not seen much blight recently, but box is a busted flush round here thanks to box moth. Spraying kills some caterpillars, but there are always more! I think it has several breeding cycles per year."
"Theres an app called '@Seek' by inaturalist that's very good for identifying weeds/ wildflowers."
"I've found Tryclpyr ( available as Garlon, Blaster.....) the most effective solution for ground elder. Killed large establish areas of it always with one application. "
"Looks like weed killer or scorched by fertiliser that hasn't been watered in"
"have they hosed it off using a hose pipe that has been laying out in the sun? At this time of year a hosepipe containing sitting water before the fresh stuff comes through can get pretty hot"
"Indeed, I was replying to Oliver who said it was the worst year he'd known for caterpillar."
"Box blit minimal, some frost damage.
Starting to see box Wood caterpillar on the west Berkshire/Hampshire boarder. Got all my customers putting out pheromone traps and spraying with nematodes.
Time to give up on box now me thinks."

"It's all caterpillar for us, not one customer has avoided it even though we spray, spray, spray although very minor for us."
"You can dig out all the roots by hand. Very time consuming and will take a couple of years to get rid. Glyphospate is more efficient.
I suggest you get yourself a book on wild flowers to help you identify weeds.

" I'm thinking someone applied lawn fertlzer by hand very badly."
"That looks like box moth caterpillar not blight?"
"as Billy and Peter say but dont expect one treatment to get rid of it you might have to give it four or five goes over a coupple of years "
" it lookes very dry some of the plants at the side look like they could have been weed killed and all way round the edge a good water and a high nitrogen feed will sort the red thred out if that is what it is "
"Saw this one today, wasn't like that last week!"
