The growing seasons nearly at an end but there are still jobs to be done i have recently passed a city and guilds in the safe use of pesticides including knapsack spraying weeds at Reaseheath College so i can now provide that service to customers in a safe and controlled way and be compliant with the law in regards to the safe use of chemicals.
I can now do cleaning of patios and decking with the use of a jet washer my services with a chainsaw also seems to be in demand.
The recent wet weather as prevented me to carry out lawn maintenance but no doubt the windy weather will help clear away the rain clouds for a short while so still very busy and with the autumn digging to be done work on allotments could also pick up and of course it’s not all gardening lots of around the home tasks to be undertaken.
