You might think that the end of summer means the end of gardening season but, according to Burkitt’s Gardening & Home Services owner Lisa Burkitt, fall is a great time to get ahead on planning for next year. From pruning your bushes and checking for infestations, to deadheading and splitting your perennials, there’s still so much to be done before the snow flies.
Fortunately, Burkitt’s Havelock-based business is here to help with all of that and more, so you can prepare your front lawn, back patio, or flowerbed to become a stunning garden next spring.
Founded in 2022 and serving both residential and commercial properties in the city and county of Peterborough, Burkitt’s Gardening & Home Services offers both one-time and regularly scheduled garden maintenance including pruning and weeding to sculpting, cleaning, mulching, and more.
Whether you’re looking to restore a garden that’s been left neglected, are moving into a new home and want a new garden to make it yours, or need someone to maintain the work you’ve already put into your garden, Burkitt and her team will get “down and dirty” to make your garden as stunning as they can so you don’t have to.
Since Burkitt believes gardening is an art form and everyone’s garden should be a representation of themselves, her company’s services are flexible and adaptable to the needs and desires or clients.
For those who like to do their own gardening, Burkitt’s Gardening & Home Services offers one-time visits to give your garden a cleanup and overhaul so it’s ready for you to take over again in the spring. For those who prefer to rely on Burkitt’s creative eye and have someone else do all the hard work, her business offers regularly scheduled maintenance that can be customized to ensure your garden looks its best throughout the season.
Having learned to garden at a young age and now with more than 15 years of professional experience, Burkitt knows working in a garden can be a healing form of therapy. For that reason, she welcomes her clients to join her in their garden if they wish, where they can also pick up some tips and tricks from an expert.
As a perennial specialist, Burkitt is always eager to pass on her knowledge. For example, she will help you recognize invasive plants and learn how to properly dig up roots, ensuring you have a healthy and thriving garden you will always want to come home to.
