HOLIDAY COTTAGES & SECOND HOMES People flock to the Lake District in their thousands each year for holidays and to break from the stresses of town/city life. Why? Because it is an area of outstanding natural beauty, that is simply unrivalled. It's the reason why Richard, the proprietor of Gardens & Grounds, chose this area in which to live and work and, as you are reading this page, it is likely to be the same reason why you bought your second home/holiday cottage here. When you or your holiday tenants come to your property, it is a priority to have a beautifully kept garden to relax in. Caring for the gardens of holiday homes is very much a speciality of ours and we are commissioned by all of the local letting agencies. We work autonomously, using professional equipment without need of electricity supply. Furthermore, we will maintain a close eye on the property itself and will telephone you or your letting agent if there are any issues that may need your attention, such as a leaking gutter, broken window or loose slate. We are able to work directly with you or through your letting agent, whichever method you prefer. Since our reputation is built on service, our staff are as conscientious and well mannered as they are knowledgeable and experienced. Gardens & Grounds provides a wholly dependable and professional service you can trust in. Please visit our Garden Maintenance page for more information.
