As a local gardener, there’s nothing more satisfying than restoring a well-loved garden space to its former glory. Our latest project took us to the picturesque village of Penselwood, located right where Somerset, Dorset, and Wiltshire meet.
The Project
The focus of this job was a large patio that had become discoloured and slippery due to moss, algae, and general weathering — a common issue in shady garden areas, especially in our damp local climate. Whether you’re in Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Mere, or Wincanton, you’ve probably seen similar issues in your own garden.
Using professional-grade power washing equipment, we carefully cleaned the surface, removing years of grime while protecting the surrounding plants and landscaping. The results were immediate and dramatic — the natural colour and texture came through beautifully, completely transforming the space.






Why It Matters
For anyone who enjoys gardening or spending time outside, having a clean, safe patio makes a huge difference. As a local gardener serving areas across Dorset, Somerset, and Wiltshire, we often recommend regular power washing as part of general garden maintenance. It’s an affordable way to maintain the value, safety, and visual appeal of your outdoor spaces.
If your patio, decking, or driveway in Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Wincanton, or the surrounding areas could use some care, we’re here to help. We offer professional power washing and garden maintenance services tailored to your specific needs.
