As we move into the season when lawn pests like chafer grubs and leather jackets become a real nuisance, many homeowners will soon start to notice the tell-tale signs of damage: brown patches of grass, weakened roots, and lawns torn up by birds and other wildlife searching for these pests. For most, this is both frustrating and costly—healthy, green lawns can quickly turn patchy and unsightly when infestations strike. Fortunately, there’s an opportunity for Fullers Landscapin

With hotter, drier summers becoming more common in the UK, choosing plants that can thrive with minimal watering is a smart way to futureproof your garden. Drought-tolerant plants not only save time and effort but also help create beautiful, resilient borders that cope well in dry spells.

July often brings some of the warmest and driest weather of the year in the UK, and while this is great for enjoying time outside, it can put real stress on your garden. With higher temperatures and longer daylight hours, moisture evaporates more quickly from the soil, and plants lose water faster through their leaves. Without adequate watering, this can lead to wilting, stunted growth, or even the loss of some of your favourite plants. Watering your garden regularly and corr
