Gardens in Tipton

Tipton has more miles of canal than most towns its size — it was once called the Venice of the Midlands, without much irony — and that network still runs right through it. Plenty of gardens back onto or sit near a cut, and that proximity shows in how they behave.

Ground near the canals holds moisture, and damp, sheltered boundaries grow fast and green over quickly. Add the town’s mining history and the made ground that came with it, and you get gardens where the lawn and the boundary need quite different attention.

What we see most in Tipton

  • Damp, fast-growing boundaries

    Near the canals, hedges and fences green over and put on growth quickly, so they want looking at more than once a year.

  • Compact plots

    Modest terraced and estate gardens where a short regular visit keeps everything under control.

  • Made ground

    A legacy of mining and industry, so topsoil is often shallow and lawns need help to establish properly.

What we cover here

  • Keeping damp canal-side boundaries cut back before they close in on the garden.
  • Jet washing paths, yards and steps that go green in the shade and damp.
  • Regular mowing and edging on compact plots.
  • Keeping thin lawns over shallow made ground cut sensibly rather than scalped.

Worth knowing locally

If your garden backs onto a canal, the boundary will always be the highest-maintenance part of it. It stays damp, it is sheltered, and growth comes in from the towpath side as well as your own. Two cuts a year on that boundary saves a much bigger job later.

Often shallow topsoil over made ground, which is common across Tipton. It is the ground rather than the grass, so it is worth understanding before spending money on the lawn.
