Ready for Spring

Get ready for Spring!

Be ready for spring! It may still be cold outside so this is the perfect time to start planning your garden. We call this armchair gardening! Even if you are not sure what you want, from the comfort of your chair you can browse through catalogues and magazines for ideas. If you think this is too early – think again.

Special Talents

If you do not have a budget for a complete overhaul you can choose to have a garden plan drawn up professionally. A Garden Designer will be able to help you make the most of your garden. They really do have special talents together with experience and a know-how that the rest of us would love to have but don’t!

Garden Design Centre

If you are thinking of having your garden redesigned this year, why don’t you call into our Garden Centre in Titchfield – just off Junction 9 of the M27. So easy peasy to get to. We have built a range of Show Gardens to give you ideas and inspiration. Each garden has features that you can incorporate into any style of garden – whether you have a town, country or traditional garden.

We try not to blow our own trumpet too much but Hambrooks have won more awards over the years than we care to mention!

Ideas for getting ready for Spring

Officially the start of Spring is in March; it varies slightly each year (between the 19th, 20th and 21st) depending of Leap Years and the Earth’s rotation around the Sun. However, when Spring actually starts in our gardens really depends on the weather; in recent years, we seem to have had some particularly cold snaps in early March have held everything back by a few weeks (and potentially damaged delicate blossoms, so be aware!).

Getting our gardens ready for Spring is mostly what the winter months are about. If you’d like a summary of the key jobs to do in your garden in January, February and March, click each month to read more.

Two popular flowers which herald Spring for many of us are Snowdrops and Primroses. Click on each to read a little more about them.

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say how delighted I am with my new garden.

Jon, my designer, listened to my ideas and delivered on everything I asked for. I wanted something different to any garden I’d had before, no lawn, no landscaping but packed with plants. He designed such a lovely secret garden, around a statement tree. And I have to commend him for his unwavering patience! I changed my mind a hundred times but never did he give me the impression that he was losing patience with my endless indecision. And my confidence in him led me to place an order for over £10k.

My landscaping team, Blade and Tony, were exceptional, from their work ethic, skill and knowledge, to the way they dealt with me, the customer. My standards are very high and I couldn’t fault them.

All in all, a very professional team of people. And it showed that they all care. I’m over the moon with the finished result. I will send you a before and after photo. Thank you so much.

A delighted customer.

My front garden has been transformed by Andy and Bradley who both worked incredibly hard and I am delighted with the result. Andy had the vision and skill to turn my idea into reality and I can't thank him enough.

We recently had our garden landscaped by Hambrooks and I just wanted to pass on my thanks, not just for the outcome - which is superb - but for the professionalism of all the staff involved on the job who are all a credit to you company. Mike, Dave, Les and Adam.

I just wanted to let you know how delighted I am with my new garden. Melanie was a delight to work with and the ideas she had have worked perfectly. Also Sheldon laid the patio beautifully and him and Dave were a pleaseure to have at my house. Quiet workers and polite.

I would like to say how delighted we are with the work carried out. Mel, Paul and Tony all worked very hard, they totally took on board the specific need relating to safety as well as the general garden issues. Paul and Tony were excellent at consulting and discussing with me what I felt best in terms of the brief and adjusting if and as necessary, constantly pleasant and polite to deal with. Mel had picked up on particular issues from the first consultation and offered valuable advice. The outcome means a great deal less worry for me going forward.
Altogether a very positive experience and outcome which I would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Dom and Adam's work (garden maintenance) is greatly appreciated. Dom really listened to everything we discussed very carefully and went out of his way to understand and then act upon that discussion. We are extremely pleased with the work done - both to the pond and pyracantha.

We have been coming to Hambrooks for years and it's our favourite garden centre because of its friendly helpful staff and a great selection of plants and trees and the garden design ideas.

“We wanted to write and say how pleased we are with our low maintenance garden makeover. We are very impressed with the attitude of your staff who were prepared to listen to our requirements. Your team John and Rick brushed up and left everything tidy at the end of the day. We now have a garden we can manage and it looks great. THANK YOU HAMBROOKS.”

“Dear Josh & Mike We just want to say you both did a brilliant job of designing our garden along with the guys who did the work who were amazing. A few weeks on its looks even better now some of the plants are blooming. Thank you!!”

Mr & Mrs Gazzard, Winchester July 2019

“To James, John & Rikki. Thank you so much, we are delighted with our new garden. We really appreciate the attention to detail, the high quality workmanship and the standard of the finished project. We are amazed at how John & Rikki resolved the difficulties of the site and by the quality of their craftmanship.
