What Ben does

Practical gardening for homes around North Petherton and Bridgwater: the regular jobs that keep a garden looking cared for, and the bigger tidy-ups when it has got away from you.

  1. Hedges trimmed and shaped

    For regulars and one-offs

    Regular visits to keep a hedge neat and in shape, every few months for the customers who have us back.

  2. Front garden makeovers

    Gravel, tidy-ups, fresh starts

    Front gardens tidied up and given a fresh look, like a recent one we laid to gravel. Tell us what bothers you about yours and we'll talk it through.

  3. Overgrown gardens taken in hand

    Ben sees the job first

    Gardens that have got away from you, however rough they look. Ben comes out to see the job first, then gets stuck in, and has been known to work a Sunday to beat the weather.

  4. Ongoing garden care

    Season after season

    Some customers have had us looking after their gardens for years, building them up a season at a time. If you've got plans for your garden, we're happy to help you get there.

  5. Lawn care advice

    Seasonal know-how

    Ben shares practical lawn tips, like when to treat for leatherjackets. If your lawn is struggling, ask him about it while he's there.

A tip from Ben

“It’s that time of year again, if you’re noticing an abundance of crane flies it’s worth a simple application of nematodes whilst the temperatures and moisture levels are ideal to protect your lawns from leatherjackets!”

Ben Taylor, October 2026

If your lawn is looking patchy, ask Ben about it when he's round.

So pleased I found Ben. He was v busy with work but still made the effort to come out and view before he committed. He then made the decision to do my garden on a Sunday before the weather changed! Cannot thank him enough. The garden was in a dire state and he tackled it with gusto. Truly superb. Pleased I have found someone reliable and who cares about and loves, his job.

Susan Bright, Google review

Would highly recommend Ben if you need any gardening services. He came to to do the job very quickly from my first initial enquiry and kept me up to date on everything.

The job was done well within a reasonable price and he was polite, friendly and very tidy.

I’ve become a regular customer of Taylor Made, having been recommended to Ben by my neighbour. I use Taylor Made’s services to trim and shape my hedge every few months and have recently requested their help to tidy up my front garden by laying it to gravel, which looks amazing.

Taylor Made always do a fantastic job, and are efficient to deal with. I highly recommend.

Nicola Perry, Google review

I've used Taylor Made gardening for three years now, and can't recommend Ben highly enough. He's dedicated, honest, and brilliant at his work.

He has an excellent attention to detail, and as I've worked with him to develop my garden over the years, he's helped me fulfil many gardening dreams.

If you're considering getting someone in to help you, just do it. You won't look back.
