What we do
Everything a garden needs, one local team.
From regular maintenance, lawns and hedges to fencing, jet washing, sandstone patios, turfing and full landscaping — Bentley Garden Services covers the lot across Hale, Bowdon and Altrincham, done by the same reliable crew and left tidy every visit.
01Service
Regular Garden Maintenance
Most of our work is regular maintenance, and it's why so many Hale households have kept us on for years. On a schedule that suits you — weekly, fortnightly or monthly — Scott and the team keep the lawns cut and edged, borders tidy, beds weeded and the whole garden under control so it never gets away from you. It's the low-fuss way to keep a garden looking cared-for without lifting a finger yourself, and it's the backbone of what we do.
02Service
Lawn Management
A well-kept lawn is the first thing anyone notices, so we look after it properly. We mow to a clean, even stripe, edge the borders crisply and keep the grass in good health through the season — the difference between a lawn that's simply cut and one that's genuinely cared for. We work with the right kit for the job, and it shows in the finish clients keep coming back for.
03Service
Hedge, Bush & Tree Trimming
Hedges and trees are where a garden either looks sharp or looks neglected. We trim hedges to a clean, square line, keep bushes and shrubs shaped, and carry out light and heavy pruning on trees to keep them healthy and in proportion. Whether it's a fortnightly tidy of a low box hedge or reducing a run of tall conifers back to a manageable height, we've got the reach and the experience to do it safely and neatly.
04Service
General Clean-ups & One-off Tidy-ups
Sometimes a garden just needs rescuing — after a house move, a spell away, or simply because it's got on top of you. We come in and do a proper one-off clean-up: cutting back the overgrowth, clearing the borders, mowing, weeding and hauling away the waste, so you get the garden back in a state you can enjoy again. Plenty of clients start with a tidy-up and then keep us on for regular visits so it never gets that far again.
05Service
Landscaping — Large & Small
Beyond regular upkeep, we take on landscaping projects large and small — reshaping a tired garden, building new beds and borders, cultivating and turfing, or a full transformation of the space. It's the same team you'd have for maintenance, so there's no chain of subcontractors and the standard stays consistent from the groundwork up. We plan it with you, price it clearly and build it properly, then most clients keep us on to look after what we've made.
06Service
Turfing & Planting
When a lawn is past saving or a border needs bringing to life, we turf and plant. We lay fresh turf on a properly prepared base for a lawn that takes well and lasts, and we supply and plant bedding plants, mature shrubs and trees to give a garden instant structure and colour. Because we're in these gardens week in, week out, we plant with an eye to how it'll look — and how easy it'll be to keep — once we've gone.
07Service
Fencing
A fence is only as good as the way it's put in, so we fit ours properly. We supply and install fence panels, posts and boundaries across residential and commercial gardens, setting posts true and to depth so a run stays straight and solid rather than leaning after the first winter. Whether it's replacing a few storm-damaged panels or fencing a whole boundary, we leave it clean, level and built to last.
08Service
Jet & Power Washing
Hard surfaces gather grime, moss and algae that no amount of sweeping shifts. We jet-wash patios, paths, decking and driveways back to how they looked when they were laid — lifting off the green film and ingrained dirt that make a garden feel tired. It's one of the quickest, most satisfying transformations there is, and it's easy to fold into a regular maintenance visit so surfaces never get that bad again.
09Service
Indian Sandstone & Artificial Grass
For a garden you want to enjoy rather than constantly tend, we lay Indian sandstone patios and flagging on a proper consolidated base — the terrace becomes a usable outdoor room that holds its level for years. We also supply and fit artificial grass where a low-maintenance, always-green lawn makes more sense than turf, cutting it in cleanly around beds and paths for a neat, natural-looking finish.
10Service
Fence & Outdoor Painting
Timber left untreated greys and rots; a coat of the right treatment keeps it protected and smart. We paint and treat fences, sheds, decking and other outdoor woodwork — protecting it against the weather while tidying up the look of the whole garden in the process. It's a small job that makes a big difference, and an easy one to add on when we're already on site for maintenance or a tidy-up.
11Service
Commercial Grounds Maintenance
It isn't only domestic gardens — we look after commercial grounds and estate maintenance too. For business premises, communal grounds and larger estates we provide scheduled, dependable upkeep: mowing, hedges, borders, clearance and general tidiness kept to a standard that reflects well on the property. We turn up when we say we will and keep the grounds consistently presentable, so it's one less thing for a property or site manager to chase.
12Service
Composting & Green-Waste Recycling
We never leave a garden buried under bags of cuttings. Everything we take out — grass, hedge trimmings, prunings and border waste — is cleared away and sent for recycling at a fully permitted, environmentally friendly facility, and we compost borders where it makes sense to feed the soil back. It means you get a genuinely finished, tidy garden at the end of every visit, and the green waste does something useful rather than going to landfill.
How we work
What keeps a garden looking cared-for — not just tidy for a week.
Good garden care is as much about turning up reliably and clearing up properly as it is about the work itself. Here is what sits behind a Bentley garden.
Regular, reliable visits
The backbone of what we do is scheduled maintenance — weekly, fortnightly or monthly — by the same small team. It’s how gardens around Hale stay looking cared-for all year without you ever having to think about it.
The right kit for the finish
We run professional Honda rear-roller mowers for that clean, even stripe, plus proper hedge, tree and pressure-washing equipment — the difference between a lawn that’s simply cut and one that’s genuinely looked after.
Left tidy, waste recycled
We never leave a garden buried under bags of cuttings. Everything is cleared away and sent for recycling at a fully permitted, environmentally friendly facility, so you get a genuinely finished garden every visit.
One team, big jobs and small
From a fortnightly lawn cut to fencing, sandstone patios, turfing and full landscaping, it’s the same crew throughout — no chain of subcontractors, and a standard that stays consistent from the groundwork up.
How it works
Free estimate, done properly, left tidy.
01
A free estimate on site
Give Scott a call or drop us a message and we'll come and look at the garden — no charge and no obligation. We talk through what you want done, whether that's a regular maintenance visit or a one-off project, and give you a clear, honest price. No pressure, no vague 'prices from' — just a straight figure for the work in front of us.
02
The work, done properly
On the day, Scott and the team turn up when we said we would and get on with it — mowing, pruning, hedge and tree work, fencing, jet washing or landscaping, whatever the job needs. We work tidily, take care around planting and paving, and check in with you as we go so the garden ends up the way you pictured it.
03
Cleared, tidied and recycled
We don't leave a mess. Everything is cleared and the garden left neat, and all green waste goes for recycling at a fully permitted, environmentally friendly facility. Most clients keep us on for regular visits from there — it's how gardens around Hale stay looking their best all year, and why so much of our work comes from the same households year after year.
Before you call
Questions we're asked most.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. Scott will come and look at the garden, talk through what you want done and give you a clear, honest price — no charge and no obligation. We don't do vague 'prices from' figures; you get a straight quote for the actual work in front of us.
Do you do regular visits or just one-off jobs?
Both. Most of our work is regular maintenance on a schedule that suits you — weekly, fortnightly or monthly — but we're just as happy to do a one-off tidy-up, a hedge cut, a jet wash or a landscaping project. Plenty of clients start with a one-off and then keep us on.
Will I actually deal with Scott?
Yes. Scott Bentley runs the business and works on the gardens with the same small team — which is why clients name him personally in their reviews. There's no call centre and no chain of subcontractors between you and the people doing the work.
Which areas do you cover?
We're based in Hale and cover Hale Barns, Bowdon, Altrincham, Timperley, Sale, Broadheath and out toward Chorlton — the WA14, WA13, WA12 and WA11 postcodes. For larger landscaping projects we're glad to travel a little further afield.
Not sure what the garden needs?
That's what the free estimate is for. Scott will come and look at the garden, tell you straight what's involved, and give you a clear, honest price — no obligation.
