Welcome to Manor Landscapes

Good afternoon, I'm Shaun Teague and I have been providing quality gardening maintenance and turfing services to the local community for over 30 years.

Since the age of 14, I've been involved in creating and maintaining beautiful gardens. I started helping my father during school holidays, moved on to work for several gardening firms and enjoyed the work so much I created my own company Manor Landscapes 16 years ago.

I work with a fantastic range of clients to transform dreary and overgrown outdoor areas into desirable and usable garden spaces.

My experience has proven the need for effective planning and understanding of what you'd like to achieve from your new space.

1. Planning

Would you prefer the instant gratification of turf over the slow and nurturing option of seeding?

What type of lawn would you like? Does it need to be hardwearing for children or is it purely ornamental?

Do you want to incorporate additional flower beds, planters or a water feature into the lawn?

How much time do you want to spend maintaining your lawn?

2. Preparation & Laying

The best time to start your lawn project is typically between March and November for turf and May and September for seeding.

The ground will be prepared to lay the turf or seed. This can include removing hard landscaping or a previous lawn and laying topsoil. In all cases I would rotavate the soil, remove large stones and weeds, and level the area to ensure a bump free lawn.

I use quality turf and seeds. Turf must be healthy, green and weed free to ensure a quality finish.

While laying, care is taken not to damage the freshly completed areas.

3. Aftercare

I'll provide instructions on how to care for your new lawn immediately after it’s laid.

For turf, you need to ensure that it doesn’t dry out over the first few weeks and for seeding, daily watering is recommended. You need to keep off the grass until it starts to establish.

If you prefer, I can carry out maintenance visits.

4. Maintenance

I can provide ongoing advice in respect of lawn care and carry out regular maintenance visits to ensure that your lawn remains in mint condition.

Garden Maintenance

Serving customers throughout South Devon including Stoneyhill, Ashburton, Totnes, St Marychurch and Coffinswell.

With a passion for gardens and gardening, I can help you get or keep your garden under control with one off or regular maintenance visits.

Regular Maintenance

If you don’t have the time, the ability or just don’t know where to start with your garden then I can provide a weekly, fortnightly or monthly maintenance service. The cycle of weeding, mowing, pruning and planting never ends so let me do the hard work whilst you sit back, knowing that your garden oasis will thrive with my years of experience and knowledge.

One-off Maintenance

I work on all different sizes and types of garden so whether your garden needs a spruce up or complete clearance then you can trust me to do the job. Facing an overgrown garden can be daunting. If you’ve moved into a new property and the garden needs clearing, you want to improve the space for an upcoming party or you just need an expert boost to start your own gardening journey then I can help.

I offer a reliable, trustworthy and courteous service to help you maintain and create your ideal garden space whatever your garden needs.

I will certainly be recommending you to my clients.

Shaun - just thought i would drop you a quick line to say thank you for the garden work which you carried out last week 2/3/11 on Cherrywood close. The Garden looked fantastic and it was perfect timing for the open day we had on the property, many people commented on it so gave out a few of your cards , hopefully you'll get a few more leads from it. Good luck with your business and keep up the service - I am sure you'll do well! I will certainly be recommending you to my clients.

Tim Sample, Sample Mills, Newton Abbot

...thanks very much for the work you've done to the garden.

Dear Shaun, thanks very much for the work you've done to the garden at 62 Mile End Road. Best Wishes.

We have found him to be reliable, hard working and works to extremely high standards.

Having recently moved to Newton Abbot we needed some major and some minor jobs doing at both the front and back of our new house. We came across Shaun's website and he came to quote within a few days. He offered some great advice on what really needing doing and the best way to achieve what we were looking for. We have found him to be reliable, hard working and works to extremely high standards whilst being a pleasure to have around. We will certainly be using Shaun again in the future for more garden work and I cannot recommend him more highly.

Dr J, Newton Abbot

Shaun is an experienced professional and easy to deal with, highly recommended.

I contacted Manor Landscapes to prepare the ground and lay a lawn in my daughters garden. Shaun was polite on the phone and arrived when arranged, did a thoroughly professional job in a quick and organized way. Tidy whilst working and left the garden looking smashing. Used good quality soil and weed-free turf all for a reasonable price. Shaun is an experienced professional and easy to deal with, highly recommended.

Mike Short, Devon

...you were professional, enthusiastic (even in the pouring rain) and took care of everything.

Many thanks for your work in our garden preparing the ground and laying the turf, it's a complete transformation! From the first email to completion of the job you were professional, enthusiastic (even in the pouring rain) and took care of everything. I'll certainly be recommending you to friends and family. Thank you

Harry Millman, South Devon

I have no hesitation to recommend Shaun to any project in you might be planning in your garden.

From the initial visit to my property Shaun had an honest approach to the job and offered clear and concise advice to myself. He worked tirelessly and left a fantastic lawn that so far has been the envy of family and neighbours. He has advised us of how to maintain the lawn. I have no hesitation to recommend Shaun to any project in you might be planning in your garden. Thank you Shaun.

We could not be happier with our new lawn and would recommend him to everyone!

From our first contact with Shaun he has been very friendly and helpful! Communication has been excellent and his work speaks for itself. He gave us plenty of advice for the aftercare or our turf. We could not be happier with our new lawn and would recommend him to everyone!
