Hello, I'm Dave
Roots & Shoots is just me — Dave Okafor. I look after gardens the way they deserve: pruning when the plant is ready for it, feeding the lawn when it'll actually take it up, and keeping borders looking their best season by season. No rushed jobs, no guesswork.
Most of my clients have been with me for years, whether they're too busy to keep on top of things, can't manage the heavier work anymore, or just want the garden in safe hands. I'm fully insured, RHS-trained, and I take all the green waste away with me.
What I can do for your garden
From a fortnightly visit to a one-off rescue mission — every job gets the same care.
Regular maintenance rounds
Fortnightly or monthly visits that keep beds, borders and lawns consistently tidy through the year.
Hedge cutting & pruning
Hedges, shrubs and roses cut at the right time of year, so they stay healthy and flower well.
Lawn care
Mowing, edging, feeding and repair to bring tired grass back to a lawn you're proud of.
One-off tidy-ups & planting plans
Overgrown garden? Empty border? I'll get it back under control and plant it to suit your soil and your time.
