Landscaping and property maintenance in Churchill
Churchill and Langford, two miles east, where the A38 meets the foot of the Mendips.
About 2 miles from Winscombe
The ground in Churchill
Churchill and neighbouring Langford sit at the bottom of the Mendip scarp where the hill road comes down to the A38. Gardens on the south side of the village run into the slope, and the higher ones are working with thin ground over limestone, which drains fast and grows a lawn badly in a dry summer.
Properties here run from period stone and larger detached houses with real land, through to the village estates. The larger plots are where paddock work, orchard clearance and boundary hedging come in, because more ground than one household can keep on top of is exactly the situation.
The A38 makes it quick to reach from Winscombe, which keeps travel off the price of a smaller job.
