Garden beds and edging.

Todd from Todd's Total Property Maintenance

Not an overly technical job but if you're sick of your garden or its contents ending up on your paths, let me come and box it in for you.

If your soil is practically dust, let's throw down some old carpet to lock in moisture and suffocate the weeds.

Not an overly technical job but if you're sick of your garden or its contents ending up on your paths, let me come and box it in for you.

If your soil is practically dust, let's throw down some old carpet to lock in moisture and suffocate the weeds.

While we're at it cover the whole area with mulch from all yours overgrowth so it looks brand spanking.

This time next year, your dirt will have been transformed into soil, full of fungi, bacteria, worms humus and life!

That first meeting planted a seed
My obsession with food was present from a very early age. I remember competing with other family members to eat as much as I possibly could and I almost always ate until I felt uncomfortable. I would be secretive about eating the foods I thought my parents would probably not approve of me eating. I was always aware of the presence of food and was often asking myself how can I get more without others thinking I’m greedy or how can I avoid food altogether because everyone is watching me?
