Where there’s muck, there’s brass, a phrase originating in my native Yorkshire but true wherever you live. I interpret it to mean all waste has a use, and when it comes to green waste, such as grass clipping, hedge trimmings, logs, leaves and sticks, I use as much as possible. Composting smaller stuff, making charcoal and using logs for woodturning and burning. It’s a symbiotic relationship between YuuTrees and YuuGrow.
A nicely cut, lush green lawn is something everyone can appreciate, and nothing looks as good as freshly mowed grass and a tightly cut hedge. Whether it’s a one off first cut so you can keep on top of it, or a regular cut throughout the growing season, I can provide both, no matter what size. I can also help with scarifying, aeration, moss removal and feeding plans for your lawn to keep it healthy all year round.
'I switched from a career in graphic design because I wanted to spend more time outside, with my hands dirty, touching the land. By utilising a range of skills, YuuTrees was how I began, with tree, gardening and landscape work being my primary income. With the set up of YuuGrow, we have begun producing fruit, vegetables and eggs, making use of the green waste from YuuTrees.' - James Rush, Owner-operator

Here’s a fence I did today that used conifer stumps as fence posts, something I’ve never done before but worked out fairly well. Before this the conifer ‘hedge’ was about 18 feet tall and 10 foot wide, making the small…
The aim of the YuuGrow smallholding, or farmden as I like to call it, is to provide a market garden supplier for fresh produce, seasonally, for the public and businesses in the Llangollen area. We set up in October 2017…
