More Than Just Gardening – A Helping Hand When It's Needed Most

For many people, a garden is more than just an outdoor space. It's where children once played, where vegetables were lovingly grown, where family gatherings took place, and where a few quiet moments can bring peace and happiness.

But as we get older, or when health and mobility change, keeping on top of the garden can become more difficult. Simple tasks such as mowing the lawn, trimming hedges, weeding borders or tending a vegetable patch can quickly become hard work.


That's where Tarka X SafeHarbour GreenCare comes in


A Friendly Helping Hand


GreenCare was created to support elderly, vulnerable and disabled people across North Devon who would like a little extra help maintaining their outdoor spaces.

We're not just here to cut grass or pull weeds. We're here to help people continue enjoying the gardens they love, remain independent at home, and take pride in the places that matter to them.

Whether it's a one-off tidy-up or regular visits throughout the year, our friendly DBS-checked team provides reliable support that clients and families can trust.


What We Can Help With


Our GreenCare service includes:


  • Grass cutting and lawn maintenance

  • Pruning shrubs and hedges

  • Weeding and border care

  • Vegetable patch maintenance

  • Seasonal garden tidy-ups

  • Garden safety checks

  • Light garden clearance

  • Regular garden visits

Every garden is different, and we tailor our support to suit individual needs.


Peace of Mind for Families


We know that family members don't always live nearby. It can be worrying when a loved one's garden starts becoming difficult to manage.

A tidy, well-maintained garden doesn't just look better—it can help reduce trip hazards, improve accessibility and create a safer environment.

GreenCare provides reassurance that someone is there to help keep things under control and identify any concerns before they become bigger problems.


Local, Trusted and Community Focused


At Tarka X SafeHarbour, community is at the heart of everything we do.

Our GreenCare team is DBS checked, professional and approachable. We understand that inviting someone onto your property is about trust, which is why we treat every client and every garden with care, dignity and respect.

We're proud to support people across North Devon, helping them stay connected to their homes, their gardens and their communities.


Looking After Gardens, Looking After People


A little help can go a long way.

Whether it's keeping a lawn neat, maintaining a favourite flower bed or making sure a vegetable patch continues to thrive, GreenCare is here to lend a hand.
