Holmfirth's stone cottages cling to steep hillsides with moorland all around. Gardens in the Holme Valley are exactly where a mole feels at home.
Tourists come for the Last of the Summer Wine connection, but residents know the village as a place of steep lanes, small walled gardens and fields close to every back door. With moorland above and fields around, moles are never far away. A cottage lawn that was perfect in summer can be riddled with tunnels by the winter wet. Even a small lawn shows the damage clearly.
Gardens in the Holme Valley are often small, uneven and terraced, so we take care to protect walls and planting while we work out the tunnel route. We explain the lawful options and avoid poisons. Because this is a garden animal, we do not work indoors. The quote depends on the plot and the visits required, and we are happy to provide one free after the survey.
Often yes, since a small lawn can be badly scarred by one mole. We will tell you honestly if the activity looks minor enough to leave. Surveys are free for homes. We can often say more from a photograph.
We will ask about access, steps and slope when you call. Some plots are seen in person, which is where the survey comes in. Do mention any steep or shared paths. Narrow lanes and steps are usual in the valley.
