Large Victorian stone villas in Ilkley come with long lawns and mature borders below the moor. That is the kind of garden where a mole can work undisturbed for weeks.
Ilkley's spa-town villas were built with generous gardens, and many still have broad lawns, borders and shrubs. A large garden hides a mole well. By the time hills appear on the main lawn, the animal may already have tunnelled under borders, around the roots of mature planting and out toward the boundary. Ilkley Moor above supplies open country nearby. On a big plot, seeing the whole pattern matters more than any one hill.
Our visit is a walk of the whole garden, not just the worst patch. We mark live runs, look at how the tunnels connect, and explain lawful ways to remove the animal. We do not suggest poison. A mole is not a house pest, so the building itself is not part of this. A free survey is available for homes, and the quote reflects the size of the grounds.
Not by eating them. Tunnels can loosen soil around roots and let it dry out, which stresses young or shallow-rooted planting. Established shrubs usually cope, but it is worth dealing with the animal before the tunnelling spreads.
That depends on the garden, how active the animal is and how it behaves. Some jobs need several visits to check traps and confirm the tunnels have gone quiet, so we quote on that basis after seeing the ground.
