The Grass is Always Greener With Us
Our team of landscapers are ready to do what is asked. If you are not satisfied, we are not satisfied.
About Us:
We are a community group based in Cambridge, dedicated to supporting individuals facing mental health challenges and addiction. Our goal is to provide a welcoming space where people can unwind, have fun, and connect with others in similar situations... all through the power of football.
Our sessions are open to anyone aged 18 and over, regardless of gender or background. Whether you're currently struggling, have faced challenges in the past, or simply want to support others on their journey, you’re welcome to be part of our community.
About Us:
We are a reliable company with full liability insurance dealing in landscaping, tree work, paving, lawns, planting and much more. There is no job too small for our family-run business we are polite, friendly and respect all customers needs. Come to us for a free no-obligation quote at a very competitive price that we agree on at the start and stick to until the end. We won’t quote, get halfway through a job and then ask for more, like some traders do... What is agreed, is agreed - and we stick to our word.
Give us a message or a call at any time between 8am-8pm Monday to Sunday to arrange or discuss any viewings or queries.
What We Do:
Hedge Cutting & Trimming
Highlight your regular lawn maintenance services, including mowing, edging, and trimming. Describe how you keep lawns looking pristine by maintaining an optimal grass height, neatly edged borders, and manicured edges.
Mowing & Grass Cutting
Promote your lawn fertilization and weed control services. Explain how you nourish lawns with the right nutrients to promote healthy growth and prevent weed infestations. Highlight your use of environmentally friendly and safe fertilizers and herbicides.
Planting & Seeding
Emphasize your lawn aeration and overseeding services. Describe how you improve soil health and promote thicker, lusher grass by aerating lawns to reduce compaction and overseeding with high-quality grass seed.
Tree Surgery
Showcase your landscape maintenance and cleanup services. Explain how you help clients maintain the overall appearance of their outdoor spaces by trimming shrubs, mulching, leaf removal, and general cleanup to enhance curb appeal.
& much more, including:
Weeding & Weed Prevention
Weeding and weed prevention in gardening involves removing unwanted plants and implementing strategies like mulching and herbicides to prevent their regrowth.
Trimming & Edging
Cutting back overgrown plants and defining the borders of lawns and garden beds to maintain a neat, manicured appearance. This ensures healthy plant growth and enhances the overall aesthetics of the garden.
Pond Maintenance
Cleaning and managing the water quality, controlling algae and weeds, and ensuring the health of aquatic life. This includes tasks like removing debris, checking filtration systems, and monitoring water chemistry to keep the pond attractive and balanced.
Pruning
Selectively trimming plants to remove dead or overgrown branches, enhance shape, and promote healthy growth.
General Maintenance
Routine care and management of the area to keep it healthy and attractive. This also involves cleaning up plant debris and removing waste to maintain a clean and orderly appearance.
Our Team:
At Addicted to Football, we consider ourselves more than just a team; we are a family. The individuals involved come from diverse backgrounds and have varied life experiences, which enables us to support one another effectively.
In a team, individualism is set aside. The atmosphere is characterized by friendliness, open-mindedness, and a collective willingness to assist one another in achieving success together.
Sponsors & Kit:
To date, our efforts have primarily focused on the physical aspects of our activities, which has resulted in a lack of pursuit for sponsorship opportunities. Until yesterday, I have been financing the group personally; however, a generous individual recently contributed a donation of 300 pounds, which has been allocated towards the purchase of our new shirts. We are now actively seeking a sponsor to feature prominently on the front of our kit.
Goals for the Future:
This year, our primary objective is to concentrate on our group and assess the benefits derived from our sessions.
We will utilize biweekly surveys from our participants to evaluate any changes in their mental health and addiction challenges since their involvement. Based on the positive outcomes, we can then expand our efforts to other regions across the UK to provide support to those in need. Progress cannot be achieved without completing the initiatives we have commenced.
My overarching aim is to assist individuals in recognizing that life can be positive if we embrace change, actively listen, learn, and collaborate. Together, we can explore numerous opportunities, and I am committed to guiding this journey.
In April, we will introduce two additional sessions focused solely on fitness, distinct from football.
These new sessions will be titled "Addicted to Fitness."

What Are Our Customers Saying?
Client satisfaction is guaranteed.
Charlie and his team were excellent and did a fantastic job with the garden maintenance work. Ben was very professional and would highly recommend him and his team. The quote for the works was also very reasonable and most competitive. Highly recommend Gateway Garden and Home Maintenance.
Charlie came with one of his colleague and they got 4 of our tree stumps removed in no time at all! They did a great job with a great price, took away the stumps with them and left our garden tidy! It is very kind of them to give us a tub of grass seed which we did not expect at all! Would defo recommend them!
Charlie and his colleague were friendly and very thorough with our turf laying - we ended up commissioning more gardening (tree surgery) which was also completed to a good standard. Would recommend!
