I recently had a shoulder op so asked a garden maintainance company to come do cut and trim back of my garden then 2 weekly maintainace. I have come home today to a back garden where all the ivy has been cut back to the wood, no foliage, my strawberry bed and my borders look like they have been attacked with a strimmer, all my lavender plants, ferns and fuscia plants are stumps in the ground like 2 inches high. they have basically flattened the whole garden and borders. I had a large patch of crocosomia which was 12 inches high and you cant even see where it was sprouting. It looks bloody awful. Is this normal. I have never hired anyone to do my garden and now it looks like a bomb has hit it. Not a single plant has survived. I have a beautiful clematis that had already spread up the trellis and would have flowered soon and they have cut it back to a 6 inch stump it looks horrendous
