THE world's largest lawn-mowing and garden maintenance franchise has started cutting grass in Swindon.

Jim's Mowing offers residential and commercial customers garden maintenance services including grass cutting, lawn treatment, hedge trimming and garden clearance.

Jody Chrich, the Jim's Mowing franchise owner in Swindon, said: "Often our customers just don't have the time to do the gardening, others can't manage it, while some simply don't want to do it themselves and are looking for a professional company.

"We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service, which is quite often the exception rather than the rule."

The company was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1982, has spread to Canada and New Zealand and the UK, and now has 2,500 franchises across the world.
