FAQs

What does a general garden maintenance visit include?
A general visit often covers mowing, edging, light weeding, tidying borders and checking plant health. The exact tasks depend on the season and the condition of the garden. Provide a list of priorities so the Gardener can focus on what matters most for that visit.
How often should a garden be maintained?
It depends on growth rate, season and the level of finish you want. Many gardens benefit from a regular schedule during spring and summer, with less frequent visits in cooler months. Discuss your priorities so the Gardener can suggest a sensible frequency.
Can I book a one-off garden tidy?
Yes, one-off tidy-ups are common. Explain the areas involved, the level of overgrowth and whether you want waste removed. A clear brief helps the Gardener estimate time and bring the right tools for the job.
Do I need to be at home during the visit?
Not always. If access is straightforward and instructions are clear, work can often be done while you are out. Provide access details, any boundaries to avoid and notes about plants that need care. If you prefer to be present, agree a time window.
Will the Gardener remove green waste?
Many gardeners can take green waste away, but it depends on the amount and local disposal options. Tell the Gardener if you want waste removed, bagged or left on site. This affects the time required and what equipment is needed.
Can you work around existing plants and borders?
Yes, careful working around established plants is normal. Point out any fragile or prized plants in advance. A simple list or photos help the Gardener plan the order of tasks and avoid accidental damage.
