FAQs

Should I choose turf or seed for a new lawn before work starts?
Both options can work well. Turf gives a quick finish, while seed is often cheaper and needs more time. The Gardener can advise based on soil condition, access and the time you have for establishment.
Can gardeners create or refresh borders?
Yes, many gardeners can tidy and re-shape borders, add compost and replant as needed. Share your preferences for colour, height and maintenance level so the Gardener can plan the work. Photos and measurements can help the Gardener give clearer guidance.
Do you do edge trimming around paths and lawns?
Edging and strimming are common tasks and help keep a garden tidy. If crisp edges are a priority, mention it in your request so the Gardener can allow time for it. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Can you help with raised beds?
Gardeners can often tidy, refill or replant raised beds. If you need structural changes or new builds, say so clearly. Photos help the Gardener understand the current condition. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Gardener can plan the right approach.
What about pruning fruit trees before work starts?
Light pruning can be done by a gardener, but older or larger fruit trees may need specialist attention. Provide details on tree size and access so the right level of help can be arranged. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
Can you plant a new hedge?
Yes, hedge planting is common. Explain the length, plant type if known and the finish you want. The Gardener can advise on timing and preparation. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.
