How long will a garden tidy take for your property?
Timing depends on garden size, access and the amount of growth. Photos and measurements help the Gardener estimate the time required and plan the visit. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
Do gardeners use chemicals?
Some gardeners use treatments for weeds or lawns, while others prefer manual methods. If you have preferences, mention them early so the approach can be agreed. Share the age of the property, access, and what you want to change so the Gardener can plan the right approach.
Can you work around children and pets?

What should I include in my request?
