How it works

A clear brief helps gardeners price the work accurately and avoid surprises. Add timing preferences and note any fragile areas so the plan is clear.

  1. Outline the tasks and the areas to be worked on.
  2. Provide garden size, condition notes and access constraints.
  3. Review quotes and ask about equipment, disposal and timing.
  4. Book a gardener once the scope is agreed.
  5. Confirm access, water points and waste handling before the visit.

What gardeners can help with

Garden projects range from routine maintenance to full clearances. Gardeners can mow lawns, trim hedges, prune shrubs, weed beds and clear waste. They also handle seasonal tidy ups and planting. For accurate quotes, include the garden size, condition and task list, plus any access limits. Mention if there are large hedges, tall shrubs or areas that need heavy clearance. If you want a regular schedule, include that. Photos help define the scope and timing. If materials are needed, say whether you want the Gardener to supply them or use items you provide. Clear scope and photos help the Gardener estimate time, tools and disposal. If you have deadlines or preferred time windows, include them in the brief. Let the Gardener know if you want advice on seasonal timing.

FAQs

Do I need to be at home during the visit when planning the work?
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.
Is lawn mowing included in general maintenance?
It often is, but it depends on what you request. If lawn care is a priority, share the lawn size, condition and whether you want edging or strimming. This helps the Gardener allow enough time for the work.
When is the good time to trim hedges when planning the work?
Timing varies by hedge type and local wildlife considerations. a gardener can advise on suitable timing for the plants you have and the finish you want. If you need a neat outline or a reduction in height, say so upfront.
Can a gardener prune small trees and shrubs?
Many gardeners handle light pruning and shaping of shrubs and smaller trees. For larger trees or specialist work, a tree specialist may be more appropriate. Describe the tree size and access so the right level of help can be arranged.
