What gardeners can help with
Gardeners can manage garden maintenance, clearance and planting upgrades. This includes mowing, pruning, hedge trimming, weeding and removing waste. For larger jobs, a gardener can assess the space, measure areas and plan the work. Accurate quotes rely on garden size, condition, task list and access limitations. Let the Gardener know if there are large hedges, steep slopes or heavy growth. If matching an existing planting style matters, include that in the brief. Photos and a short timeline help define the work. You can ask for regular visits or a one-off tidy depending on growth and season. If materials are needed, say whether you want the Gardener to supply them or use items you provide. If you have deadlines or preferred time windows, include them in the brief.

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.
