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.
