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.

FAQs

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?

Yes, with clear instructions. Note any access restrictions and preferred working hours. The Gardener can plan tool placement and safety measures accordingly. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.

What should I include in my request?

Include the tasks, garden size, access, waste preferences and any fragile planting. Photos are helpful for overgrown areas. Clear details make it easier for the Gardener to assess the scope. Ask what is included, how long the work may take, and what happens if extra issues appear.

Can I combine maintenance with small landscaping jobs for your property?

Often yes. If you want both routine care and small improvements, list everything together so the Gardener can plan the work and materials. Photos and measurements can help the Gardener give clearer guidance.

Do I need to provide power?

Most garden work does not need power, but some tools may require it. If outdoor sockets are limited, mention it so the Gardener can plan accordingly. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
