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
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.
