What gardeners can help with

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.
