FAQs

What is involved in a garden clearance when comparing options?
Clearance usually means removing overgrowth, cutting back shrubs, tidying borders and dealing with green waste. The exact scope varies by garden size and access. Describe what needs removing and whether waste should be taken away or left on site.
Can a gardener lay turf or seed a lawn?
Many gardeners can prepare the ground and lay turf or seed, depending on the condition of the soil. Share the area size, current surface and access so the Gardener can advise on preparation and timing.
Do you offer scarifying or aeration?
Some gardeners provide scarifying or aeration as part of lawn care. If the lawn is compacted or patchy, mention this in your request. The Gardener can advise whether those treatments are suitable. It helps to note any existing issues, recent work, and the areas involved.
When is the good time for seasonal tidy-ups?
Spring and autumn are common times for bigger tidy-ups, but it depends on growth and your goals. Describe the current condition of the garden and the look you want so the Gardener can suggest a practical schedule.
Can you reduce the height of a hedge when comparing options?
Hedge reductions are possible, but the timing and amount depend on hedge type. Explain the current height and how much you want reduced. The Gardener can advise on what is achievable and when. Photos and measurements can help the Gardener give clearer guidance.
Will the Gardener take away leaves and debris?
Leaf clearance can be included. If you want debris removed, say so, and note any access or parking limits. This affects how the Gardener plans the visit and disposal. If relevant, confirm how services will be isolated and when they will be restored.
