Ask for proof of public liability insurance, a business address, and references from 2 recent clients. Check that they handle green waste removal responsibly. Confirm they carry their own tools and safety gear. A short trial visit of 1 to 2 hours helps you judge punctuality, quality, and care for plants.
Green waste can double the time of a job. Ask whether clippings, branches, and weeds are taken away or left in a compost area. Most pros include removal in the price or charge a small fee per bag. Paths, patios, and driveways should be swept or blown clean before the team leaves.
Most gardeners charge per visit or per hour. Per-visit rates depend on garden size, slope, and tasks. An hourly rate of 25 to 45 currency units is common for basic work. Heavy jobs like hedge cutting over 2 m tall or stump removal cost extra. Always request a fixed quote.
Lawn scalping happens when mower blades sit too low. Bare patches appear from poor watering or pet urine. Fungal disease follows over-watering in shaded areas. A good gardener will adjust blade height to 3 to 4 cm, check soil moisture, and avoid cutting wet grass to prevent these issues.
Solo gardeners usually charge less per hour but may lack insurance, backup staff, or machinery for big jobs. Companies bring teams, public liability cover, and replacement workers if someone is sick. For a single small garden, a solo pro is often enough. For large or multi-visit contracts, a company gives more reliability.
Expect a petrol or electric mower, hedge trimmer, strimmer, spade, fork, secateurs, loppers, and a wheelbarrow. For larger jobs, a leaf blower or chipper speeds up work. Tools should be clean and sharp. Dull blades tear grass and leave brown tips, which weakens the lawn over time.
A gardener handles planting, pruning, weeding, mowing, edging, hedge trimming, soil work, mulching, and seasonal cleanup. Many also install simple irrigation lines, spread fertilizer, and remove green waste. Ask for a written list of tasks before work starts, so you know exactly what is included and what counts as an extra.
Mowing a 200 m² lawn takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Trimming a 10 m hedge takes 45 to 60 minutes. Weeding a flower bed of 20 m² takes around 1 hour. A full seasonal clean-up in autumn for a small garden usually takes 4 to 6 hours with 1 or 2 workers.
A clear contract must list visit dates, tasks, price, payment terms, and cancellation policy. A 30-day notice is standard for ending regular service. Guarantees on plant survival are rare and usually only apply for 2 to 4 weeks after planting, so read the small print carefully.
Most gardeners price by the hour or per visit. Hourly rates vary by region and experience. The total depends on garden size, slope, access, overgrowth level, and waste volume. Ask if fuel, tools, and disposal fees are included. A clear scope of work prevents surprise charges when the invoice arrives.
