About Gardener
Common Problems and How to Avoid Them
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.
Seasonal Work You Should Plan Ahead For
Spring: soil feeding, lawn reseeding, rose pruning. Summer: regular mowing, watering checks, pest control. Autumn: leaf removal, bulb planting, cutting back perennials. Winter: tool servicing, tree inspections, mulch renewal. Booking 4 weeks ahead helps during busy months like April and October.
Tools and Machinery You Should See
Expect a professional to bring sharp, well-kept tools: shears, secateurs, loppers, a leaf blower, and a mower with a grass collector. For larger work they may use a strimmer, hedge cutter, or scarifier. Dull blades tear the grass and damage plants, so ask when tools were last sharpened.
Typical Time Needed for Common Jobs
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.
What to Check Before Hiring
Ask for proof of public liability insurance, a tax registration number, and 2 references from the last 6 months. Confirm what equipment they bring and what they expect you to provide. Make sure water access and electricity are agreed on in advance to avoid awkward pauses on site.
Pricing: How the Total Is Calculated
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.
How Often Should the Garden Be Maintained
Most home gardens need 1 visit every 2 weeks during the growing season and 1 monthly visit in winter. Lawns grow faster in spring and may need mowing every 5 to 7 days. Frequency should be set in the contract, with a clear rule for weather delays or skipped weeks.
Choosing Between a Solo Gardener and a Company
Solo gardeners often charge less and handle small plots well. Companies bring teams, machines, and insurance. For a one-off clean-up, a solo pro is fine. For regular visits on a property over 500 m², a company is usually more reliable. Always ask who actually shows up on the day.
What a Gardener Usually Does
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.
Contracts, Guarantees, and Cancellation
Regular visits need a short written agreement covering scope, frequency, price, and notice period. A 30 day cancellation term is standard. One-off jobs need a fixed quote, not an estimate. Ask what happens if plants die after pruning. A responsible gardener will replace clearly damaged stock at no cost.
