About Gardener
What to Check Before Hiring
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.
Choosing Between a Solo Gardener and a Company
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.
Contracts, Guarantees, and Cancellation
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.
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.
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.
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.
Waste Removal and Clean-Up
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.
Tools and Machinery You Should See
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.
Pricing: How the Total Is Calculated
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.
What a Gardener Usually Does
A gardener handles mowing, trimming, weeding, pruning, planting, and soil care. Work can also include hedge cutting, lawn feeding, pest checks, and small landscaping fixes like levelling a border or replacing broken edging. Ask for a written list of tasks before the first visit so you can compare quotes fairly.
