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.
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.
Book autumn leaf clearance 4 weeks before the first expected frost. Schedule hedge cutting before nesting season, usually by early March. Lawn aeration and feeding work best in October or April. Tree pruning of deciduous species happens in winter when sap flow is low, usually January to February.
Mowing a 100 square metre lawn takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Trimming a medium hedge takes 1 to 2 hours. Clearing an overgrown border can take a full day for 2 workers. Weeding a typical flower bed takes 45 to 90 minutes. Add 10 to 15 minutes for setup and clean-up each visit.
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.
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.
Be careful if the gardener avoids giving a written quote, has no insurance, pressures you into large deposits over 30 percent, or cannot name past clients. Vague answers about chemicals, pruning cuts, or watering depth also signal inexperience. Trust grows when answers are specific and grounded in practice.
Green waste should be removed on the same visit unless you keep it for composting. Branches over 5 cm thick usually require chipping or a separate haul. Ask whether disposal is included in the quote or charged per cubic metre. Leaving bags of clippings on site is a frequent complaint.
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.
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.
