About Gardener
Red Flags When Talking to a Gardener
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.
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.
Seasonal Work You Should Plan Ahead For
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Common Problems and How to Avoid Them
Lawn scalping happens when mower blades sit too low. Yellow patches often mean overwatering or poor drainage. Hedge dieback follows repeated cuts into old wood. Agree on cut heights, watering rules, and which plants should not be touched. A simple walk-through at the start prevents most disputes later.
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.
