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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
