About Gardener
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. 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Typical Time Needed for Common Jobs
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.
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.
