About Gardener
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 charge per visit or per hour. Per-visit rates depend on garden size, slope, and tasks. An hourly rate of 25 to 45 currency units is common for basic work. Heavy jobs like hedge cutting over 2 m tall or stump removal cost extra. Always request a fixed quote.
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.
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

Work can also include hedge cutting, lawn feeding, pest checks, and small landscaping fixes like levelling a border or replacing broken edging.
