High Wych sits at about 69 m above sea level. The climate in High Wych averages 11.0°C a year, with January around 4.5°C and July near 17.6°C. The area gets around 773 mm of rain per year.
Each task should appear with its own price: mow, edge, trim, blow, prune, mulch. Labour hours and crew size matter because 2 workers for 45 minutes costs less than 3 workers for 60 minutes. If disposal of green waste is missing, ask who hauls it and where it goes.
Patios need a base of compacted crushed stone at least 100 mm thick topped with 30 mm of bedding sand to avoid sinking. Borders should sit 10 mm above the turf to allow easy mowing without scalping. French drains 150 mm wide filled with gravel resolve most backyard puddles. Request a slope of 2 percent away from the house foundation to protect walls.
Patio and walkway quotes depend on base preparation, material thickness and access for a wheelbarrow or mini excavator. A 30 m² flagstone patio with 10 cm of compacted crushed stone base and polymeric sand joints typically takes 4 to 6 working days for a 3 person crew.
Ask who supervises the crew on site, what happens if a plant dies within 30 days, and whether the contract includes a maintenance plan with monthly visits. Request copies of insurance, licenses for pesticide application, and a written warranty on installed materials. Clarify payment terms, since reputable landscapers rarely request more than 30 percent upfront before work begins.
Warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia need cutting at 30 to 50 mm during growth, while cool-season fescue prefers 50 to 80 mm. Cutting too short exposes roots and invites weeds. Ask which species is in your lawn before accepting a generic mowing plan. A healthy lawn usually needs watering 2 to 3 times per week rather than a light daily sprinkle.
Dry rings around sprinkler heads, soggy patches between heads, misting instead of a solid stream and a controller running during rain all signal trouble. Ask for a walk-through of every zone before and after the visit, plus a written report listing pressure, rotor turns and any leaks found.
A full lawn reseeding of 500 m² takes 1 to 2 days including soil prep and rolling. Installing a 20 m² paver patio usually requires 3 to 5 days because excavation, base compaction, and sand leveling cannot be rushed. Hedge trimming of 50 linear meters takes around 2 hours with proper shears. Weather delays add 2 to 7 days during rainy seasons.
Very low prices usually mean uninsured labour, shared equipment, or skipped steps like edging, blowing or hauling. Ask for proof of liability insurance, worker compensation and a list of recent local addresses you can drive past. A written warranty of at least 12 months is standard.
On the first visit the crew usually brings a compact track loader, push mowers, string trimmers, hedge shears and a leaf blower. Hand tools include rakes, shovels and pruning saws. Ask whether machines are stored overnight on your driveway or transported daily, because diesel weight can mark asphalt over time.
Most flowering shrubs should be pruned within 2 weeks after blooming ends, not on a calendar schedule. Cuts larger than 25 mm in diameter on trees benefit from a sealing compound and must follow the branch collar. Avoid topping cuts, which stress the plant and cause weak regrowth. Request that the crew disposes of clippings and never leaves stubs above 10 mm.
