Garden maintenance — Landscape gardener
List the areas and tasks you need help with and explain whether the goal is regular upkeep or recovery after missed care. Provide photographs and describe the plants you want retained so the gardener can estimate a realistic visit scope rather than treat every green area as interchangeable.
Service scope
Scheduled or one-off care of an existing garden through a defined list of routine horticultural tasks. Mowing, weeding, hedge or shrub care and seasonal work must be specified; major landscaping, hazardous tree work and specialist treatments are not automatically included.
What is normally included
- Agreed routine garden-care tasks
- Defined one-off or recurring visits
- Green-waste handling and care records where specified
What is not included
- Unlimited garden redesign or clearance
- Hazardous tree surgery within a general maintenance visit
Typical tasks
- Review the garden and priorities
- Agree the task and visit schedule
- Complete routine care within the scope
- Handle green waste as agreed
- Record follow-up needs and changing priorities
What to include in your brief
- Garden areas and photographs
- Required maintenance tasks
- Visit frequency or one-off objective
- Plants and features to protect
- Access tools water and waste arrangements
Choosing the right professional
Compare task lists, horticultural knowledge and visit expectations rather than an hourly figure alone. Ask how seasonal changes, weather and work outside routine care are handled, and keep tree surgery or specialist chemical treatment within separate qualified commissions.
Important considerations
- Unclear plant identification can lead to unwanted removal
- A fixed time allowance may not cover an overgrown garden's initial recovery
