Gardening questions, answered

Routine care can include mowing, edging, weeding, hedge trimming, planting and leaf clearance. Agree the actual task list for your garden. Substantial tree work, construction and repairs need separate assessment. See garden maintenance for the practical scope.

Choose maintenance for a space that needs continuing upkeep. Dense overgrowth or inaccessible ground may need garden clearance first. Explain what must stay, the finish you want and any hidden materials.

Weekly, fortnightly and monthly gardening can be discussed, as well as a one-off visit. The useful interval depends on growth, tasks and the care you provide between appointments. Confirm availability for your postcode.

Call 020 3746 2449 or use the contact form. Provide your postcode, current photographs and a priority list. Include the entrance route, steps, gates and parking information.

Discuss the plants, quantities, preparation and supplied materials before the visit. Agree who provides them and who will water new planting afterwards. Major changes to the layout belong in a landscaping enquiry.

Small reachable garden growth and substantial tree operations are different tasks. Request a tree surgery assessment for high work, large branches or removal. Establish ownership, tree protection and any required consent before relevant cutting.

The published guide lists £79 for the first hour as the minimum booking charge and £65 for subsequent hours. The bill reflects actual time on site. Check the price guide and confirm the quotation and applicable charges before booking.

Explain what you want retained and where it should go. Composting needs suitable material and available space. Check your council’s accepted materials, containers and contractor-waste rules rather than assuming every bag can be left for collection. Confirm any bagging or handling charge.

Credit and debit cards are listed payment options. Confirm the booking’s payment arrangement through the usual booking process. Do not send card details in the general contact-form message.

Provide a usable carrying route and parking information. Move small loose items where safe, clear pet waste and identify plants to retain, cables and irrigation. Keep children and animals away from the working area. Agree entry and locking instructions if absent.

Photographs help assess the visible size, growth and access. They support an estimate, not a guarantee that hidden conditions will match it. Send wide views and close details, including the route between the vehicle and the garden.

Tasks depend on ground conditions, plant needs and safe access. Wet or frozen lawns may be unsuitable for mowing. Check for active bird nests before cutting dense growth and defer affected work; a calendar date alone does not settle the decision.

Ask about available dates for the actual service and postcode. Noise, access, specialist requirements and the schedule may limit suitable times. Confirm the appointment rather than assuming every operation is available on Sundays or bank holidays.

Use the London and M25 coverage directory, which lists the 60 selected locations. Call with the exact postcode to confirm the service and availability. The directory and map are not a guarantee of an appointment at every address.
