Key checks for a gardener or landscaper

  • Ask for comparable completed work.
  • Specify materials and green-waste handling.
  • Agree establishment and maintenance responsibilities.

Use the garden plan to separate jobs

Mark routine tasks, new planting and construction work on a simple plan. Note access, slopes and areas where drainage is a concern. Ask candidates which parts match their expertise and whether another specialist is needed for structural or tree work.

Compare establishment and maintenance

Ask what happens after new planting or turf is installed and who waters, maintains and replaces failed items under the agreed terms. Record materials, waste handling and any visits included. A completed installation and an ongoing maintenance service are different commitments.
