Short answer
Effective garden maintenance requires consistent attention to lawns, hedges, and other greenery. Decide on the frequency of visits and whether you need regular upkeep or a one-time clearance service. Consider whether green waste disposal is included.
Regular maintenance prevents gardens from becoming unmanageable.

Questions
How often should I have my garden maintained?
The frequency varies based on your garden's size and plant types. Typically, a visit every 1-2 weeks during growing seasons is recommended.
Does garden maintenance include plant fertilisation?
Some services do offer fertilisation, but it's not always included. It's best to check with your provider if you require this specific service.
Will the tradesperson remove the green waste?
Many services offer green waste removal, but it's crucial to confirm this in advance. Otherwise, you may need to organise disposal separately.
Can I request a one-time clearance instead of regular visits?
Yes, many providers offer one-off clearance services to address immediate concerns or prepare the garden for a new season.
