A garden service should reflect the size, condition and goals of the space. A walkthrough helps distinguish routine maintenance from a larger improvement project.
What to check
Explain whether you need mowing, weeding, pruning or a different task. Ask about appropriate skills for trees or specialist work, and use qualified help where needed. Confirm tools, waste removal and access. If a recurring visit is proposed, agree seasonal priorities and what work requires a separate quotation.
Questions to ask
- What work is routine?
- Who removes garden waste?
- Which specialist tasks need separate arrangements?
Review the arrangement after it starts
Use a short review to check whether the agreed tasks fit the available time and resources. Invite practical feedback rather than silently adding more work. Keep access, privacy and equipment responsibilities clear. If the arrangement changes, update the duties and price or employment terms together. A respectful working relationship is easier to maintain when both sides can refer to realistic expectations and an agreed way to raise concerns.
