What to look for in a gardener
A reliable gardener asks about access, slope, pets, and your priorities before quoting. They explain what is included in each visit and flag extra work (heavy pruning, green waste removal) before starting.
- Do they carry public liability insurance?
- Will the same person or crew attend each visit?
- How do they handle wet weather or missed visits?
- What equipment do they use for your lawn size?
- Can they provide a written quote and invoice with ABN?
