Handy tips

Questions to ask before hiring a gardener

Is your busy schedule limiting you from performing your garden maintenance chores each week? If yes, then it is time to engage a professional gardener. Consider the questions below before you finalise a local garden care specialist:

What were their specific duties as a gardener in the past? Were they involved in digging, planting, mulching, watering and weeding? Did they periodically spray pesticides to ensure plant safety?

What are their qualifications? A gardener with a Certificate III or a Certificate IV is likely to be more proficient in looking after your garden.

Will they be able to provide an itemised list of costs? This will allow you to know where your money is being spent or how much you are being charged for supplies, in addition to labour.

Fix up with a gardener near you once you have received satisfactory answers to the above questions. Browse our online listings for local gardeners and gardening services now!

Gardeners - Common Questions

How to control the weeds in my garden?

Hand-weeding is the most effective way of removing weeds. Adding a layer of mulch helps slow the return of weeds. Regularly chopping and turning the soil with a hoe is also helps keep weeds under control.

I just treated my plants last week and the bugs are back! What's wrong?

It often takes multiple applications of pesticide to break the cycle. Since many insects can have eggs left behind on the plant, a close inspection once a week and treatment where necessary will break the cycle.

When is the best time to prune trees?

The obvious season to prune is winter - especially for roses and fruit trees. Year round pruning can be achieved by pruning small amounts regularly.

Do I need mulch in my garden?

Mulch serves several purposes. It helps suppress weeds and retain moisture at the root of the plants. As it breaks down, it will also improve the texture of the soil.

Why do I need to fertilise my garden plants?

The soil needs to be fertilised to replace lost nutrients. Some plants, such as fruit trees, vegetables and roses, have been bred to be super productive and need extra. Lawns are other good examples.
