Choosing a gardener is not easy. The specialist you employ must be efficient, know their tools and offer reasonable rates for your garden management. But how do you find a gardener who can measure up to your expectations? Here are a few handy tips:

Ask a gardener for references of past clients. You will want to talk to his/her customers to see if their expectations were met.

Confirm if a landscape gardener offers both design and construction services if you are planning to spruce up your garden landscape. Some landscapers only specialise in design.

Read online reviews. Testimonials can help you assess the expertise of a gardener based on the experiences of previous clientele.

Request a free consultation and invite a gardener to walk around your plot. A knowledgeable gardener will be able to point out potential problems in your garden and even recommend solutions.

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.
