How to get an accurate garden maintenance quote

Updated

Most gardens look very different in a close-up photo than they do from the gate. If you're asking GARDR for lawn mowing, hedge trimming or a garden tidy-up, a few simple details help us understand the actual work and avoid an unnecessary back-and-forth.

What to include.

You don't need all of these, but the more you can share, the closer the first quote will be:

  • A wide photo of the lawn or garden bed, taken from a few steps back.
  • A photo showing gates and access, including any steps or narrow paths.
  • A close-up of problem areas, such as thick weeds or an overgrown hedge.
  • Rough lawn or hedge dimensions. Pacing it out is fine.
  • When it was last maintained.
  • Whether you want green waste removed.
  • For a raised bed, the measurements and what you want to grow.

Why site visits still matter.

A tall hedge, uneven ground or extensive plant removal can hide work that photographs can't show. GARDR may suggest a site visit before confirming a written quote.

Ready to ask?
