Lawn mowing and edging, weeding, trimming, and pruning, and leaf cleanup, especially in the autumn, are all part of garden maintenance. Following that, it is entirely dependent on what clients have in their gardens, so it may also include fruit tree and bush pruning, large hedge cutting, planting of seasonal trees and shrubs, mulching, lawn treatments and maintenance.
But, let’s face it, gardening is a laborious, time-consuming task that not every individual has the time or desire to undertake. Aside from the physical labour, lawn and garden duties may actually require the use of equipment and tools that not everyone possesses.
All things considered; professional garden maintenance appears to be a practical solution. But, until you decide on the best option for your property, you should understand what garden maintenance is and what it entails, as well as whether gardeners are expensive.
Garden maintenance will also vary depending on client preferences, as some prefer to mow their own grass while we take care of everything else. At Bayside Gardening, we will personalise a maintenance package to each client’s needs and provide them with a garden that they can enjoy.
Significance of regular garden maintenance
You may believe that in order to have a beautiful garden with a lush lawn, you must only work on it in the spring and summer. Basically, garden and yard maintenance are necessary all year, including during the winter.
We believe it’s best to do some small activities on a regular basis to avoid having to deal with long, tedious, and challenging gardening tasks when the weather begins to warm up. This will not only make the warmer months work easier, but it will also prevent you from having to spend a significant amount of money on your gardener once gardening season arrives.
Garden maintenance inclusions
If you’re planning to employ gardeners, make sure you’re familiar with the solutions they provide and make a decision what sort of work your garden requires. This will expedite the process, but if you are unsure, you can also discuss with them on the subject.
Here is a list of the services that gardeners typically offer:
Tree and hedge trimming strives to preserve the visual appeal of your hedges, shrubs, and trees while also keeping their form in a clean and neat state. In some cases, diseased foliage must be removed, and branches must be cut to stimulate growth. You may be wondering how much gardeners bill for this service. It varies depending on the number and length of the hedges, the height of the trees, and the difficulty of the task.
Lawn care – this includes edging, irrigation, clipping removal, and leaf blowing in addition to lawn mowing. Because most gardeners charge by the hour, the price varies according to the surface area of the garden and how unkempt it is. If you hire a professional garden maintenance service, the landscapers will bring a high-quality lawn mower to speed up the process.
Weeding is a fairly simple service, but keep in mind that the majority of the chore is done by hand. It includes weed removal from lawns and flower gardens, and the cost is determined by the time required and whether or not you want a weed-killer application.
Other garden improvements may include planting of trees, installing window boxes, repairing turf, and so on. Because these are time-consuming and entail some technical skills, the hourly rate of the gardener will be determined by the difficulty of the job, the tools required, and, of course, the planting materials.
How much does it cost to keep a garden in good condition?
Professional landscapers in Australia are typically paid by the hour, and this may be influenced by two factors: the gardening tasks involved and the scale of your garden. If you want to know more about how Bayside Gardening will charge for gardening maintenance, contact us for a quote.
It’s worth noting that the level of expertise is critical and may influence the price.
Garden maintenance – how frequent you would want it
Depending on your gardening needs, garden maintenance companies like us can provide a flexible schedule. That is why it is important to explain exactly what you want and lay out your expectations.
If you consider weekly, fortnightly, or monthly garden maintenance, you should be aware as well that not all gardening tasks can be completed due to bad weather, particularly when it is raining.
