Identify what is unwanted
Use the first discussion or walk round to point out the growth you want addressed and the plants that must stay.
✦ GARDENING · LONDON & NEARBY
Weeding planned around the garden you want to keep.
Weeding is included among the tasks in a full garden maintenance tidy-up. The starting point is which growth is unwanted and which plants should remain. We agree those priorities with you rather than assuming everything in an untidy border needs to go.

✦ A DEFINED GARDENING TASK
Separate unwanted growth from plants to keep.
Customers may want weeding as part of regular garden care or call once growth has got out of hand. Brambles and dense growth change the enquiry from a light tidy into something that needs an assessed clearance brief. Photographs or a site visit help us establish the starting condition and estimated hours. A garden-size label by itself does not decide the working allowance.
Agree the weeding before working through the garden.
Where possible, we walk round together before starting and identify the plants to keep. In an overgrown space, enough room is cleared to work safely before the agreed cutting back, weeding and other care. We bring professional gardening tools and waste bags in our van. Customer electricity and water are not needed for our gardening equipment; the route into the garden needs to be accessible.
✦ SCOPE & PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS
What to agree before booking.
Agree the wider priorities
Weeding can sit alongside mowing, edging, hedges, shrub care and sweeping in the maintenance brief. Explain which tasks matter most for this visit.
Gather the cuttings and check
The finish includes gathered clippings, swept paths and a check of the agreed work with the customer where possible. Transport is a separate matter.

✦ BEFORE YOU BOOK
Garden Weeding questions.
Is weeding part of a maintenance visit?+
Yes. It is one of the listed maintenance inclusions, with the actual garden priorities agreed before the work.
Can I identify plants that look untidy but should stay?+
Yes. We agree plants to keep during the initial discussion or walk round where possible.
What if the garden contains dense brambles?+
Show the current growth. A heavier clearance assessment may be needed, starting with enough space to work safely.

Is there a separate hourly rate for this task?+
No. £65 per hour. One simple hourly rate. Minimum booking 1 hour. No VAT added. We confirm the hours before you book. Subject to assessment from photos or a visit. Routine weeding uses the garden-maintenance rate.
