Learn about Gardeners

Planting decisions depend on a site’s soil, aspect and exposure. Gardeners can help match plants to those conditions and coordinate with gardening and irrigation professionals when a project includes a watering system.

Life gets busy sometimes, and the garden is often the first thing to get forgotten about. However, keeping the garden tidy is extremely important for the overall aesthetic of your home, showcasing your beautiful plants, flowers, and trees without the mess of weeds or overgrown shrubs. ArchiPro features only the best gardeners in Australia to help you keep your garden looking great.

Lawn care and restoration

Gardeners know exactly how to keep your lawn fresh, green, and vibrant. They can help mow your lawn, trim the edges, or even keep up with the watering when there’s no rain.

Garden weeding

Weeds can make your garden look unruly. Gardeners help to weed around your shrubs and plants to encourage growth and promote a beautiful garden.

Plant selection

If you need help selecting the right colour plants or even the right type of plant for conditions in Australia, gardeners can apply their breadth of knowledge to help you out.

Garden maintenance

A garden requires regular maintenance, otherwise, it can get messy fast. Gardeners can establish a relationship with you for a regular gardening routine.

The advantages of hiring a skilled gardener

Don’t underestimate the skill set of an experienced and reputable gardener. Skilled gardeners are likely to do a good job from the get-go, reducing the need to get lawn or garden maintenance more than what is needed. They’ll also have experience cleaning up gardens similar to yours in size or requirements, due to their extensive years of experience. Beautifully pruned bushes and well-maintained trees require the best eyes (and hands) for the job. They’ll also be more likely to correspond with high-calibre garden suppliers with access to the best and latest products available.

How to choose the best gardener for your project

There are several factors to keep in mind when choosing the best gardener for your next project. For example, what is the extent of your garden project? Some gardeners in Australia will specialise in lawn maintenance, while others are talented in pruning flower beds. Choosing the right type of gardener with respect to your needs and requirements is therefore very important. Some gardeners will also have regular clients (with testimonials to back them up) which indicates that they’ve built up many relationships with happy customers.

If you’re still deciding between several gardeners, you can have a quick meeting to discuss questions, such as:

  • How many years of experience do you have gardening in Australia?
  • What areas of gardening do you specialise in?
  • Would you be interested in ongoing garden maintenance or a one-off job?
  • What are your fees and pricing structure?
  • What is your availability?
  • Do you have property damage coverage?
  • Do you have liability insurance?
  • Do you work with any other gardening professionals like arborists?

Do gardeners need a licence?

In Australia, gardeners don’t need a licence to work. However, this can vary per state so it’s worth checking the requirements where you live. A licence can also differentiate professional gardeners from others, so it’s worth asking the gardener if they have one.  

What time can gardeners start work?

The time restrictions per state in Australia can vary. However, generally powered tools like lawnmowers can be used from 7am to 8pm every day apart from Sunday (on Sunday, it is an 8am start).

Do gardeners work in the rain?

In Australia, this can depend on the type of garden work they are doing, how heavy the rain downpour is, and what the gardener is comfortable working in. Generally, light rain is ok, but heavy rain with wind and hail can disrupt the gardening process.

What does garden maintenance include?

Garden maintenance includes weeding, grass trimming, lawn mowing, pruning, clearing up leaves, and even installing smaller plants.
