Are garden maintenance companies near me required to have insurance?

Garden maintenance companies are not legally required to have insurance, but it is highly recommended. Most professional garden maintenance companies will have public liability insurance to cover any damage to property or injury caused during their work.

How often should I schedule local garden maintenance services?

The frequency of garden maintenance depends on your garden’s size, plant types, and your personal preferences. Some gardens may need weekly visits during the growing season, while others might require monthly care or seasonal clean-ups. A professional garden maintenance company can assess your garden and recommend a schedule that keeps it healthy and looking its best year-round.

How should I prepare my garden before maintenance work?

Before your gardener arrives, tidy away items like toys, tools, or furniture, and let them know about any hidden features—such as cables, ponds, or delicate plants. This helps them work safely and ensures nothing gets damaged during the job.

Can garden maintenance services help with pest or weed control?

Yes. Many garden maintenance companies include pest management and weed control as part of their service, often using eco-friendly treatments that protect plants while keeping your garden healthy.

How can I lower the cost of regular garden maintenance?

You can save money by booking regular visits instead of one-off jobs, keeping pathways and gates clear for easy access, and combining tasks such as lawn mowing, hedge trimming, and weeding into a single visit.

Do garden maintenance companies work in bad weather?

Most gardeners can carry out work in light rain or cooler weather, but heavy rain, strong winds, frost, or storms may cause delays. If conditions could harm your lawn or make the work unsafe, they’ll usually reschedule for a better day.

He called in the morning and agreed to start the job from this Saturday but texted later on in the afternoon saying he can no longer do the job - very unprofessional and should not be listed in Mybuilders. It causes huge inconvenience to us, customers.

Hello, I am Kieron Barry, I am 19 years old and have been working with different trades for 3 years now. I am a multi trade, focusing on plumbing, general maintenance, carpentry and tiling. I can do painting and decorating to some standard as I am currently working with a property maintenance company.

Handyman- 10 May 2022
We are extremely disappointed with Daniel. Initially communication was good and Daniel seemed pleasant. He said he could do the work we asked for and we agreed a price. We were quite happy at this stage and were just waiting for Daniel to make arrangements with his contracts manager as to when he could begin the work. Sadly, this is the last contact we had with Daniel, despite sending him messages on various media. Needless to say we are very unhappy and disappointed and feel completely let down. He didn’t even have the courtesy to reply. We’ve now had the work done by someone else who did a great job and didn’t let us down. We will not use ‘My Builder’ site again after this complete let down; it doesn’t reflect well on your website.

Landscaping- 30 Jan 2022
We hired this company to do our garden, they were not the cheapest quote, but they were available to start soon, which is the main reason we went ahead with them. Be aware that you will receive an estimate and not a fixed price. They will charge for day labour, materials, etc. The cost will have nothing to do with the original quotation. We were receiving invoices weekly, and by the third week, the invoices amounted to the whole original quoted price. We were told that the job was going to be completed in 10 days, after 21 days it was not even half of the work done, meanwhile, they are invoicing daily for their work. When we complained about it and explained that we were not willing to pay more than what was agreed (plus whatever extras we requested), they refused to finish the job and demanded payment. We even received a letter from their solicitors threatening us with legal action. Just to avoid having to deal with them, we made an agreement and paid for half of the job. We had to get another contractor who charged us to completely re make the garden works, basically we just threw several thousand pounds down the drainage. We would never recommend this company

Tradesman booked another job due to a misunderstanding and then failed to confirm when he suggested an alternative date. Went AWOL and didn't reply to text. Unreliable and not great at communication. Do not recommend. Used someone else to do the job.

Do not hire this guy. He started a work for me and left it unfinished after collection of £300 deposit following further request of payment different from initially agreed deal. His piece of work was not good and he is so unprofessional. The Police had to be called for him to leave my property.

Carpentry- 3 Sep 2021
We are very sorry to leave a negative review. But i cannot really find any thing positive to write about the completed job. Took too much of the door, which now looks terrible, even with filer and a lick of paint and the skirting boards have havent been put into place, despite the guy coming back to sort. I should really be asking for a refund. £130 paid and now my husband has to sort.

Hi, I am a woodworker / garden maintenance person. I am happy to undertake jobs of any size, whether this be a small table build, a full garden redo or a shed build. I work full time in an office role so this is actually my hobby and I love to see the finished product after doing a great job for my clients. I'm a very happy and honest man who works hard and I only take up the job if I know I can fit it in, so you will never be let down. My main skill set is building bespoke outdoor furniture.

Handyman- 19 Jun 2021
On contact with Josh he confirmed that he was capable of doing the job .He gave me a price I accepted and he came to do the job on Saturday 5/6/21 .Later that afternoon he said that he had finished for the day but would come back on Tuesday 8/6/21 with some wood edging to replace the ones he had taken off as they were rotten.He would trim and tidy everything up leaving the job finished to my satisfaction and he was also happy with.He never returned leaving me with a mess and a problem that friends and neighbours have had to sort out for me 2 weeks later.On checking further the felt on the shed roof was not on straight so affected overlap.The back side of the shed felt was not attached so just over hung ,too long of clout nails were used so went straight through shed roof causing damage to interior .I tried to be fair giving enough time to return to finish the job in the end I lost all confidence.

Bathroom Fitting- 13 Sep 2018
Did some good work but let us down when not accepting responsibility for his failure to commission a bore hole filtration installation that did not give us clear water for 6 months. We only found out when I employed and paid Anglian water to come out to check the system and they reported that it had never worked since installation as he did not open the air valve and so there was no chance that the iron could be put into suspension so the next cylinder could filter it properly. They opened the valve and the water is 70 cleaner - I suggest to Ben he paid £115 for the Anglian visit and install one 5 micron filter at his cost so we get the clear water he promised before being awarded the contract. I have not heard from him after this reasonable compensation request for 6 months yellow water that children will not bath in, guests are concerned with and will not drink. So would not hire him again
