Question 1

What gardening services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We provide professional garden maintenance, planting, pruning, lawn care, soft landscaping, garden improvements and irrigation systems. We can care for an established garden, improve individual areas, or help bring an overgrown or tired garden back to life.

Question 2

Do you offer regular maintenance and one-off visits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide both regular garden care and one-off work, depending on the garden, the type of work required and our availability. For regular customers, we tailor each visit to what the garden needs at that particular time of year rather than following the same checklist every visit.

Question 3

Can you help if I don't know exactly what my garden needs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. That's part of our job. You don't need to know plant names or exactly what needs doing. Tell us what you like, what you don't like and what you'd like to achieve, and we'll recommend the most appropriate approach.

Question 4

Can you improve or renovate my existing garden?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You don't necessarily need a complete redesign. We can work with what you already have—improving beds, planting, lawns, pots and other areas while retaining the parts of the garden that already work well.

Question 5

Do you supply and choose plants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can select, source, deliver and plant suitable plants for your garden. Plant choice is based not only on appearance, but also on sunlight, shade, soil, available space, maintenance requirements and watering conditions.

Question 6

Do you install automatic irrigation systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can design and install irrigation for borders, beds, pots and other planted areas, including automatic and app-controlled systems. We can also assess and improve existing irrigation systems.

Question 7

How often should my garden be maintained?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on the garden. Some gardens benefit from weekly visits, while others may need fortnightly or less frequent care. We can recommend the right frequency based on the garden's size, planting, season and the standard you would like to maintain.

Question 8

How much do you charge?

Accepted Answer

Our standard rate is £38 per person, per hour.YGIMG is a professional gardening company led by an experienced horticultural specialist. We know what to do, when to do it and how to do it properly, with a strong focus on efficiency, quality and visible results.One of the most common comments we receive is how much our team achieves in a relatively short visit. That’s why we believe the fairest comparison isn’t simply the hourly rate, but the quality and amount of work completed for the money you spend.A lower hourly rate can sometimes mean a higher overall cost if the same work takes considerably longer. If your priority is knowledgeable, efficient garden care and excellent results, we believe YGIMG offers exceptional value.

Question 9

Do I need to be home while you work?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many customers arrange access for us while they are at work or away. Once access and the work have been agreed, we can look after the garden without you needing to be present.

Question 10

Do you work with commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Alongside residential gardens, we provide professional garden maintenance and garden-management services for commercial and managed properties, including communal gardens and care environments.
