Finding reliable gardening services Glen Iris residents can trust is not always easy. Plenty of companies offer garden care, and they all claim to be the best. So how do you choose the right one?
1. Do your research
Read online reviews and ask neighbours, friends and family for recommendations. Look at photos of previous work. This quickly narrows your list to a few reputable options.
2. Ask the right questions
When you contact a gardening service, ask:
- How much experience do you have with gardens like mine?
- What is your approach to pruning, lawn care and plant health?
- Are you insured, and do you have horticultural qualifications?
- Do you offer one-off clean-ups, regular maintenance, or both?
- How do you handle green waste?
The answers show whether the company is the right fit for your garden and your expectations.
3. Compare quotes
Once you have a shortlist, request written quotes from each provider and compare them side by side. Look beyond the price: check what is included, how often they visit and whether there is a contract.
