> "We hired Harry to tidy our garden every two weeks. We found him very unreliable - missing weeks or coming on the wrong day (and not responding to messages). This came to a head when he arrived on the wrong day and we had the builders in - so had to ask him to come back another time. He then missed the next two visits. When I contacted him he was very confrontational – blaming us for prioritising the building work over him. I attempted to smooth things over and he agreed to pick up the visits again from the next week. He did not turn up – very disappointed with his lack of professionalism."

## Before you hire a gardener
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
- Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
- Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
