The useful first call is short. Town, what is wrong, and whether you think it is a design, a drive, a tree or a tidy. The address is The Garden Centre, Birchall Lane, Hertford, and the two numbers are 01992 414 536 and 078 6224 5534.
You do not need a drawing. You do need an honest account of the hours the garden will get, because that decides more than the square metres.
Worth knowing before someone stands in the garden
None of this has to be formal. A few sentences is enough.
- The town, and whether there is a side gate a machine might use
- What you want to keep: a vegetable patch, a tree, a view of the field
- What has failed: the drive, the lawn, the light, the hedge
- Whether the job might move onto a regular visit once it is built
- Any sense that a tree is protected, even if you are not sure
Commercial and public sites — hotels, offices, schools, colleges, housing — can use the same opening. The difference is who signs the visit off, and whether the list is grass only or the longer grounds round.
