Post this taskWhat to know about gardening
Gardening and landscaping get used interchangeably and they buy different things. Gardening is the living part: planting, beds, borders, pruning, mulching, edging, clearing and the seasonal work that keeps it all going. Landscaping is the built part — hardscape, grading, retaining, patios, structures — and lawn care is its own separate thing again, with mowing, aeration and feeding on a schedule. All three exist on Taskly as distinct categories. Knowing which word you want is the difference between offers that match your job and offers that price something else.
Pruning is where an amateur and a gardener visibly differ, and the reason is timing rather than technique. Shrubs that flower in spring — lilac, forsythia, many hydrangeas — set next year’s buds on old wood shortly after they finish flowering. Cut them in the autumn tidy-up and you get a healthy plant with no flowers, and nobody finds out until the following year. Summer-flowering shrubs are the opposite and want cutting while dormant. Anything needing a chainsaw at height, or work on a protected tree, is a different task with its own permit questions.
Two practical things to put in the post, because they decide the price more than the plant list does. First, access: can a wheelbarrow get to the back garden, or does everything come through the house or down a mutual drive? That one fact turns a mulch delivery from an hour into an afternoon. Second, green waste: where yard waste is collected on set weeks, the answer is often to bag and time it to collection rather than pay for a haul.

What to put in the post
- Roughly how many metres of bed, border or hedge
- Whether a wheelbarrow can reach the back garden
- Whether green waste is hauled away or bagged for collection
- Sun or shade, and whether the soil is heavy clay
- Whether you want a one-off visit or a seasonal arrangement

Questions
Frequently asked
Answers to what people actually search for.
What is the difference between gardening and landscaping?
Gardening is the living part — planting, beds, pruning, mulching, edging and seasonal care. Landscaping is the built part: hardscape, grading, retaining and structures. Lawn care is separate again. They are different categories here, and asking for the right one gets you comparable offers.
When should shrubs be pruned?
It depends what they do. Spring-flowering shrubs like lilac and forsythia set next year’s buds shortly after flowering, so pruning them in autumn removes the flowers before anyone sees them. Summer-flowering shrubs are cut while dormant. Say what you have and a gardener will time it.
Do I need to pay for the green waste to be taken away?
Not always. Where yard waste is collected on set weeks, bagged and bundled at the curb costs only timing. Hauling makes sense for a big clearance, out-of-season work, or anything the collection rules exclude. Decide which you want in the post.
