Pruning
There is an extra charge for trimming shrubs and small trees and this task must be scheduled through the office as it is done by a specialised team. Basic pruning of roses is done between Jene and August. Roses can also be fertilised and sprayed at this time at an additional cost.
Fertilising
Lawns and flower beds needs to be fertilised at least twice a year, in spring and autumn. Vegetable gardens are weeded, but because this is an edible produce we will not undertake pesticide applications of any sort. We recommend using organic pesticides like Biogrow.
Top dressing warm season lawns
Warm season lawns needs be top dressed at least every 2-3 years, depending on the lawn’s exact requirements. It must be noted that this top dressing is done with a mixture of soil and compost and as such it is fairly sandy. Cool season lawns must not be top dressed as this will kill it.
Feeding your garden
It is recommended to fertilise your garden twice annually, but ideally this should be done more often. You may choose to use organic or chemical fertiliser. Please remember that chemical fertilisers must be watered in well. Dependent on the type of garden and plants used, flower beds can also be fertilised more often. Rent a Gardener (Pty) Ltd, incorporating Rent a Domestic ™ prefers to use an organic fertiliser. The addition, applying of compost to the flower beds on an annual basis is highly recommended – this should be done in winter and spring. Mulch retains moisture and assists with supressing weed growth.
Trimming shrubs
Garden styles and designs vary enormously as do the requirements of each home-owner. The garden maintenance services supplied by Rent a Gardener (Pty) Ltd, incorporating Rent a Domestic ™ ranges between a very basic to a standard service and will not cover the needs of every garden type or home-owner. In some instances extra preventative maintenance will be necessary. This could be on a once a year, bi-annual or quarterly basis.
Additional plants
If additional planting is required or an upgrade is needed for an existing garden (partial or complete), please contact the office for advice. If using an external service provider, the office must be notified regarding the planned changes to ensure that the garden maintenance service is adjusted to the new landscaped garden.
