A Professional Approach to Your Property
Professionalism in a gardener goes beyond horticultural skill. It means turning up when agreed, communicating promptly when there's a problem, treating your property with respect, and being transparent about pricing. It means not cutting corners on disposal — taking all waste away or disposing of it correctly, not leaving it for you to deal with.
It also means giving honest advice, even when that advice isn't what you want to hear — flagging that a tree may be protected before starting work, or advising against a planting scheme that won't thrive in your soil conditions. Our listed gardeners in Waskerley are selected for their professional approach as well as their technical competence.
Garden Clearance
A garden clearance is one of the most satisfying one-off gardening jobs — and one of the most popular requests from Waskerley homeowners who have moved into a property with an overgrown garden, or whose own garden has got away from them over time. It typically involves cutting back overgrown shrubs and hedges, removing weeds and self-seeded plants, clearing debris, and preparing the space for future maintenance or replanting.
A professional clearance includes proper disposal of all waste — either taken away in a van, composted on site where appropriate, or put into a hired skip. Japanese knotweed, if present, must be handled and disposed of as controlled waste under specific legal requirements. A knowledgeable gardener will identify this immediately and advise you on the correct course of action.

Materials — Plants, Mulch, Bark, and Topsoil
For any gardening project that involves planting, surfacing, or soil improvement, materials form a significant part of the overall cost. The cost of plants varies enormously — from a few pence for small plug plants to tens of pounds for a large specimen shrub or semi-mature tree. The quantity required depends on the planting density and the size of the area being planted.
Bulk materials such as bark mulch, gravel, topsoil, and compost are typically priced by volume and delivered by the bag or by lorry for larger quantities. A professional gardener will be able to source these at trade prices and advise on quantities, but it's worth asking your gardener in Waskerley to separate materials from labour in their quote so you can understand where your money is going.
Gardening FAQs — Japanese Knotweed
Japanese knotweed has distinctive hollow, bamboo-like stems with purple speckles, large heart-shaped leaves with a flat base, and creamy white flowers in late summer. It dies back in winter but regrows vigorously from the rootstock. If you suspect you have knotweed in your Waskerley garden, seek a professional identification before any clearance work is carried out.
It is not illegal to have knotweed on your land, but it is illegal to cause it to spread to neighbouring land, and it is a criminal offence to dispose of it in any way other than as controlled waste. Cutting it and putting it in a green bin, or taking it to a domestic recycling centre, is illegal.
The most reliable treatment is professional herbicide application, typically using a systemic herbicide such as glyphosate, applied over two to three growing seasons. This must be carried out by a certified professional holding a PA1/PA6 certificate. Physical removal is possible but the excavated material must be disposed of at a licensed facility as controlled waste.
It can — mortgage lenders have become more cautious about lending on properties where knotweed is present or has been present. However, a professionally managed treatment programme, documented with a management plan and insurance-backed guarantee, is increasingly accepted by lenders. The key is to act promptly and engage a specialist firm.
