Default Gardening Quotes - Reasonable?

The quote I got was £15 per week (£60 per month) for time as
needed and this includes plants / shrubs.
Andy


Two issues regarding the plats and shrubs:

1) I'd get some idea what sort of plants and shrubs he has in mind - you may
be looking at a garden full of something very cheap and boring - anyone
could fill a garden completely by scattering a packet of forget-me-not seeds
or similar cheap seed about .

2) The other issue might sound like a silly question, but it might be worth
just confirming that you acquire ownership of the plants he supplies. If he
puts a nice selection of expensive plants in your garden make sure that you
are not just leasing them - in the same way that some larger companies lease
office plants from office decoration firms. You don't want him coming back
in the future digging up the plants and taking them away again!
