01 / Planning your Gravesend job

Decide how much work you want done in one visit

For a Singlewell or Riverview Park garden, identify the areas that matter most: a planted bed, lawn edges or a path being narrowed by growth. Show existing piles separately from material still to be cut. Ask whether a limited visit can achieve the result you want or whether a larger clearance is needed. Agree the task list and the material that should leave so the proposed price has a defined finish.

Gravesham’s paper garden sacks belong to the registered property

Gravesham says its garden sacks can only be collected from the property signed up to the service, so purchased sacks cannot be shared for collection at another address. The council also advises keeping the paper-based sacks dry until collection day. If suitable material will remain after gardening, check the registered address, collection date and storage. Do not arrange a tidy around borrowing someone else’s collection allowance or leaving paper sacks exposed to rain.

Separate a planted-bed tidy from taking the bed out

For a Chalk or Northfleet request, label flowers and shrubs to retain and explain where weeds or overcrowding are the problem. If you are considering removing a whole bed, ask for that as a separate option. Soil is not accepted in Gravesham’s garden sacks, so excavation needs its own disposal assessment. Include old edging, containers and any other items separately from the green growth when asking the provider to price the work.

Make the trade-off between retained material and removal clear

An example brief could cover weeding one bed and trimming specified shrubs, with removal included unless a suitable household arrangement is confirmed. Ask what additional handling you would need to do if material stays, and compare that with the complete removal price. Give the full Gravesend postcode and access photographs to the WhatsApp agent. It checks the actual request against participating gardeners’ service areas and availability.
