I'm a self employed lady gardener (RHS & C&G qualified) who has, up until recently, concentrated on soft landscaping (planting plans etc) but I've now been asked to design a garden with a patio, arbour, pergola etc.
I need to find someone to do this landscaping work for me and have no idea where to start as most of my contacts are tree fellers, lawn layers etc.
Any ideas please for someone reliable and prepared to do "one-offs" for me - I'm learning a bit about prices etc from forums such as these but am still very nervous about people not turning up etc.
Would it benefit me to go on a short course to learn about how deep hardcore etc should be so I would then know if someone is doing a good job?
