EALING / TWO SPACES, DIFFERENT NEEDS
Front and Rear Garden Care in Ealing
The approach to your front door and the space behind the house may need very different attention. Give each its own priorities instead of stretching one vague tidy across both.
- Photograph front and rear separately
- Rank presentation against everyday use
- Mark planting to retain in each area
- Explain how the two spaces connect

Choose the priority, not simply the nearest task
TWO LISTS, ONE ORDER
Garden maintenance
Combine the front and rear lists only after ranking them. Make clear which tasks may wait if the assessed scope is narrower.

Two photographs can prevent an uneven brief
If your Ealing property has planting on both sides of the house, label photographs “front” and “rear” and list the essentials beneath each. Do not assume the more visible frontage should automatically receive most attention: the rear route to a shed may be more important to you. Explain whether equipment can pass between the spaces externally or must return through the building. The aim is a deliberate allocation of effort, not a half-finished version of every task.

A VISUAL EXAMPLE OF PRIORITIES
A defined area can be a complete result
The images are illustrative and do not represent an Ealing frontage or a promised whole-property finish.
Identify the boundary
The example route and adjoining planting create a bounded task.
Concentrate the attention
Selected material is gathered and the adjacent border tended.
Assess that area
A clearer route is visible without implying every outside space was addressed.
LABEL THE REQUEST PRECISELY
Service choice comes after the area is identified
| Service | Where help is wanted | What the brief should specify |
|---|---|---|
| Garden maintenance | Selected areas on either side | Named beds and practical seasonal priorities |
| Lawn care | Each identified grass section | Suitable cutting and the relevant edges |
| Hedges & shrubs | Specific groups of established shrubs | Agreed shaping with their purpose retained |
| Garden clearance | A bounded neglected section | Listed removal without extending into excluded areas |

the chosen areas.
Submit both sets of photographs if both spaces matter. Agree the allocation, handling and final scope rather than adding the second area on arrival.
LIGHT GARDEN CLEARANCE£100–£300
This light-clearance guide concerns the assessed clearance task, not an allowance for routine work across front and rear gardens.
See clearance pricing| Service | Scope considerations | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Routine garden maintenance | Combined priorities and how the areas are connected | Quote after assessment |
| Lawn mowing & edging | Separate grass dimensions and equipment movement | Quote after assessment |
| Hedge & shrub trimming | Plant groups, their sizes and the intended attention | Quote from photographs / assessment |
| Small green-waste collection | Material gathered at agreed points | From £40 |
| Light garden clearance | The precise section requiring removal | Typically £100–£300 |
| Large overgrown garden | Scale and density within the clearance boundary | From £500 |
A second space is an additional scope decision
Small frontage tasks still take attention. Include them at enquiry stage so the quote reflects the entire request, together with any materials or removal you require.
AVOID AN UNDIVIDED TASK LIST
Match the service to each part of the property
Hedges & shrubs
A front grass strip and rear lawn may differ in condition and shape. Label both when requesting mowing or edging.
Explore hedges & shrubs
Garden clearance
Distinguish entrance planting from rear screening; the intended function can affect the proposed extent of suitable trimming.

Garden maintenance
A neglected rear corner need not turn the entire property into a clearance project. Draw its boundary clearly.

Lawn care
Assign border and seasonal jobs to the correct area, especially if one space needs presentation and the other ongoing upkeep.

READ EACH SPACE SEPARATELY
Use location labels within your own property
Front strip or rear lawn
Give approximate dimensions for each grass section independently.
Entrance shrubs or rear screening
State the purpose and desired limits for each group.
Doorstep pots or rear beds
Identify what needs care and what should remain untouched.
Approach or utility route
Specify debris gathering separately from any washing request.
One or two gathering points
Consider where material from each area can practically go.
DIFFERENT AREAS, CHANGING DEMANDS
Do not assume both spaces need identical care
Exposure, plants and use can differ within one property; suitable work needs consideration in each area.
Spring
Look for new growth in both front and rear beds before defining weeding priorities.
Summer
Assess each grass section rather than treating the whole property as one uniform lawn.
Autumn
Prioritise leaf gathering where it interferes most with entrances or regular routes.
Winter
Review structure and access while allowing unsuitable ground to limit active tasks.
ONE AREA NOW, OTHERS OVER TIME
Choose a realistic allocation of attention
| Visit choice | One-off gardening | Regular maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Completing the nominated first-priority space | Keeping both agreed areas manageable |
| Frequency | One clearly bounded appointment | Reviewed attention according to each area's needs |
| Scope | An ordered front-and-rear list | Defined responsibilities across both spaces |
FRONT-AND-REAR CHECK
Keep the allocation visible
- Must both sides be included?
- No. State explicitly if the request concerns only one space.
- Can presentation be the front priority?
- Yes, explain the intended finish while keeping plant suitability and scope limits clear.
- What suits a one-off appointment?
- A first-priority area with a defined endpoint is easier to assess than two open-ended lists.
- Can ongoing care cover different tasks in each area?
- A plan can distinguish them; agree responsibilities and review needs as conditions change.
- Will waste from both areas be removed?
- Only through the quoted arrangement. Identify each source of material when discussing handling.
- Should the two lawns be measured together?
- Give separate approximate dimensions and pictures so differences in shape and condition are visible.
- Can I switch priorities later?
- Discuss a change before the appointment rather than assuming the same assessment still applies.
LABEL, RANK, CONFIRM, REVIEW
Turn two spaces into one clear enquiry
Label the views
Make it obvious which photographs show each side of the property.
Rank across both lists
Choose the most useful tasks before agreeing the total scope.
Check each working area
Different ground or plant conditions may require different decisions.
Review against the allocation
Check the named areas rather than an undefined whole-property expectation.
Additional outdoor projects remain separate
Routine Alesta gardening does not automatically include landscaping, specialist treatments or major tree work simply because they sit within the same property.

Planning gardening at an Ealing property
Can the rear garden be the only priority?
Yes. Exclude the frontage clearly if no attention is wanted there, even when the entrance passes through it.
Should I send the front photograph if only the rear needs work?
It may help explain access, but label it as route information rather than part of the requested gardening scope.
Can different shrubs receive different treatment?
They should be considered individually. Explain their roles and any limits rather than requesting uniform cutting throughout.
What if the rear cannot be reached from the side?
Describe the alternative route and its restrictions. Equipment and material handling need assessment before arrangements are confirmed.
Is a small front bed too minor to mention?
No. Include it if you want it addressed; its size does not make it automatically part of another task.
Will clearing the rear include front-garden waste?
Not by implication. Existing material elsewhere should be listed separately in the removal enquiry.
Can the routine alternate between areas?
Discuss the preferred arrangement and actual needs. Any continuing plan should identify which responsibilities apply at each visit.
Do both spaces need the same seasonal tasks?
No. Different planting and conditions can make different work appropriate even within one address.
EALING / THE CORRECT ENTRANCE
Explain entry to both areas
Confirm attendance for the Ealing address, then show how the front and rear are reached. A street-facing entrance does not establish access to the space behind the house.
