Steps
- Note the garden: size, lawn, hedges, borders, trees, and what the client wants.
- Run the prompt below.
- Adjust timings for your region and this year's weather.
- Share the plan with the client with your price per visit.
The exact prompt
Create a 12-month maintenance plan for a [UK] garden in [region]. Garden: [lawn size, hedges and species, borders, trees, features]. Visits: [e.g. fortnightly Mar-Oct, monthly Nov-Feb], [X] hours per visit. Output a month-by-month table of tasks (mowing, edging, hedge cutting, pruning, feeding, leaf clearance etc.). Note any task with legal or wildlife timing issues (e.g. hedge cutting in nesting season) as [CHECK BIRDS]. Don't recommend chemicals unless I say I use them.
✓ Check before you send
- Timings suit your region.
- Hedge cutting avoids active nests.
- Visit hours are realistic for the tasks.
UK notes extra
- It's an offence to intentionally take, damage or destroy a wild bird's nest while it's being used or built, so check hedges before cutting, especially in spring and summer. GOV.UK: wild birds, protection, surveys and licences (England).
