Ask what has been completed

Hire a gardener for the size and routine of your garden

A small paved courtyard with pots needs a different schedule from a lawn with beds, hedges and mature trees. Tell Staffly which areas need regular care, what tools you have and how often you want visits. For Islamabad and Rawalpindi, include the sector, society or phase so a candidate can assess reporting time and travel.

Regular maintenance or a separate garden project?

For routine maintenance, describe watering, weeding, lawn care, pruning within the worker’s skills and cleanup. A redesign, irrigation installation, large tree removal or specialist treatment is a different scope. Do not assume a regular gardener’s salary includes materials, construction or hazardous tree work. Explain who will remove garden waste and who approves purchases.

Compare a part-time visit with a full-time appointment

Measure the work rather than the title: planted area, number of pots, lawn size, access to water and seasonal tasks. A visit arrangement needs an agreed frequency and duration; a full-time role needs a realistic daily duty list. If you also want general household help, list those tasks separately and check that the combined workload fits the paid hours.

What to assess during the interview

Walk around the garden together. Ask the candidate to identify immediate priorities, explain how they would manage watering and describe the tools they can safely use. A paid practical assessment can show careful handling and cleanup without asking someone to undertake dangerous work. Discuss experience with the plants you actually have rather than relying on broad claims about landscaping.

Keep plants, supplies and wages separate

Agree the employee’s pay, Staffly’s one-time placement fee and any material budget separately. Keep receipts for approved purchases and record completed work. Review the replacement conditions for a permanent placement before confirming it; one-off garden projects need their own written scope. Confirm current candidate availability with our team.

What Our Gardeners Actually Handle

Routine garden upkeep with a defined visit or employment schedule.

Lawn mowing and edging
Plant care and seasonal planting
Garden tool maintenance
Watering schedules

Describe the site and visit schedule

List lawn, beds, pots and other planted areas, along with watering access and the tools available. Explain whether you want routine upkeep or a one-off improvement project. Describe the frequency and length of visits rather than asking only for a monthly price. The candidate needs to understand cleanup, disposal and access arrangements as well as plant care. Large tree work and specialist landscaping should be discussed as separate tasks.

Assess observation and planning

Walk through the garden together and ask the candidate to suggest priorities for the first visit. Look for questions about watering, light and previous maintenance rather than an immediate proposal to replace everything. A short paid trial can show careful use of tools, tidiness and ability to follow instructions. Do not ask someone to demonstrate hazardous work as an interview test. Confirm any specialist skills required for equipment before use.

Agree materials and ongoing records

Keep a simple list of completed work and future tasks. Decide who approves plants, soil products and other purchases, with receipts for agreed spending. Store tools securely and explain household access boundaries. Children and pets may affect the timing and method of work, so include those considerations in the brief. Review the visit schedule when the workload changes rather than assuming the same duties fit every season.

Salary, agency fee and next steps

Describe your gardeners requirement to Staffly with the location, working days, hours and budget. Any published salary is a planning guide; confirm the offer for the actual duties and candidate experience. The employee’s wage is separate from Staffly’s standard one-time placement fee, which equals one month of the agreed salary.

Read the six-month replacement conditions in the written agreement, including how to report a problem and request support. Candidate availability and the start date need confirmation. Employers can call 0334 1041114 Monday–Saturday, 9 AM–6 PM Pakistan time. Job applicants should apply through Staffly Jobs.
