How much do garden watering services cost?

The cost of gardening watering services will depend on several factors including your location, the scale of the job, and whether any other garden tasks need tackling too.

What time of day should you water garden plants?

The best time of day to water garden plants is early morning. As the sun comes up, the plants will start to use water. Failing that, water your plants in the evening, but never in the midday sun - the water will evaporate more quickly.

How often should you water garden plants?

As a general rule, most outdoor plants like to be watered once a week. Checking the soil is a good way to tell - if the soil feels dry, it's normally time to water.

However, there are some exceptions...

• Young plants, those in pots, or in a greenhouse will need watering every day or two

• Any bedding plants with a shallow root system or veggies will benefit from a weekly drench

• Hardy varieties, including clematis and roses, only need watering once a fortnight

• Mature shrubs and trees can fend for themselves!
