Describe the outcome

State what you want completed, not just that the garden needs work. For example, identify which hedge, which surface or which section of overgrowth is the priority.

Explain access

Mention stairs, narrow passages, internal access, parking restrictions, locked gates, long carries and whether water or electricity is available.

Show scale honestly

Use wide photographs and closer images of difficult areas. Include people-free reference points such as doors, fence panels or paving sizes where helpful.

Identify deadlines and approvals

Explain tenancy dates, inspections, events, site opening hours and who can authorise changes. A clear request produces a more reliable scope and fewer assumptions.
