Gardening na estate requirement for most premium Lagos neighborhood. Lekki, Ikoyi, and Ikeja GRA estate enforce compound maintenance standard. Part-time gardener (1-2 days/week, ₦15,000-₦40,000/month) handle dis.
For practice, to hire gardener for Lagos na the climate and the arrangement dey shape am. During the long rainy season everything dey grow fast, so lawn, hedge and bed wey look tidy one week go overgrow the next — na why many house dey move from occasional call-out to regular weekly or fortnightly visit, or small monthly retainer, once dem get garden wey worth to keep. Agree upfront whether tool, fuel for mower and to carry the cuttings comot dey included, get clear scope (mowing, weeding, pruning, planting), and treat reliable gardener wey dey show on schedule as person wey you go keep, since consistency na the hardest part to find. The best way to find one na referral from neighbour or estate wey already dey use am, instead of to gamble on stranger.
One more thing: for the rainy season especially, agree how often the visit go happen before the grass take over, because to let am overgrow finish means the gardener go charge you more to cut am back than the regular small-small upkeep for cost. Steady rhythm dey cheaper than to fix wahala.
