FAQs

Do gardeners need a licence?

Gardeners who perform simple gardening tasks like general garden care and maintenance don’t need a licence. Some gardeners offer additional services like landscaping, structural landscaping, lawn mowing and maintenance and for some of those, gardeners should have some relevant professional training.

What time can gardeners start work?

Gardeners can start to work from 7 am to 6 pm. Lawn mowing can be done during the day but should not be done before 7 am or after 10 pm. If the gardening project involves any construction project, the working hours can extend to 8 pm only when the permitted noise is reduced. The gardeners must take into consideration the acceptable noise no matter where they operate in New Zealand.

Do gardeners work in the rain?

Yes, gardeners can work in the rain. Many gardening activities can continue during light showers. But some specific gardening tasks can’t take place during any rainy season, like mowing the lawn. During summer, even with a heavy downpour, the ground quickly dries up, and gardeners can resume their activities. However, the gardeners in New Zealand will have to postpone the project until the next day when the ground is very saturated with water after rainfall.

What does garden maintenance include?

In New Zealand, garden maintenance generally involves various key gardening activities such as weeding, lawn mowing and edging, trimming, and pruning branches. These activities can change according to the season.
