What to Look For
- Own equipment in good working condition (mower, trimmer, rake)
- Knowledge of local plants that thrive in Accra's climate
- Consistent, reliable availability for recurring maintenance
- Attention to detail — edging, cleanup, and waste removal
- Reasonable pricing for the compound size
Red Flags to Watch Out For
- Showing up without proper equipment and asking to borrow yours
- Leaving grass clippings and debris without cleaning up
- Damaging plants, pipes, or structures from carelessness
- Unreliable — frequently cancelling or showing up late
Questions to Ask Before Hiring
- Do you bring your own equipment, including fuel?
- What's included — mowing, edging, weeding, cleanup?
- Do you offer weekly or monthly maintenance plans?
- Will you remove the green waste, or should I arrange disposal?
Accra's rainy season (April–July, September–November) means grass grows fast and needs more frequent cuts. Lock in a monthly rate with your gardener during these months rather than paying per visit — it's usually cheaper.
