FAQ

Good to know

Do I need to provide tools?

Yes, please have basic tools and a lawnmower available at your home. Christa will work with what you have.

Can you help while we are away?

Yes. Watering plants and keeping the garden tidy while you travel pairs well with pet and house sitting.

Where do you work?

At homes off base in Stuttgart and the surrounding area. Christa lives downtown and cannot enter US bases without a sponsor, so base housing is not available.

How much does it cost?

General gardening work is €40 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, plus travel time. Big jobs are by quote, so send a photo to help.

Can you do tree work or use heavy machinery?

No. Heavy machinery and tree work are outside what is offered.

Can you do a big yard cleanup?

Yes. A recent example was a friend's backyard with weeds between the concrete and patio stones, cleared and raked up so the whole yard popped.

How long will a job take?

It depends on the yard. Send a photo and Christa will tell you how long it could take.
