Gardening in Singapore spans everything from condo balcony maintenance (S$120-280/visit) to landed landscape redesign (S$25,000-80,000). The critical regulatory check is NParks — for any pruning of protected tree species (Tempura, Angsana, Tembusu), you need an NParks-registered arborist, or the homeowner faces fines up to S$50,000. Weekly garden maintenance doesn't need that level, but tree work always does. KakiList connects you with 254 verified Gardening providers serving the Bukit Timah area.

Yes, for any substantial pruning of species listed as Heritage Trees or protected under the Parks and Trees Act. Common protected species include Tempura, Angsana, and Tembusu. Cutting or severely pruning without NParks approval carries fines up to S\$50,000. Use an NParks-registered arborist for any major tree work — they handle permit applications.
Condo balcony: S\$120-280/visit. Landed 2,000-3,500 sqft garden: S\$280-650/visit (monthly visits typical). Major pruning days (pre/post-monsoon): +S\$400-900. Tree surgery on 10m+ trees: S\$800-2,500 per tree. Landscape redesign for landed: S\$25,000-80,000 depending on scope.
A written plant list (species, quantities), a visual mockup or CAD drawing, a 30-90 day plant establishment warranty (replacement if plants die in first weeks), and itemised cost breakdown covering plants, soil, hardscape, and installation. "We'll see how it looks lah" style approaches produce gardens you end up redoing within 2 years.
Burning garden waste is illegal under NEA regulations in Singapore. Gardeners who burn cuttings on-site expose you to neighbour complaints and NEA fines. Legitimate gardeners remove waste to approved disposal or composting. Asking about disposal method upfront filters out operators taking shortcuts.
Yes — completely different scope. Landed gardens involve lawn care, hedge maintenance, tree care, pest management, fertilisation, and occasional hardscape maintenance. Condo balcony work is potted-plant-focused. Gardeners specialising in one typically underperform on the other. For landed, pick gardeners with landed portfolio; for condos, specialists in container gardening.
