- As an apprentice in garden maintenance, my responsibilities included pulling out weeds and dead plants, pruning trees, stress growth and small branches hanging down. Hedge trimming over grow hedges shaping them into circles or squares, using a push mower and a whipper sniper to snip the areas the mower can't reach. I also use the whipper to edge clean lines around the lawns, we use a rake to pick up leaves, sticks or weeds we've pulled out and put them in a bag and then use a blower to leave the site clean and tidy. My team members have shown me how to safely and effectively use tools, they have shown me to clean and maintenance are tools.
