Gardening contracts are often let on the basis that the contractor will maintain the gardens, rather than on an hourly basis.
The price is a yearly figure, paid every month. Some months they spend a lot of time,some months little.
An alternative is to pay the contractor by the hour. You can be sure that they will maximise the hours to maximise the pay.
There is no right or wrong contract to have. Each form has its pros and cons for the vendor and the purchaser.
I understand it’s hard to see someone paid for work you did for free previously. But perhaps it’s better to enjoy the time that has been freed up for you.
