In short. Before someone comes to weed and water in Fez, settle what will already be on site: tools, a water point, containers. Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with an independent professional, with a free personalised quote and payment after the service. The answers below save a second trip.
Who brings what?
Four things are best settled in writing from the start:
- basic tools: yours or the professional's;
- water: a tap, a cistern or a tank to fill;
- bags, and where the garden waste goes;
- any clothing or protection you would like to see used.
Send the request from the weeding and watering page. You receive proposals and choose. Adom connects; the professional stays independent, and no price is displayed: the quote is free and personalised on AdomApp.
What tools does weeding take?
It depends on what grows and where. Between courtyard paving, a scraper or a joint knife is enough. In a flower bed, a hand hoe or cultivator fork does the job, with a bucket for the pulled weeds. A grassy corner calls for longer-handled tools. You do not have to supply all of this: say what you already own and let the professional tell you what they bring.
One thing is worth asking up front: with or without weedkiller? If you would rather avoid chemicals, write it in the request; if a product is used, ask which one and where it will be kept, away from children and pets.
How do I water without a hose?
It all comes down to the water point. With an outdoor tap, a hose is enough, perhaps with a fitting. Without one, the water has to be carried in: watering cans, jerrycans, a tank or a large tub. Check two simple things before the appointment: does the tap work, and how far does the hose reach? Describe both in a few words instead of assuming the professional will guess.
On a balcony or terrace, watering cans and a spare container stand in for the hose. What matters is knowing what is already there.
How does the kit reach the garden?
In Fez the medina is pedestrian-only, and a truck cannot enter it. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. If your garden or courtyard is inside it, explain how to get there on foot so the professional can bring equipment that is easy to carry. Wherever you live, just describe the way in: street, door, floor, any stairs.
