Speaking to a condominium landscaper

How do I speak descriptively to the landscaper for the condo. As an example: "Please prune the arborvitae so that it is wider."

Ok:
Podar is the word used for pruning plants. It will take time and patience to make the plant grow wider, I fear. La poda estimula la formación de yemas y hay que saber como y cuando hacer la poda.

my community is individual small homes for seniors with a fellow who does all of the landscaping and mowing on the common areas and is paid extra by individuals to mow their lawn and weed etc. He does not speak English and I wish to learn to speak to him - gramusa, Dec 24, 2013

Could you please explain, what is a condominium landscaper?
A JCB?
I'm stumped, it makes no sense to me, whatsoever.

In this case it's the gardener, mow the lawn (cut the grass), trim the bushes, pull the weeds. But what does JCB stand for ? - dennywells, Dec 23, 2013
What is a condominium? A mobile home? - annierats, Dec 23, 2013
it's like an apartment building (flats) with each unit privately owned. - dennywells, Dec 23, 2013

Can be anywhere from two to hundreds of individual housing units all built together in the same building with each one with having a different owner instead of being rented. - dennywells, Dec 23, 2013
Thank you. I think we call them flats. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013
Just curious, with 'flats' in England, is each flat individually owned, or does one person own the whole building and rent the flats to others? Maybe both conditions are possible. - dennywells, Dec 23, 2013
Mostly tehy are individually owned. But some are rented,or council owned and rented. - annierats, Dec 23, 2013
Interesante. Over here condos are always sold individually, even though they are all in the same building. They have stricter building codes than apartments for sound proofing, etc. But normally just one gardener for all landscaping :) - dennywells, Dec 23, 2013
People who can afford gardeners don't live in flats here..Flats seldom have gardens! - annierats, Dec 23, 2013
Usually the occupants of the condos are forced to pay a monthly fee to the "home owner's association" that pays for the gardeners. - dennywells, Dec 24, 2013
JCB? May have been a typo. I do not recall doing it. It means nothing as you say. - gramusa, Dec 24, 2013
Not all condos are in one building. Some may be homes grouped within a wall or fence so that the gardens are communally owned and paid for by monthly fee. - gramusa, Dec 24, 2013
