Robert

James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

Joanne

Excellent service. Hard working, polite, professional team. Lovely job. Would recommend.

What does garden maintenance include?

Garden maintenance can encompass a wide range of tasks to ensure your garden looks its best throughout the year. Services typically include:

  • Lawn mowing and edging for a neat appearance.
  • Weeding to keep flower beds and lawns clear of unwanted plants.
  • Trimming and pruning of shrubs, hedges, and trees to encourage healthy growth and shape.
  • Garden cleared of leaves and debris, particularly important in autumn.
  • For gardens with fruit trees or bushes, proper pruning is essential.
  • Seasonal planting of bedding plants and bulbs to keep the garden vibrant.
  • Application of top dressing and mulching to protect and nourish the soil.
  • Lawn treatments and repairs to address any issues and promote lush growth.

Depending on your garden’s specific needs, garden maintenance can also include more specialised tasks such as large hedge cutting, fence and garden wall maintenance, and tree management.

What do gardeners charge per hour?

While specific costs can vary, here’s a general guide to help you budget:

  • Basic Lawn Care and Maintenance: Starting from £15 to £30 per hour
  • Professional Gardening Services: Ranging from £20 to £50 per hour, depending on the complexity and specialisation of the work

For accurate pricing tailored to your garden’s specific needs, it’s best to obtain quotes from several local garden maintenance services. This approach allows you to compare rates and find the best fit for your budget and garden care requirements.

How do I know if the job has been done well?

A well-maintained garden should exhibit:

  • Evenly mowed lawns with neat edges.
  • Absence of visible weeds in beds and lawns.
  • Healthy, correctly pruned plants according to their species requirements.
  • Overall tidiness, including managed fences and larger trees, if applicable.

At Rated People, you can rely on reviews from other homeowners to gauge the quality of work provided by our garden maintenance specialists. Our local gardeners guide also offers insights into essential questions to ask your gardener to ensure your expectations are met.

Other garden maintenance FAQs

How often should a gardener come?

The frequency of garden maintenance visits depends on your garden’s size and requirements. Some gardens may only need monthly visits, while others might benefit from weekly attention.

Do gardeners bring their own lawnmowers?

Most professional gardeners will bring their own equipment, including lawnmowers, to each job. However, this should be confirmed with your gardener beforehand.

How much do gardeners charge for weeding?

Charges for weeding can vary depending on the garden’s size and the weeding extent required. This task is typically included in the gardener’s hourly rate, but specific projects may be quoted separately.

Andrea and his team were excellent. He is very reliable, efficient and hard working. He made a very challenging job look easy and did some extra things for me that weren’t included in the quote, without charging extra. He got back to me quickly and the whole job took less than 2 weeks from me posting to completion. I would definitely recommend this company and I’m sure I will ask him to do other jobs for me.

Couldn't be happier with the work that David and Chris carried out. They completely transformed our garden and gave valuable input into the design as it progressed. They put in some serious hard graft to get the job completed in the timeframe they gave and the price we were quoted is exactly what we paid. They left the place clean and tidy as well. Absolutely would recommend, thanks guys..

Great communication, discussed the job and priced it up based on coming to see the exact task and likely duration. Incredibly helpful, didn't just do the job, but helped me move furniture etc. too.

Spencer at Pocock Developments project managed our work very well. From the fully detailed quote, to advising on any pricing changes and providing some extra plastering work - got to say everything was managed smoothly and transparently, and the one hiccup over the roof tiles was put right quickly. Plus we appreciated Myron and Ivan's eye for detail and managing their work around the weather. Our two dormers look great, so thanks Pocock Development and we'd definitely use them again ????
