Excellent job done would recommend
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.

- 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.

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.

After a week or so of back and forth as they kept cancelling, they sent 2 young lads who had 0 to little experience. Most of the work will need redone. They created alot of mess and had to use my ladders for some of the work which was not very professional and took 2 days for a few hrs of work as they couldn't do it. Their manager was very apologetic but still charged £500 for the "work" Terrible experience.
I set up Mark Shields Garden and Landscape Services last year, previous to this I worked for a large landscaping company for many years, I offer a affordable, reliable service and an overall professional approach to all work I undertake.
Mark and Aaron did a great job. The garden was like a swamp before they started, they had sub zero temperatures, ice, snow and frozen turf to deal with but it was finished to a high standard and on time, they cleared everything up after they had finished and took all the rubbish away. Would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Graham fixed my outdoor Christmas lights, but we didn’t test them before he left. I specifically requested roof gutter lights, which required a tall ladder. Later, the gutter lights didn’t work. After paying a significant amount, I politely asked Graham to return. His shocking response was that he couldn’t come until Tuesday, there’d be an extra charge, and suggested I ask a neighbor or window cleaner. His lack of empathy and care was disappointing. I wouldn’t recommend him due to his indifferent attitude.
