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.

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.

Contractors made arrangements to call, arrived on time, they seemed very nice & efficient; however we did not receive a quote as promised, when I queried it; he apologized saying he thought he had emailed me to say it would be late as he had broken his collarbone. Then I received a text saying he wasn't going to quote as he was off sick for 6 weeks, so unfortunately we are unable to rate his work...
