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.

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.

Frank and his team were professional and efficient throughout. He made interesting suggestions to the design at the outset. They arrived to start the job when agreed and explained how the tasks would be completed. All work was carried out to a high standard, and it was noticeable how organised and tidy they were. The final result is brilliant, exceeding our expectations. We thoroughly recommend Frank and his team.

Mo came and surveyed what was needed. Then quoted. Had a team he said would be fast and thorough.paid 40% deposit He did not discuss and liaise with other trades working on house. This Caused problems. Ended up flooding both up and downstairs with full radiators left on sides draining onto laminate. floors. Floors ruined and had to be removed and I face 8/10k to replace. Broke fibre optics cable. Refused to accept responsibility for any of the errors and mistakes. Dreadful experience and nothing but stress.

Lee and his team did a great job on replacing our roof - scaffolding was up and everything renewed within a few days. Communication was good and we got updates about when the work was happening and when the team would be arriving. They worked almost without stopping each day even though it was freezing weather, left everything tidy and disposed of waste, and showed us pictures of progress and the completed roof. Really happy with their work and it's good to have peace of mind with a big job done.
