Local gardeners & gardening companies
What can a local gardener help with?
If you’re looking for someone to take care of your garden property maintenance tasks, such as trimming shrubs or getting your lawn mowed, then you’ll need the help of a gardener.
If, on the other hand, you want to upgrade your garden by getting a new patio, deck or pergola installed, then you’ll need the services of a local garden landscaper.
| Jobs gardeners can do | Jobs garden landscapers can do |
| Planting, pruning and weed control | Laying decking or paving |
| Lawn care and lawn treatments | Laying new artificial grass or Astro turf |
| Hedge trimming or hedge cutting (removal) | Adding a water feature |
| Pressure washing outdoor spaces | Adding a pergola or trellis |
| Installing soil irrigation or drainage | Installing a fence, gate or garden wall |
| General garden maintenance | Garden design |
Gardeners tend to be busier during the summer months when the weather’s good and everyone’s spending more time outdoors. It’s a good idea to hire your gardener or landscape gardener before the summer rush. You’ll be more likely to get a better rate for the work if you do.
If you know you’ll need their services regularly, you can also hire a gardener to carry out repeat gardening work like lawn mowing. Some gardeners may also offer deals for repeat work, so make sure to ask.
If you’re looking to improve your home’s kerb appeal by getting a new driveway installed, then you’ll need the help of a driveway specialist. Or, if you need tree services such as a tree removal, then contact a local tree surgeon.

The cost of gardening services can vary based on several factors:
- The size of your garden: Larger gardens generally require more time and effort, and therefore cost more to maintain and upgrade
- Your location: Where you live in the UK has an impact on labour costs
- Your choice of materials: If you plan to use premium plants or materials, this will have an impact on the overall cost
The average cost of garden landscaping projects in 2023 is:
- Between £1,500 and £15,000 for a garden deck
- Between £1,100 and £7,200 for a garden patio
- Between £1,000 and £5,200 for a garden fence
Or, if you’re looking to hire a gardener, you can expect to pay between £25 and £40 an hour, depending on where you live in the UK.

- Decking that covers more than 50% of your total garden area
- Garden fences that are over two metres high

Great communication from this trader from star to the end of the job. Even it wasn't Ivan completed job in person, he kept me informed and checked during the day if everything was all right. Plesent to discuss and negotiate. Many thanks!
I do not usually leave reviews but to protect other customers this is a review worth leaving. Please do not use this builder, he was incompetent and did not manage to complete any of the works to a suitable standard. On top of this he fitted a new tap on my bath tub but did not connect the waste pipe and as a result caused a leak which effected the apartment below. Tiling and shower door were not fitted correctly and these were straight forward jobs and have to be redone.
