Find a local, reliable landscaping service
Want a garden that’s the envy of your entire neighbourhood? A skilled garden landscaping service can help you achieve this. They’ll upgrade your garden and turn it into a liveable space, so you can enjoy your outdoor areas, year round.
What a garden landscaping service can help you with
Looking to upgrade your garden with a new patio, garden deck or even a shaded pergola? Or maybe you’re redoing your whole garden and need help with garden design tips for your garden transformation? A garden landscaper can help you out. They offer a range of services, including:
| Jobs garden landscapers can do |
| Laying decking or paving |
| Laying new artificial grass or Astro turf |
| Adding a water feature |
| Adding a pergola or trellis |
| Patio installations |
| Installing a fence, gate or garden wall |
| Garden design |
If, on the other hand, you’re looking for garden maintenance services, such as trimming shrubs or getting your lawn mowed, then you’ll need the help of a gardener.
Professional landscape 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 garden landscaping company before the summer rush. You’ll be more likely to get a better rate for the work if you do.
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.
Factors to consider when choosing a garden landscaper
It’s really important that you choose a reliable garden landscaping service to carry out work on your garden. Failing to do this can result in stress and expensive repairs.
Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your landscapers:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the garden landscaping services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other local landscaping companies
A local landscape contractor is more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

How much does it cost to hire a garden landscaping service?
The cost of hard landscaping and other gardening services can vary based on several factors:
- The size of your garden: Larger gardens generally require more time and effort to plan for and renovate, and therefore cost more to 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.

Planning permission for garden landscaping jobs
Planning permission is sometimes needed for garden landscaping projects such as decking, fencing, garden walls, and gates.
Projects that often require planning permission include:
- Paving your front garden or turning it into a driveway
- Decking that covers more than 50% of your total garden area
- Garden fences that are over two metres high
For more information on when you’ll need to apply for permission for garden projects, read our planning permission guide or visit the Planning Portal website.
Questions to ask a garden landscaping service
How many years of experience do you have?
Knowing how many years of experience your garden specialist has will allow you to pick a gardener or landscape gardener who you are confident has enough expertise to carry out a high quality job. When you’re finding a garden specialist through Rated People, head over to their profile to check out the pictures on their work gallery and their ratings and reviews.
How much will the job cost?
Asking how much the job will cost will help you budget for the job and ensure price transparency before you hire. How much you’ll end up spending depends on the scope of your project, and where you live in the UK, so make sure you add plenty of details when you post a job.
How long will the job take?
Knowing what your project’s estimated timeline is will help you set realistic expectations about how long your garden renovation will take to complete.
Are you licensed and insured?
Make sure to ask your garden landscaper what insurance they have before you hire. This will protect both parties and ensure you hire a qualified tradesperson. Gardeners need a waste carrier license in order to remove garden waste from your property. Whilst it’s not a requirement, it’s a good idea for your garden landscaping specialist to also have public liability insurance to cover you and them against any accidental damage or personal injuries.

Very pleased with the work that Adrian did for us. He has a great work ethic and insisted on fixing other little jobs for no extra cost. We were particularly impressed with him managing to attach the bath panel flush with the bath given that the frame would have had it poking out. He fixed that brilliantly. Thank you Adrian! Will definitely call on his expertise again.

Great communication, hassle-free process: fast survey/ quote appointment, job (laminate installation) completed a couple of days later, thorough cleaning afterwards. Cordial people and old-school tradesmen - I would definitely use them again.

My name is Simon and I possess over 12 years experience within landscaping. As such, I take pride in all the work i carry out, to ensure my work, maintains a meticulous high standard of quality
Simon and his worker were very helpful, polite always on time. Simon listened to what we wanted and offered his advice , we even had to change dates due to waiting for products to arrive . Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend him to do any work required. We changed our mind on the design and opted for artificial grass instead of stones, which was going to fit ourselves, he even offered to come and help us free of charge , if we got into any problems .
