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:

  1. Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
  2. Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
  3. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
  4. Are offering the garden landscaping services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
  5. 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?

Illustration of two houses with gardens with labels showing how much different garden landscaping projects cost to complete

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.

For more details on garden landscaping costs, check out our garden landscaping cost guide.

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.

Rich and his team were super efficient. Our roof was leaking badly (water coming through the bedroom ceiling) Even though Rich couldn't start working on the roof straight away (due other work commitments) he came on an extremely wet Sunday, put the scaffolding up and did a temporary repair to stop any further damage to the bedroom. I couldn't be more pleased with the work carried out and for a reasonable price.

Daniel and his colleague did a fantastic job with our back garden. They built a new composite deck and raised flower pot, laid new grass, added new trellis panels to our fence and gave new life to our patio tiles with their jet washer. All of this done in only one week. Daniel was very professional and approachable, his communication was excellent and adapted to our needs very well. Would definitely hire again.
