A gardener handles mowing, trimming, weeding, pruning, planting, and soil care. Work can also include hedge cutting, lawn feeding, pest checks, and small landscaping fixes like levelling a border or replacing broken edging. Ask for a written list of tasks before the first visit so you can compare quotes fairly.
Lawn scalping happens when mower blades sit too low. Yellow patches often mean overwatering or poor drainage. Hedge dieback follows repeated cuts into old wood. Agree on cut heights, watering rules, and which plants should not be touched. A simple walk-through at the start prevents most disputes later.
Mowing a 200 m² lawn takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Trimming a 10 m hedge takes 45 to 60 minutes. Weeding a flower bed of 20 m² takes around 1 hour. A full seasonal clean-up in autumn for a small garden usually takes 4 to 6 hours with 1 or 2 workers.
Solo gardeners usually charge less per hour but may lack insurance, backup staff, or machinery for big jobs. Companies bring teams, public liability cover, and replacement workers if someone is sick. For a single small garden, a solo pro is often enough. For large or multi-visit contracts, a company gives more reliability.
Green waste can double the time of a job. Ask whether clippings, branches, and weeds are taken away or left in a compost area. Most pros include removal in the price or charge a small fee per bag. Paths, patios, and driveways should be swept or blown clean before the team leaves.
Expect a professional to bring sharp, well-kept tools: shears, secateurs, loppers, a leaf blower, and a mower with a grass collector. For larger work they may use a strimmer, hedge cutter, or scarifier. Dull blades tear the grass and damage plants, so ask when tools were last sharpened.
Most domestic gardens need a visit every 2 weeks in spring and summer, and every 4 to 6 weeks in autumn and winter. Lawns grow fastest between April and August, so weekly cuts are common. Shrub beds and hedges need 3 to 4 trims per year to stay tidy and healthy.
Regular visits need a short written agreement covering scope, frequency, price, and notice period. A 30 day cancellation term is standard. One-off jobs need a fixed quote, not an estimate. Ask what happens if plants die after pruning. A responsible gardener will replace clearly damaged stock at no cost.
Spring: soil feeding, lawn reseeding, rose pruning. Summer: regular mowing, watering checks, pest control. Autumn: leaf removal, bulb planting, cutting back perennials. Winter: tool servicing, tree inspections, mulch renewal. Booking 4 weeks ahead helps during busy months like April and October.
Most gardeners price by the hour or per visit. Hourly rates vary by region and experience. The total depends on garden size, slope, access, overgrowth level, and waste volume. Ask if fuel, tools, and disposal fees are included. A clear scope of work prevents surprise charges when the invoice arrives.
