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.

 Gardening services

What can a 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 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 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.

How much do gardeners cost to hire?

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

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. 

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

What should I consider when hiring a gardener?

It’s really important that you choose a reliable gardener or garden landscaping company 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 tradespeople: 

  1. Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects  
  1. Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers 
  1. Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability  
  1. Are offering the garden services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by 
  1. Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other garden landscaping companies

Other gardening FAQs

Do I need planning permission for landscape gardening?

Usually, landscape gardening doesn’t require planning permission, but significant structural changes might. Always check local regulations.

Do I need to be insured for gardening work?

While not always mandatory, having insurance is advisable for gardeners to protect against potential damages or accidents.

Why should I hire a gardener?

Hiring a professional gardener can save time, ensure high-quality work, and bring expert knowledge to your gardening project.

AVOID! Mr Art 13 (father&son) ABANDONED our 7-room project. Started 2 beds and a wetroom that now needs redone. After 10 weeks and 50% of the quote PAID, no room was left usable. Gave constant excuses for delays: “prices doubled,” “faulty pipes,” etc. They told us they DON'T CUT CORNERS and explained how coving screws should be filled and sanded, yet they paint over screws, leaving drips on the walls, flooring laid on an uneven base they poured, tiling on a dirty dusty wall, using unfit materials, etc.

We are a family run company, we have a reputation for excellence and attention to detail, not only in the quality of work we do, but also in the high standard of customer service we provide. You only have to read our ratings on rated people to know that we are competitively priced. But we don't cut any corners - quality and value are what we offer.

John at Quebuild went above and beyond for us on this job. He completed all the work in a timely manner and for a very reasonable price. He was super knowledgeable and extremely attentive to detail, making sure to leave a high quality finish in terms of decoration - and he came back afterwards to address a few small things that needed doing. He was also a pleasure to have around - and I would highly recommend him for any other work. 10/10.
