Find a local gardener
Regular garden maintenance is usually far cheaper than rescuing a garden that's been left for two years. Most gardeners prefer a recurring visit and will price accordingly.
What gardeners do
Gardeners handle mowing, hedge cutting, pruning, weeding, border care, seasonal tidies and green waste removal, on one-off or recurring visits.
Typical gardener jobs

Gardeners FAQs
How much does a gardener cost per hour?
Typically £20–£40 per hour in the UK, or £30–£60 for a standard mowing visit. Green waste disposal is usually charged separately.
When should hedges be cut?
Avoid cutting between March and August where nesting birds may be present — it is an offence to damage an active nest. Late summer and early autumn are safest for most hedges.
Do gardeners do tree work?
Light pruning yes; anything requiring climbing, chainsaws at height or large limbs should go to a qualified arborist.
