Gardeners in Bristol: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners:

You’re generally responsible for your garden’s upkeep. If you're hiring a gardener, there are no legal hoops. Just make sure to:

1. Confirm what’s included in the quote
2. Check waste removal is covered
3. Keep a record of costs for your own budgeting

For renters:

Responsibility depends on your tenancy agreement. If it states you must maintain the garden, a one-off or regular service might be a good idea. Some renters split gardening costs with housemates or neighbours with shared gardens. If the work involves structural changes or large landscaping jobs, speak to your landlord or letting agent before hiring.

Sometimes, garden jobs can’t wait. You might need urgent help after a storm, before a house sale, or for safety reasons (like clearing overgrown pathways or fallen branches).

Urgent jobs might include:

• Storm damage clean up

• Fallen trees or large branches
• Last minute tidy ups for viewings or events
