What does a gardener do?

Step 1: Garden assessment

Your gardener will begin by checking plant health, lawn condition, and overall maintenance needs.

Step 2: Ongoing care or one-off work

The scope of a gardeners' work might then include mowing, weeding, pruning, planting, and seasonal treatments, depending on your needs.

Step 3: Waste removal and aftercare

As part of the job, green waste is cleared away, and advice may be given on ongoing care.

Some gardeners also specialise in particular areas such as garden design and landscape gardening, so it's always worth asking about the variety of services offered.

Whether you want general gardening help, or a specialist service such as gazebo installers, pond contractors, or tree care, at Checkatrade, we’re here to help.

How much do gardeners charge?

Most reputable gardeners tend to charge in the region of £15 - £45 per hour. However, the cost of gardening services can vary depending on the work required, the size of your garden, and your location.

Garden landscaping, on the other hand, is more likely to be charged on a project basis. Find out more in our garden landscaping cost guide.
