Trimming hedges and shrubs
Edging lawns and borders
Raking leaves and leaf clearance
General pruning and garden clean-up
Choose a package that suits your needs and budget:
| Tidy-Up Duration (based on 1x gardener or 2x for half the time) | Package Price |
|---|---|
| 2 hours | £80 |
| 4 hours | £150 |
| 8 hours | £280 |
| 12 hours | £420 |
| 16 hours | £540 |
Each tidy-up includes as much general garden maintenance as we can complete in the time. It’s a great way to kickstart your garden makeover or prepare for a special occasion. We recommend the 4-hour tidy-up as a popular starting point for most gardens – it offers enough time to make a noticeable difference at a great value.
Keep your garden looking its best all year with regular maintenance. Schedule weekly or fortnightly visits and never worry about falling behind on garden chores. Our maintenance service covers routine tasks like mowing, weeding, edging, trimming, and seasonal plant care, so your outdoor space stays tidy and healthy.
Enjoy discounted rates when you book recurring visits. The more frequent the service, the more you save:
| Visit Duration | One-off | Fortnightly | Weekly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 hour | £40 | £35 | £30 |
| 1.5 hours | £55 | £50 | £45 |
| 2 hours | £70 | £65 | £60 |
| 3 hours | £100 | £95 | £90 |
| 4 hours | £130 | £125 | £120 |
Recurring plan discounts: Fortnightly bookings get £5 off each visit, and weekly bookings get £10 off each visit (discount reflected in prices above). For example, a 2-hour weekly visit costs £60 instead of £70. You’ll enjoy a lower hourly rate and a consistently pristine garden.
Have a specific project or a larger job in mind? We offer a range of gardening services beyond regular upkeep and tidy-ups. Whether it’s landscaping, planting a new flower bed, power-washing patios, fence repairs, or any other custom job, we can help.
Most specialty services are priced hourly between £30-£40 per hour, depending on the job type and duration. Any additional costs for materials or equipment (if needed for your project) will be discussed upfront. We always provide a clear quote before starting on these jobs, so you know exactly what to expect.
Need us to take the clippings away? We can dispose of your green waste at the same time as your tidy-up or maintenance visit. Our fees are based on volume and weight, with a clear minimum charge so there are never any surprises:
Black bin bags – approx 100 L (max 15 kg each) — £7.50 per bag
Large bulk bags – approx 500 L (max 100 kg each) — £25 per bag
Overall minimum charge for any collection: £30
Mix of bag sizes or more than 12 bags? No problem — the online form will calculate the price automatically, or you can ask your gardener on-site and we’ll adjust the total before checkout.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about our services and booking process:
Our pricing is straightforward and transparent. We charge for the time our gardeners spend working in your garden. For one-off sessions like Garden Tidy-Ups or occasional maintenance, the hourly rate ranges from about £32 to £40, with longer sessions being better value (see our package rates above). Regular maintenance plans are even more cost-effective – the per-hour price drops when you book recurring weekly or fortnightly visits. The more hours or the more frequently you book, the lower the effective hourly rate.
All prices include labour and use of own tools & machinery. If any extra materials are needed (for example, soil or plants you want us to provide), we’ll let you know the cost beforehand.
A Garden Tidy-Up is a fixed-time service where our gardener will do as much as possible within the booked hours. This typically includes general maintenance tasks: mowing the lawn, weeding flowerbeds, trimming hedges and shrubs, edging borders, raking leaves, and a general garden clean-up. It’s ideal for sprucing up your garden or tackling a build-up of chores in one go.
On the other hand, a quoted job refers to specialized or larger projects that might not fit into a simple hourly session. For example, landscaping a new lawn, introducing new plants, or reducing an overgrown hedge would be quoted separately. These projects often require planning, materials, or multiple days of work. We still price such jobs transparently – usually using our standard hourly rates (around £30–£40/hour) – but we’ll provide a detailed quote up front. That way, you know the total cost and scope before any work begins.
Once you complete our easy online booking form, you’ll receive a confirmation of your request. Our team will then match you with the best available gardener for your needs in your area (Bournemouth, Poole, or Christchurch). We may give you a quick call if we need more details about your garden or the work requested. For straightforward services like a tidy-up or regular maintenance visit, we’ll simply confirm the appointment date and time, and a gardener will arrive as scheduled – fully equipped and briefed on the tasks.
For larger or custom projects, we might first schedule a free assessment visit or phone consultation. During that assessment, the gardener will evaluate your garden and discuss your goals. After that, we’ll provide a no-obligation quote and plan for the work. In every case, you’ll know what to expect next. Our goal is to keep the process simple and hassle-free for you.
To maximize value, we recommend starting with a 4-hour Garden Tidy-Up if your garden hasn’t been professionally tended in a while. This package is priced at just £150, giving you an excellent hourly rate and enough time to make a big impact. During that session, our gardener can tackle multiple tasks and really transform your space. Giving you an opportunity to see what we can achieve within a certain time and to ensure you are happy with our standard of work before committing to a longer visit or regular maintenance if required.
Many customers find that after a thorough tidy-up, switching to a regular maintenance plan (weekly, fortnightly, 4-weekly) keeps their garden in great shape and actually saves money in the long run by preventing any big overgrowth problems. Also, by committing to a regular schedule, you benefit from the discounted rates on each visit. In summary: start with a one-time deep tidy to reset your garden, then maintain that progress cost-effectively with routine visits.
