Imagine stepping outside into a garden full of colour. Beautiful blooms everywhere, healthy thriving plants, a space where you can have friends over for a summer barbecue or just sit quietly and reconnect with nature. That is what proper garden maintenance should give you.

Most gardeners in London charge by the hour, send a different person every time, and leave your garden looking tidy for a week before it goes back to how it was. Nothing improves. We take a completely different approach: the same named gardener every visit, expert pruning that encourages more flowers, planting advice so you stop wasting money on plants that fail, and a handwritten plan so your garden keeps getting better. Your garden is guaranteed to be cleaner than when we found it, every single visit. Here is what it costs.

What £165 Gets You

Your garden is guaranteed to be tidier than when we found it. Every visit, we clear pathways, clean patio areas, and remove all the debris from fallen leaves and anything lodged in corners and drains. That is our promise.

Most gardeners mow the lawn, pull a few weeds, and leave. Your garden looks tidy for a week and then it is back to where it started. Nothing changes, nothing improves.

Our sessions are designed to make your garden more beautiful every single visit. More blooms from proper pruning. Healthier plants from expert care. A space you actually want to spend time in, whether that is a summer barbecue with friends, a quiet morning with a coffee, or just sitting outside in a tranquil space and reconnecting with nature.

What Changes the Cost of Garden Maintenance?

Garden size. Garden maintenance cost is affected by how large your garden is. A 3-hour session suits most SE London gardens. If yours is larger, you can add hours at £55 each on the day.

Current condition. If your garden has not been touched in a while, the first visit takes longer. After that, regular garden maintenance keeps it manageable and you get more value from each session. Garden maintenance prices stay the same regardless of condition.

Frequency. One-off, monthly, quarterly, or weekly. The more regularly you book, the less catching up each visit and the better your garden looks year-round. Package deals available for regular bookings. Ask about gardening services prices for ongoing plans.

Location. The gardener cost does not change based on where you are in SE London. No travel charges anywhere across our 18 areas, from Dulwich and Peckham to Bromley and Beckenham.
