According to Checkatrade, the average gardening job in London costs £417. Daily rates for professional gardeners reach up to £400. The Gardeners' Guild 2026 survey puts the UK average for experienced gardeners at £46.70 per hour.
Our garden maintenance sessions work out at £55 per hour for a 3-hour session. That includes an award-winning gardener who brings professional tools, takes before and after photos, and leaves a handwritten plan for your garden's next session.
Most gardening companies turn up, do the work, and leave. We do things differently. Every visit includes things that other gardeners simply do not offer.
More beautiful flowers, not just a tidy garden. Your gardener Josh prunes the right plant at the right time to encourage more flowering. That is what Urban Bloom Gardening is all about. Most gardeners do not have this level of horticultural knowledge.
A space you actually want to spend time in. Imagine having friends over in a beautiful garden this summer, or simply sitting outside in a tranquil space where you can reconnect with nature. That is what we create for you.
A garden that works with nature. We create log piles for wildlife, encourage wild corners, and never use chemicals. Your garden becomes part of the local ecosystem, not just a patch of green.
A handwritten plan for next time. Left after every visit with what we would do next session. Your garden has a progression plan, not just a maintenance routine.
Your garden is guaranteed to be cleaner than when we found it. After every visit, we use the leaf blower to clear all pathways, clean up your patio areas, and remove all the debris from fallen leaves, bits of tree, and anything lodged in corners or drains. You come home to a garden that looks and feels cared for.
Book regular garden maintenance and save. We offer package deals for monthly and quarterly visits that reward commitment and keep your garden looking its best year-round.
Regular visits also mean less work each session. A garden that is maintained monthly stays manageable, so you get more value from every 3-hour session compared to letting it build up between one-off visits.

Garden size. Larger gardens need more time. A 3-hour maintenance session suits most SE London gardens. If yours is larger, you can add hours at £55 each on the day.
Current condition. An overgrown garden that has not been touched in years will need a clearance session (£299) before regular maintenance. Once cleared, ongoing maintenance keeps it manageable.
Services needed. A simple lawn mow, weed, and tidy is part of the standard 3-hour session. If you also want lawn restoration (scarification and overseeding), that is a separate outcome-priced service from £249.
Frequency. One-off visits, monthly, quarterly, or weekly. The more regularly you book, the less work is needed each visit and the better your garden looks year-round.

Our 3-hour garden maintenance sessions are £165, which works out at £55 per hour. Additional hours are £55 each. According to Checkatrade, the average gardening job in London costs £417. The Gardeners' Guild 2026 survey puts the UK average for experienced gardeners at £46.70 per hour.
No. No travel charges anywhere in South East London. We cover 18 areas including Dulwich, Peckham, Forest Hill, Brockley, Brixton, Greenwich, Bromley, Beckenham, and more.
Yes. If more work is needed during your session, you can add hours at £55 each with no hassle. Just let your gardener know on the day.
It depends on the current state of your garden. If it is very overgrown, a clearance session (£299) creates a clean slate first. If it is already manageable, you can go straight to maintenance (£165).
You can, but professional tools make a big difference. Our electric scarifier, 30kg roller, and seed spreader produce results that DIY methods cannot match. A single professional lawn care visit (£249) gives better results than a weekend of DIY work.
