Garden maintenance and upkeep
Gardening Services
Gardening services cover routine garden maintenance — lawn care, hedge and shrub trimming, bed weeding and general tidying — either as a one-off tidy-up or an ongoing arrangement. Lawn mowing can be booked and paid for online by lawn size.
Definition
What Gardening covers
Garden maintenance keeps an existing garden in good order: mowing and edging lawns, trimming hedges and shrubs, weeding beds, and seasonal tidying. It's a different service to landscaping, which covers design and construction of new garden spaces. Lawn mowing is priced in three simple size tiers — small, medium and large — so you can book and pay online without waiting for a quote; hedge trimming, bed maintenance and one-off tidy-ups are still arranged directly.
Suitable for
- Regular lawn mowing, bookable online by lawn size — weekly, fortnightly or monthly
- Regular hedge trimming, arranged directly
- One-off garden tidy-ups, including overgrown gardens
- General bed maintenance and weeding
Not suitable for
- Tree felling or work on protected trees, which needs a qualified arborist and, for protected trees, local authority consent
- Full garden redesign or hard landscaping — see our landscaping service for that

FAQs
Gardening FAQs
Do you offer ongoing garden maintenance contracts?
Yes, we can agree a regular visit schedule for lawn care and general maintenance, alongside one-off tidy-ups. Lawn mowing on a repeating schedule can also be booked and paid for online.
How is lawn mowing priced?
Lawn mowing is priced in three size tiers — small, medium and large — shown with current prices when you book online. If you're not sure which size fits your garden, a rough guide is shown alongside each option, or get in touch and we'll advise.
Can I book lawn mowing on a repeating schedule, like every other week?
Yes — when booking online you can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly mowing and pick how many visits to book in one go, so it's set up for the season rather than booked visit by visit.
