What we do

Everything a Yorkshire garden needs.

From the weekly mow to the spring overhaul. We work with vetted local gardeners across the region and match each job to the person best placed to do it.

Lawn care

Weekly, fortnightly or one-off mowing. Edging, scarifying and feeding for the gardens that need it.

From £25 / visit

Hedges & borders

Hedge cutting, shape work, border maintenance. The bits that make a garden look properly looked after.

From £30 / hedge

Clearance & tidy

End-of-tenancy clearouts, post-winter wake-ups, rental properties, overgrown jungles. We bring it back.

From £120

Landscaping

Patios, paths, raised beds, fences. Bigger projects connected to local landscapers we trust to do it well.

A note on gardens

A garden isn't a project. It's a relationship.

Yorkshire gardens have a rhythm. The first cut in late March when the grass finally wakes up. The early hedge work before the birds nest. The June borders running riot. The August lawns bleached by heat the south never sees. The autumn tidy when the wind starts coming off the moors. Every garden in this part of the country is on the same calendar, and every one of them needs someone who knows it.

What good gardeners do isn't really about cutting things back. It's about turning up week after week, noticing what's changed, knowing when to leave a patch alone and when to dig it out, remembering that the wisteria needs doing in February and the apple wants pruning in winter. The work is small, regular, considered. It compounds.

This site exists to make that easier to find. Real local gardeners across the region, matched to your postcode, doing the kind of considered week-in-week-out work that turns a patch of grass into a garden you actually want to sit in.

How it works

Four steps, fast response, fair price.

i.

Tell us

A 60-second assessment. Postcode, what you need, when, rough size. Done in less time than it takes to find a phone number.

ii.

We match

Your job goes to the local gardener we trust most for that postcode and that kind of work. Real people, not algorithms.

iii.

They call

Usually the same day — always within 2 working days. They confirm the details, give you a real price (not a placeholder) and book a time that works.

iv.

Job done

They turn up, do the work, you pay them direct. We check in afterwards to make sure it was right.

Where we cover

All across Yorkshire.

West, South, North and East — we work across the whole region, with a focus on the eight towns we know best. If your village isn't on the list, ask anyway — chances are we cover it.

Questions

Things people ask.

How much does a gardener actually cost?

Yorkshire gardeners charge £20–£30 an hour. Most jobs sit in these ranges:

Small garden, one-off mow£25–£40 Medium garden, one-off mow£35–£55 Large detached, one-off mow£50–£85 Regular weekly maintenance£90–£130/mo Regular fortnightly maintenance£60–£100/mo Clearance — small overgrown£120–£250 Clearance — full-day rural£350–£600 Landscaping projectfrom £400

You always get a real quote before work starts — never a "from £X" that creeps up.

What counts as 'overgrown'? When does a tidy turn into a clearance?

Rule of thumb: if the job needs more than a day's labour and skip-style waste removal, it's a clearance.

Tidy

Routine maintenance — weeding, deadheading, light pruning, a once-over.

£40–£80 · 2hr job

Clearance

Months or years of neglect — brambles, dead plants, rubble, old shed parts.

£120–£600+
Are your gardeners insured?

Yes — every gardener in our network carries public liability insurance, typically £1m–£5m cover.

  • Not legally required for self-employed gardeners in the UK, but it's industry standard and any real professional carries it.
  • Specialist work (tree surgery, fencing, paving) gets matched with someone carrying the right additional cover for that specific risk.
  • We ask for proof before a gardener takes any job through us. If a gardener can't show you their insurance — anywhere, not just here — don't hire them.
What about green waste and the council tip?

Your gardener handles it. Every operator in our network has the legally-required Waste Carrier's Licence.

  • Small amounts — taken to a council recycling centre or composted on-site if there's space.
  • Larger amounts — removed for an additional fee, typically £30–£50
  • Council subscription — most Yorkshire councils run a fortnightly garden waste pickup for £40–£50/year. Often easier than skip hire for big tidies.
Do I need to be home when the gardener visits?

Not for routine visits. For the first visit it's usually better to be there.

If it's a straightforward mow or hedge trim and they can get round the back, they'll work unsupervised. Leave the gate unlocked, let them know in advance about shed or water access. Most regular customers leave a key under a plant pot once they've met the gardener.

Can I book a regular visit?

Yes, and most of our work is regular. Book directly with the gardener after the first visit — no contract, no app, same person every time.

Weekly (peak spring/summer)£90–£280/mo Fortnightly (most common)£60–£160/mo Monthly (winter)£25–£85/mo

Regular bookings usually get a 10–20% discount vs one-off visits. Two weeks' notice is standard if you want to stop.

Can you do fencing, paving and bigger jobs, or just maintenance?

Both. Picking "Landscaping" in the assessment routes you to a different pool of people than the maintenance lane.

Patio (10m²)£800–£1,200 Fence panels (10–15m)£900–£1,500 Raised beds / planting£400–£1,500 Full garden redesign£3,000+
How quickly can someone come out?

First call usually the same day — always within 2 working days. First visit usually within a week.

  • Peak season (April–August) — 1–3 weeks wait for a first visit is normal. Every gardener in Yorkshire is booked solid by mid-April.
  • Winter (November–March) — first visits usually within a week.
  • Actually urgent? Say so — party at the weekend, landlord inspection Monday — and we'll try to find someone with a gap.
Do I pay you or the gardener?

The gardener, directly. We're a matching service, not a booking platform.

No escrow, no card on file, no subscription. They quote the price, do the work, you pay on the day — cash, bank transfer, whatever they prefer. We earn our keep from the gardener side. The estimate is always free and there's never any obligation.
