Tell us your postcode and what needs doing. We pass it to a gardener who actually covers your area, and they ring you with a price. It is free, there is no obligation, and you deal with them direct from there.
You are told at every step. No quote that never arrives.
Postcode, what needs doing, roughly how big. About a minute. You get an email confirming it landed.
Matched on postcode and on the kind of work, so you are not sent to someone forty miles away who does not do clearances.
You talk to the gardener who would actually do the work, and agree the price and the date with them directly.
If nobody local can take it on, you hear that from us rather than waiting on a call that is not coming.
Most bad experiences with a gardener come from the same place: a price agreed too vaguely, for a job described too loosely. A quick lawn cut is hard to get wrong. A clearance, a hedge that has been left three years, or anything involving waste going to a tip is where the gap between what you pictured and what you get turns into an argument.
Four things worth doing, whoever you end up hiring:
We handle the last one for you, and the first one is why our form asks what it asks instead of just taking your number.
Honest Yorkshire ranges, so you know roughly what to expect before anyone rings. For a fuller breakdown, see what gardeners near you charge.
An average garden cut fortnightly through the season. Small terraced plots sit at the bottom; larger gardens with edging and clippings taken away sit above it. Hourly rates →
Driven far more by height and access than by length. Anything needing a ladder or a chipper is a different job to a waist-high boundary. Hedge prices →
Priced by the job rather than the hour, because waste disposal drives the cost. An overgrown garden after a tenancy is the common one. Clearance costs →
Worth it once a job runs past about six hours. Spring resets and autumn renovations usually work out cheaper as a day rate. Day rates →
Regular or one-off. Mowing, edging, borders, the general keeping-on-top-of-it.
Garden maintenance →Annual cuts, reshaping, and the ones that have been left too long.
Hedge trimming →Overgrown plots, end of tenancy, waste taken away and disposed of properly.
Garden clearance →Weekly or fortnightly through the growing season, clippings taken or left.
Lawn mowing →Borders, paths and drives. Far easier in March than in June.
Weed control →Planting plans and full redesigns when the garden needs rethinking, not just tidying.
Garden design →New lawns laid, old ones replaced, ground prepared properly first.
Turfing →Laying, relaying and repointing. Priced by the square metre.
Patio laying →Patios, paths and decking brought back from green and slippery.
Pressure washing →Installed over a prepared base. Worth it on shaded or heavily used plots.
Artificial grass →Path, border and feature lighting fitted and wired in.
Garden lighting →Block paving and tarmac cleaned down, resanded and sealed if wanted.
Driveway cleaning →Base prepared and the frame built, including replacing an old one.
Greenhouse installation →What to put where, for your soil and your light, with a list you can buy from.
Planting plans →Fencing, decking, walls, ponds, stump grinding, raised beds and the rest.
All services →Across Yorkshire, working your postcode. If your town is not listed, send the request anyway and we will tell you honestly whether anyone covers you.
Ask for the specific job you want quoting rather than a general enquiry, and get the price agreed before anyone starts. A gardener who has seen the garden, in person or from photos, gives a firmer number than one quoting blind. Tell us your postcode and what needs doing and we pass it to someone who covers your area.
Most Yorkshire gardeners charge from around £25 an hour, or from about £175 for a full day. A fortnightly lawn cut on an average garden is usually £25 to £40 a visit. Clearances are priced by the job rather than by the hour, because getting the waste to a tip is what drives the cost.
No. Sending the request and getting a price back is free, with no obligation to book. You agree the price and the date with the gardener directly.

Local sole traders in Yorkshire typically charge £25-35/hr. Larger gardening companies charge £40-60/hr. For most standard garden maintenance, a local sole trader is the better value option. One-off clearance jobs are usually quoted as a fixed price based on the scope of work.
No. There is no fee on your side for submitting a request or receiving a quote. You pay the gardener for the work itself. We do not charge customers a commission or a service fee.
Yes. One-off jobs - a single clearance visit, a hedge trim, an end-of-season tidy - are welcome. You do not need to commit to a regular maintenance contract. Submit what you need and we put your enquiry in front of someone available for a one-off visit in your area.
All gardeners in the Yorkshire Lawn and Garden network are checked before they are connected to customers: insured, running as legitimate local businesses, and monitored for consistent performance.
