Garden maintenance in London typically costs £70 to £150 for a one-off tidy-up, or around £40 to £60 per hour, with regular visits and full clearances priced to the size and state of the garden. Most standard tidy-ups are completed in a half-day.
London gardens, courtyards and patios do not need to be big to become overgrown — a few weeks of neglect and hedges sprawl, weeds take over and the whole space looks unloved. Our garden maintenance service keeps outdoor areas neat and usable, whether you want a one-off blitz before summer or a tenant, or a regular visit to keep on top of it.
We handle hedge and shrub trimming, weeding and border tidying, cutting back overgrowth, general clearance and green-waste removal, jet washing patios and paths, and the outdoor odd jobs that come with a garden — from fixing a fence panel to clearing a gutter. It is practical, reliable upkeep rather than specialist landscaping, ideal for busy London homeowners, landlords and offices.

What our garden service covers
How it works
Landlords and letting agents: an overgrown garden puts off tenants and fails inspections. We offer between-tenancy garden clearances and regular upkeep across London, with photos and a single invoice, so your properties always show well and stay compliant with tenancy terms.
We are handymen with garden skills rather than landscape designers, which is exactly what most London properties need — reliable upkeep, clearance and repairs at a fair price. For bigger projects like new decking, fencing or full landscaping we can quote those separately through our carpentry and decking teams.
