Services on offer
Local gardeners provide regular lawn mowing, hedge cutting, border weeding and planting, seasonal tidying, and one-off garden clearances. Many also offer hard landscaping, turf laying, planting design, and tree and shrub work — some holding RHS horticultural qualifications or Society of Garden Designers membership.
Qualifications and accreditations to look for
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) offers widely respected horticultural qualifications at Levels 2 and 3 - an RHS-qualified gardener brings formally assessed plant knowledge that goes well beyond general maintenance. For garden design projects, look for membership of the Society of Garden Designers (SGD), whose members are assessed against professional design and practice standards.
