The average cost to hire a gardener in Southampton is between £25 and £30 per hour. Hourly rates are normally charged when a gardener works at the same location on a weekly basis, and where maintenance work changes from week to week.
MyJobQuote connects you with local plasterers in Glasgow, making it easy to find a skilled tradesperson for your project. Get personalised quotes and choose the right professional for your needs.
People who are looking to hire a gardener normally want typical gardening tasks, which can include:
Not many gardeners work without their own tools because they might not have many. Most gardeners have brands they prefer and feel more comfortable with a tool they are used to using regularly. If one of their tools breaks while they are working in your garden, they may ask to use your tools so they can finish the job. If you agree, show them where your tools are kept, and confirm they can use them.
In the UK, the only insurance a gardener is required to have by law is Employers’ Liability Insurance if they have staff working for them. This insurance protects the employer from illness or injury claims made by the employee. However, most tradespeople also have Public Liability Insurance because it protects them from claims for accidents or injury caused while working at a customer’s home. It gives homeowners peace of mind if damage or injury occurs.
Many gardeners do one-off jobs between their regular work. Typical jobs take between an hour and a half a day. They include garden clearance, cutting grass and hedge trimming. Landscape gardeners are often hired to design, plan and plant a garden from scratch. It can include the creation of planting beds, shrubs and a lawn, together with fountains, patios and ponds with water features. Landscape gardeners charge on average between £30 and £60 an hour.
You can ask colleagues, neighbours, family and friends who use a gardener for recommendations. Or you can search online for local gardeners with websites. But the easiest way to find a reliable gardener is to use MyJobQuote. All you need to do is visit our website, enter your postcode and tell us a bit about the job you need doing. We’ll then find at least 3 local gardeners to give you no obligation quotes.
The number of hours you need the services of a gardener will depend on the size of your garden, the type of maintenance required, the plants you have and whether you have a lawn. Theaverage-sizedd garden will usually stay neat and tidy with a fortnightly visit from a gardener. Larger gardens with big lawns might need weekly visits. A reliable gardener will come to your home and assess your garden before giving you a quote.
Many gardeners offer garden clearance as an add-on service. Gardeners will clear debris and remove green waste if they have the appropriate licence for responsible disposal. The average cost of garden clearance is between £100 and £200 and normally takes between 1 and 4 hours. Although council-run recycling centres only accept domestic waste from a property owner. A gardener will more than likely have to pay for the service at a privately owned facility.
You can hire a gardener at any time of the year. But, during the spring and summer months, they are likely to be busier, with a full schedule. Winter and autumn months are quieter, which makes it easier to hire a gardener for a one-off job such as hedge trimming. Quiter periods are also ideal times to ask your regular gardener for a quote to take ona larger or special project like building a pond.
You won’t need to provide them with anything, as most gardeners will bring their own tools. But it is advisable to clear away any garden furniture, children’s toys or anything else that might get in the way whilst they are working. Let a gardener know where to find your green waste bin if you have one, or the location of a compost heap. Explain if there are jobs you want a regular gardener to prioritise.
