Garden services, done by local gardeners.

All gardening services in Yorkshire, with prices

These are honest guide prices based on typical Yorkshire gardens. Every job has variables - garden size, how overgrown things are, the materials you choose - so treat these as a starting point. Get a free quote and you will have an exact price before any work begins, no obligation attached.

Lawn care and grass services

Lawn mowing and grass cutting are the most booked services we see across Yorkshire. A freshly cut lawn makes the whole garden look cared for regardless of what else needs doing. Visits start from £25 for a small lawn and rise to around £55 for a larger plot, with prices including edging and clearing away clippings. Most customers book fortnightly or monthly through the growing season.

Garden maintenance packages combine mowing with border weeding, shrub tidying and debris removal - ideal if you want a single visit to cover the whole garden rather than booking separate services. Prices follow the same £25-55 range per visit, scaling with garden size and how much there is to do on the day.

Lawn aeration and lawn scarification are treatments most Yorkshire lawns benefit from at least once a year. Aeration relieves compaction so grass roots can breathe; scarification removes the thatch layer that stops water and nutrients reaching the soil. Both are best carried out in autumn, and both lead to noticeably thicker, greener growth the following spring.

Lawn treatments - including fertiliser programmes, moss killer and weed-and-feed applications - help lawns recover from the wet Yorkshire winters that leave moss and bare patches behind. Treatment visits start from £40. Lawn edging can be added as a standalone tidy-up or included as part of a regular mowing visit to keep borders looking sharp.

Turfing gives you a new lawn quickly - within a day in most cases - and is the most practical option after renovation work, building projects or years of heavy use that have left bare and patchy areas. Artificial grass is an increasingly popular alternative, particularly for households with children or pets, or where drainage makes growing real grass difficult.

Garden clearance and ongoing maintenance

Garden clearance is one of the highest-demand services we see across Yorkshire, particularly in spring and after periods when a garden has been left unmanaged. A small, manageable clearance starts from around £150; a large, heavily overgrown plot with brambles, ivy and accumulated debris can run to £800 or more. Prices include cutting back, bagging up and removing all green waste from site. Most gardens are cleared in a single day.

Regular garden maintenance is the most cost-effective way to keep a cleared garden looking good long-term. A fortnightly or monthly schedule prevents the build-up that leads to expensive clearance jobs further down the line. Visits from £25-55 depending on size.

Weed control visits tackle persistent weeds - including Japanese knotweed, bindweed and ground elder - using appropriate treatments for each weed type. Single visits start from £40. For serious infestations, a programme of multiple visits gives the most reliable long-term results.

Hedges, trees and cutting work

Hedge trimming is available across all 240+ Yorkshire towns we cover. Prices start from £35 for a small single hedge and range up to £120 or more per hedge depending on height, length and species. Larger jobs are often quoted per metre at £3-22 per metre. Most hedges benefit from being cut once or twice a year - once in late summer after nesting season, and optionally again in early spring to keep them tidy.

Tree surgery covers crown reduction, deadwooding, branch removal and full felling where necessary. Work starts from £150 for minor pruning and rises with tree size and access difficulty. All tree surgery work carries appropriate insurance for aerial operations. Stump grinding follows felling to remove the root system at ground level - leaving a stump is a common cause of regrowth and can harbour pests and fungal problems over time.

Hard landscaping and outdoor surfaces

Patio laying is the most popular hard landscaping request we receive. Porcelain slabs and Indian sandstone are the materials most customers choose across Yorkshire right now. Prices typically run from £60 to £220 per square metre depending on the material and the complexity of the groundwork beneath. A standard 20m2 patio can usually be completed within two to three days.

Decking installation suits gardens where a level outdoor space is tricky to achieve with paving - sloping plots in particular. Composite decking is low maintenance and resistant to the Yorkshire damp; pressure-treated timber is the budget-friendly alternative. Fencing installation and replacement is equally popular - whether you need close-board panels for privacy, post-and-rail for a rural look or a full perimeter replacement after an old fence has finally given way.

Garden walls in natural Yorkshire stone complement period properties and look right at home in rural settings. Raised beds built from sleepers, stone or brick transform an unused corner into a productive vegetable or herb garden. Driveway cleaning and pressure washing restore block paving and tarmac without the need for expensive resurfacing - a high-pressure clean removes years of moss, algae and grime in a single visit.

Garden design, planting and special features

Garden design and garden makeovers are available from £500 for a basic replanning and planting scheme. Full redesigns that include hard landscaping, planting and feature installation are quoted individually based on the scope of work. If you want a professional opinion on how to get the most from your outdoor space, a design consultation is a good starting point before committing to any build work.

Border planting and bespoke planting plans can be drawn up remotely - plans are posted to you from £250 - or delivered on-site by a local gardener who can plant directly into your beds. Both options suit homeowners who want professional plant choices suited to their soil type, aspect and garden style without committing to a full redesign.

Garden lighting installation extends the time you can enjoy your outdoor space into evenings and through the darker months. Pathway lights, uplighting for trees and ambient patio lighting are the most common requests. Pond installation starts from £300 for a simple wildlife pond and rises with size and the addition of pumps, filters and planting schemes. Greenhouse installation covers both assembly of flat-pack units and bespoke builds - get a free quote once you have your dimensions and site requirements confirmed.
