At Gardeners Surrey, we provide reliable, year-round gardening services across Surrey, tailored to the needs of modern homes and businesses. Our local team of professional, fully trained gardeners look after everything from regular garden maintenance to one-off clearances and specialist hedge and tree work.

Comprehensive Gardening Services in Surrey

Our gardening service is designed to keep your outdoor space safe, tidy and enjoyable in every season. Whether you need a complete garden overhaul or simple ongoing upkeep, we plan the work around your garden’s layout, soil, planting and usage, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

Typical Gardening Tasks We Carry Out

• Garden maintenance – routine upkeep to keep everything under control
• Lawn mowing & edging – neat, even cuts and defined borders
• Hedge trimming & shaping – formal, informal and screening hedges
• Border weeding & hoeing – beds, borders and gravel areas
• Pruning – shrubs, roses, climbers and small trees
• Leaf clearance & debris removal
• Patio & path cleaning – jet washing and moss removal
• Planting & seasonal tidy-ups

All green waste is removed from site or neatly contained, and our vans are covered by goods in transit insurance for your peace of mind.

Local Surrey Gardening Experts

Working solely in Surrey means we understand local conditions: clay-heavy soils, shaded gardens, south-facing suntraps and exposed plots. We’re familiar with common Surrey planting schemes, from cottage-style front gardens in villages to contemporary town gardens in new developments.

Because we’re local, we can offer practical scheduling around school runs, business opening hours and resident parking. If your garden is part of a managed block or conservation area, we’re used to liaising with management companies and following any specific site rules.

Who Our Gardening Services Are For

• Homeowners – full garden care, regular maintenance, or help with the bigger jobs you don’t have time or tools for.
• Renters – keep on top of landlord requirements with occasional or seasonal tidy-ups.
• Landlords – end-of-tenancy garden clearance, pre-let spruce-ups and regular maintenance plans for rental properties.
• Businesses – ongoing grounds maintenance for offices, shops, clinics and hospitality venues.
• Students – simple, affordable garden tidy-ups to avoid deposit deductions at the end of tenancy.

What’s Included in Our Gardening Service

Most standard visits include a tailored mix of:

• Lawn mowing, strimming and edging (where applicable)
• Weeding of beds, borders and hardstanding areas
• Hedge trimming and shrub pruning within safe reach
• Clearing leaves, twigs and light debris
• Basic border care and deadheading
• Light patio and path sweeping or blowing
• Collection and removal of normal green waste

What’s Not Included as Standard

Certain work falls outside a normal gardening visit and may be quoted separately:

• Major tree surgery or work at height requiring climbing equipment
• Large-scale landscaping, construction or fencing
• Specialist plant healthcare treatments and diagnostics
• Heavy waste removal (soil, rubble, old sheds or large structures)
• Chemical treatments beyond standard weed control agreed in advance

We’ll always explain clearly what’s included in your quote, and flag any work that may need an additional price before we proceed.

Our Step-by-Step Gardening Process

1. Enquiry & Initial Quote

Once you contact Gardeners Surrey, we’ll ask a few simple questions about your garden: size, access, current condition and the type of help you’re looking for. If you can share photos, this helps us provide an accurate initial estimate. We then send a clear, written quote with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For straightforward jobs, a virtual survey using photos or a short video call is often enough. For larger gardens or more complex tasks, we arrange an onsite visit in Surrey to look at access, gradients, trees, planting and any potential risks. This allows us to confirm the price and plan the safest, most efficient way to work.

3. Scheduled Gardening Visit

On the agreed day, our professional gardeners arrive in branded vehicles with all tools and equipment required. We walk through the garden with you where possible, confirm priorities, and then carry out the work methodically. At the end, we tidy paths and access routes and remove agreed waste.

4. Ongoing Maintenance if Required

Many clients choose regular visits – weekly, fortnightly or monthly – to keep things under control. We can adjust the schedule seasonally, increasing visits in peak growth and reducing them in winter while still ensuring basic upkeep.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We price our gardening services clearly, based on:

• Garden size and layout
• Current condition (light tidy-up vs heavy overgrowth)
• Type of work required and equipment needed
• Frequency of visits – one-off or regular

For most domestic gardens we work on either an hourly rate with a minimum booking, or a set price per visit. Larger commercial sites are usually priced on a contract basis. There are no surprise add-ons; any extra work is discussed and agreed before we start.

Why Choose Professional Gardeners Over DIY?

Doing your own garden can be rewarding, but it’s not always practical. Our trained team bring experience, professional tools and a structured approach. This means quicker, safer work and a better long-term result for your plants, lawn and hard surfaces.

We know when and how to prune without damaging growth, how to mow lawns to avoid scalping or compaction, and how to manage hedges and trees without creating future problems. We also handle all waste responsibly, so you’re not left with overflowing bins or repeated tip runs.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Gardeners Surrey operates to robust professional standards. We are:

• Fully insured with public liability cover for work carried out on your property
• Covered by goods in transit insurance for tools and waste we carry
• Committed to safe working practices, including risk assessment for higher-risk tasks

This means you’re protected if accidental damage occurs, and you have the reassurance that your garden is being cared for by a legitimate, accountable business.

Caring, Protective and Sustainable Gardening

We aim to work in a way that looks after your garden and the wider environment. Wherever possible, we:

• Prioritise hand weeding over heavy chemical use
• Encourage mulching to reduce water use and suppress weeds
• Retain healthy plants and improve soil rather than replacing everything
• Separate green waste for composting or responsible recycling

We also take care around wildlife habitats, nesting birds and established trees, adjusting our work seasonally and advising you where timing may need to change for environmental reasons.

Real-World Gardening Use Cases in Surrey

Hedge Trimming

From boundary conifers to formal yew and box, we provide regular hedge trimming to keep lines neat and growth healthy. We work within legal guidelines for nesting birds and can schedule work outside key nesting season where needed.

Garden Maintenance

Our ongoing garden maintenance packages keep everything under control: lawns mown, borders weeded, shrubs pruned and paths cleared. Ideal for busy households, older clients, or anyone who prefers to spend time enjoying the garden rather than working in it.

Lawn Mowing

We offer one-off and regular lawn mowing, with attention to mowing height and edges. We can also advise on simple feeding and aeration routines to improve tired lawns over time.

Patio Cleaning

Our patio cleaning service uses appropriate pressure-washing techniques to remove algae, moss and grime from paving, steps and paths. This improves both appearance and safety, reducing slip hazards in damp weather.

Tree Surgery

For more complex tree work, we partner with qualified tree surgery specialists in Surrey. This includes crown reductions, removal of dangerous limbs and full removals where necessary, always carried out to recognised arboricultural standards and with the correct insurance in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do your gardening services cost?

Pricing depends on garden size, condition and the type of work required. Smaller, regularly maintained gardens are usually charged on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while larger or heavily overgrown gardens may be priced per job. Commercial sites are often set up on a monthly maintenance contract. We provide a clear, written quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden charges, and any additional work is discussed with you in advance.

Can you offer same-day or urgent gardening appointments?

Same-day gardening in Surrey may be possible during quieter periods, particularly for straightforward tasks such as mowing or basic tidy-ups. However, availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. We always do our best to accommodate urgent requests, for example before property viewings, end-of-tenancy inspections or events. If we can’t attend the same day, we will offer the earliest suitable slot and may suggest a phased approach to deal with the most pressing issues first.

Are you insured while working in my garden?

Yes. Gardeners Surrey is fully insured for the work we carry out. We hold public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage or injury related to our activities on your property. In addition, our vehicles and the items we carry, including tools and green waste, are covered by goods in transit insurance. Copies of our insurance documentation can be provided on request. Working with an insured, established company means you’re not taking unnecessary risks with your home, tenants or business premises.

What’s included in a standard gardening service visit?

A standard visit typically covers mowing and edging of accessible lawns, weeding of beds and borders, basic pruning of shrubs and hedges within safe reach, light clearance of leaves and debris, and tidy-up of paths or patios. All normal green waste generated during the visit is collected and removed or stacked as agreed. Larger tasks, such as tree surgery, landscaping or heavy rubbish clearance, are not included in a standard visit but can be quoted separately. We’ll always confirm what’s included in your booking so there are no surprises.

How far in advance do I need to book?

During peak growing seasons (spring and early summer), we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. For routine maintenance clients, we usually set up a recurring schedule so you don’t need to think about rebooking. Out of peak periods, we can often fit new clients in more quickly. If you have a specific deadline, such as a house sale or event, let us know as early as possible so we can plan the work and ensure everything is ready on time.

Do I need to be at home while you work?

Not necessarily. As long as we have clear access to the garden and any gates, we can carry out the work while you’re out. Many clients are at work or away during visits. We just ask that pets are secured and any alarms or access instructions are arranged in advance. At the end of the visit, we can send photos and a brief summary of what has been done if you’re not around. Payment can be handled electronically, making the whole process straightforward and flexible.
