Robert
James was responsive to our request for a quote, for felling a large ash tree we suspected had died. He replied to messages quickly, turned up when he said he would, and was correct that our tree had in fact died. James was professional the whole time and we would have no hesitation in hiring and recommending him to others in the future.

Gardening services
What can a gardener help with?
If you’re looking for someone to take care of your garden property maintenance tasks, such as trimming shrubs or getting your lawn mowed, then you’ll need the help of a gardener.
If, on the other hand, you want to upgrade your garden by getting a new patio, deck or pergola installed, then you’ll need the services of a garden landscaper.
| Jobs gardeners can do | Jobs garden landscapers can do |
| Planting, pruning and weed control | Laying decking or paving |
| Lawn care and lawn treatments | Laying new artificial grass or Astro turf |
| Hedge trimming or hedge cutting (removal) | Adding a water feature |
| Pressure washing outdoor spaces | Adding a pergola or trellis |
| Installing soil irrigation or drainage | Installing a fence, gate or garden wall |
| General garden maintenance | Garden design |
Gardeners tend to be busier during the summer months when the weather’s good and everyone’s spending more time outdoors. It’s a good idea to hire your gardener before the summer rush. You’ll be more likely to get a better rate for the work if you do.
If you know you’ll need their services regularly, you can also hire a gardener to carry out repeat gardening work like lawn mowing. Some gardeners may also offer deals for repeat work, so make sure to ask.
If you’re looking to improve your home’s kerb appeal by getting a new driveway installed, then you’ll need the help of a driveway specialist. Or, if you need tree services such as a tree removal, then contact a local tree surgeon.

How much do gardeners cost to hire?
![Illustration of two houses with gardens with labels showing how much different garden landscaping projects cost to complete]](https://www.ratedpeople.com/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto/https://rp-prod-wordpress-b-content.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/2023/10/18201315/image-1024x322.png)
The cost of gardening services can vary based on several factors:
- The size of your garden: Larger gardens generally require more time and effort, and therefore cost more to maintain and upgrade
- Your location: Where you live in the UK has an impact on labour costs
- Your choice of materials: If you plan to use premium plants or materials, this will have an impact on the overall cost
The average cost of garden landscaping projects in 2023 is:
- Between £1,500 and £15,000 for a garden deck
- Between £1,100 and £7,200 for a garden patio
- Between £1,000 and £5,200 for a garden fence
Or, if you’re looking to hire a gardener, you can expect to pay between £25 and £40 an hour, depending on where you live in the UK.

What should I consider when hiring a gardener?
It’s really important that you choose a reliable gardener or garden landscaping company to carry out work on your garden. Failing to do this can result in stress and expensive repairs.
Before you hire, you should do your research to ensure that your tradespeople:
- Are an experienced company with a strong history of successful projects
- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the garden services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it by
- Are quoting a price and payment option that you are happy with, having compared the quote with other garden landscaping companies

*Professional Summary:* After obtaining a degree and purchasing my first home, I quickly realised that I had a knack for DIY and home improvement. This passion led me to retrain in various trades, where I honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of the construction industry. Leveraging my hands-on experience, I transitioned into project management, where I now hold significant qualifications. Today, I use my expertise to bridge gaps in projects as I work towards securing larger industrial contracts. My journey from DIY enthusiast to skilled PM has equipped me with a unique blend of technical and managerial skills, allowing me to excel in both the planning and execution of complex projects. *Business Philosophy:* At our company, we believe in valuing the skills and dedication of our tradesmen. Each team member not only earns a competitive wage but also benefits from a share of the company's profits at the end of the calendar year. This approach ensures that our workforce is motivated to deliver exceptional quality on every project. We don't work cheap; instead, we focus on delivering precisely what we promise, ensuring that our clients receive top-tier results and our tradesmen are rewarded for their hard work and craftsmanship. *Commitment to Quality and Safety:* We take our responsibilities seriously. Our company is fully insured, and our team is highly competent, holding a Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) certification. We are committed to upholding the highest standards of safety and professionalism in every project we undertake. This commitment reflects our dedication to delivering not just quality work, but also a secure and compliant working environment for all involved. Our company operates on the principle that in any project, you can have it good, fast, and cheap—but only two at a time. This philosophy guides our approach to delivering quality work while managing client expectations. If you want something done quickly and to a high standard, it won’t be cheap because quality and speed require skilled labor and premium materials. Alternatively, if you need something done quickly and on a budget, you might have to compromise on the level of quality. Lastly, if quality and cost are your priorities, the project will take time, as we won’t cut corners to rush the job. This principle ensures that we remain transparent with our clients. NOW LETS GET TO WORK!

We cannot rate Bailey of Taylor'd Landscaping highly enough. Our large eucalyptus tree had fallen onto our neighbours' garden during Storm Darragh. Bailey turned up on the Sunday to remove what had gone into our neighbours' garden, and then back on Tuesday to finish removing the tree and another diseased tree. Thoroughly professional, fair price and we would recommend this company unreservedly. He also cemented in replacement coping stones for our neighbours' wall at no extra charge. Five star service.

All carpentry work.
Honest review. Fitting worktop - done to a good standard. Had to return the following day to install a shaker shelf as the oven needed to be raised. This was not put on straight so had to ask him to correct it (which he did no problem) the worktop needed the edging put on as he didn’t do it the day before.. asked a few times he said he would do it, started scratching away on the edges and has now chipped the corner of the front of the worktop and has still not done the edging. Sink leaking also.Won’t reply.
We are a small company that pride ourselves on doing a good job for our customers
Came out really quickly and got back to us with a quote the next day. Pleasant, friendly, and professional.
