Hedge trimming
Formal hedges cut straight and flat, informal ones shaped, outside the nesting season wherever birds are protected.

Per hour$40

What a garden needs through the year
In places with four seasons, the round follows this pattern. In tropical and dry climates the work follows the rains instead, and we plan it with you on the first visit.
| Season | Main jobs | Visits we suggest |
|---|---|---|
| Early spring | First mow on a high cut, beds weeded before weeds set seed, roses and late shrubs pruned | Every two weeks |
| Late spring and summer | Mowing, edging, deadheading, hedges trimmed once young birds have fledged | Every week or two |
| Late summer | Second hedge trim, spring flowering shrubs tidied, lawns left longer in dry spells | Every two weeks |
| Autumn | Leaves cleared, borders cut back, mulch spread, bulbs planted for spring | Every two to three weeks |
| Winter | Fruit trees pruned while dormant, paths and drains kept clear, tools serviced | Once a month |
How a booking works
From the request to the first cut, usually within a week in the growing season.
Pick a visit and a time
Choose a round or a tidy, a first date and a morning or afternoon slot in the form below.
We confirm or suggest
Within one working day we accept the time, offer the nearest open slot, or say if the round is full.
First visit walk round
Ten minutes together in the garden to agree what stays, what goes and where the tap and bins are.
Same day each time
Regular visits fall on the same weekday with the same gardener, and a short note is left after each one.
One gardener who knows your plants
Gardens go wrong when a different person turns up each time and pulls the seedlings along with the weeds. On a Greenhand round, the same gardener comes back on the same weekday and learns which plants you are encouraging.
If the gardener is away, a colleague covers with the notes from your garden, and we tell you before the visit.
- Mowers, trimmers and hand tools brought to every visit
- Green waste taken to a composting site
- Insured for work in your garden
- Plants you buy can be planted on a visit
Gardens on the round
Lawns, hedges, borders and small yards after a Greenhand visit.
Notes from the round (example reviews)
Every second Thursday the lawn is cut, the beds are clean and a note on the back door says what was done. Two years on, the same gardener still comes.
The garden had been left for a year before the house went on the market. Two gardeners had it looking cared for by lunchtime and took every bag away.
Our old apple tree was pruned properly in winter instead of hacked in summer, and it fruited better than it had in years.
Questions about garden visits
Does someone need to be home?
No. Most clients leave a side gate open and the tap accessible. We knock on arrival and leave a short note when we go.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain does not stop us. In heavy rain or on waterlogged lawns we move the visit to the next dry day on the round and let you know in the morning.
Do you sell plants?
No plants are sold online or on the round. We can suggest what suits the spot, and plant anything you buy at the hourly rate.
Where does the green waste go?
Clippings, weeds and prunings are bagged and taken to a composting site. Garden waste bins on the property are only used if you ask.
How is a visit paid for?
We send an invoice after each regular visit or at the end of the month, and payment is arranged directly with us. One off tidies are paid on the day.
How do we stop a regular round?
Tell us before the next visit. There is no contract or notice period, and the round can be paused over winter.
