Garden Makeovers

If you are looking to refresh your garden, then a makeover could be what it needs. From simply planting flowers to a complete refurbishment, many garden designers have a breadth of knowledge and expertise in horticulture and the principles of design, and for a more advanced design you could even find some gardeners who are landscape artists who have a higher level of training. Garden design, or the creation of gardens to satisfy the requirements and wishes of users or owners, is based on a set of principles. 

Landscaping design, plants, horticultural requirements, and combinations with other plants and landscape features are all common parts of garden design. Garden designers will take into account the garden's upkeep requirements as well as the budget, which will influence plant selection and a variety of other factors. Other key factors to consider include how the garden will be utilised, the intended design (modern or traditional), and how the garden will be connected to the home or other structures.

Gardener Costs

How much does it cost to hire a gardener? It all depends on the work at hand, as well as your location, which is why it is usually a good idea to get a couple of quotes from nearby gardeners. As a general estimate if you want your grass mowed, expect to pay between £20 and £40 per hour; however, you may generally get a discount if you ask to have it done on a regular basis. It will cost between £250 and £750 to resurrect an overgrown yard. If you want any substantial work done, such as rebuilding your fence, installing decking, or building a pond, plan to pay between £500 and £1000. Materials are normally included in these pricing, but always check with your tradesman first.

Hiring a Gardener

Finding quotes has never been easier on Top Tradespeople. Simply post your job and we will connect you with up to 3 local gardeners, without obligation, and totally free of charge. Gardening entails a wide range of tasks, including landscaping, tree removal, pond construction, and even roadway installation. Some gardeners specialise in specific areas, such as the best plants for your garden's soil, while others focus on the aesthetics of your garden, such as ponds or water features. Most gardeners will gladly come out and give you advise for free, as well as provide you with a written quote for the work that needs to be done. Some gardeners charge by the hour, with fees ranging from £15 to £30, while others charge by the work performed. 

Hard Landscaping

If you want to change the aesthetic of your garden, you should start with hard landscaping. Landscaping can radically change your garden, providing a fresh area to entertain and adding fresh life to your outdoor space. However, you must carefully design hard landscaping, keeping in mind that all hard landscaping must be done before soft landscaping can be installed around it. Laying down lawns and grass, planting bulbs and seeds, and growing flowers and plants are all examples of soft landscaping.

Paths, steps, and driveways; terraces, porches, decking, and patios; concrete slabs for paving; below-ground foundations for garages, sheds, greenhouses, conservatories, or swimming pools; drainage and guttering; fencing repair and replacement; electric cable trenches for sheds or garages; and ponds or garden rockery are all examples of hard landscaping. Planning is the key to establishing a pleasant and appealing garden environment when it comes to hard landscaping. There are various factors to consider before purchasing supplies or engaging construction professionals, regardless of the sort of hard landscaping you select.

Is Hard Landscaping a DIY Project?

Many gardeners will tackle landscaping at some time, but hard landscaping is more difficult than soft landscaping, so unless you are a builder, DIY should be avoided if you want great, safe, long-lasting results.

Hard Landscaping- How much does it cost?

Hiring a landscape gardener to create walks, stairs, driveways, terraces, porches, decks and patios, asphalt, foundations, or garden rockery would normally cost between £10 and £20 per hour. However, some landscapers may charge by the square metre rather than by the hour for particular projects, such as block paving, with typical labour expenses of roughly £50 per square metre.
