What Our Garden Maintenance Service Includes
Our garden maintenance in Twickenham is designed to be flexible. You can book a one‑off tidy up, or set up a regular visit weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on the season and your needs.
Typical tasks we carry out

- Hedge trimming – shaping, height reduction and regular trims for all common hedge types
- Shrub and plant care – pruning, dead‑heading, light reshaping and basic plant health checks

- Border maintenance – light cultivation, tidy edges and mulching where requested
- General garden tidy – removal of minor green waste and keeping paths and access areas clear
What’s not included as standard
To keep pricing fair and transparent, some items are not part of a standard maintenance visit, but can be added or quoted separately:
- Large‑scale tree surgery or felling (we offer this as a separate, specialist service)
- Major landscaping, redesign or construction (patios, decking, fencing, walls)
- Planting plans and detailed garden design reports
- Heavy waste removal, soil disposal or skip hire
- Chemical treatments beyond basic weed control (e.g. specialist lawn renovation programmes)
When you enquire, we’ll clarify exactly what you need so there are no surprises on the day.

Our Step‑by‑Step Garden Maintenance Process
1. Enquiry & Initial Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your garden: size, access, current condition and what you’d like us to do. Where possible, we’ll provide an initial estimate based on this information and any photos you can send.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most gardens, we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or video to confirm the work required. For more complex spaces, large grounds or where tree work is involved, we’ll arrange an onsite survey in Twickenham.
During the survey we:
- Check access and parking
- Confirm which areas to maintain
- Identify any safety concerns (loose paving, unstable trees, etc.)
- Agree the scope and frequency of visits
3. Final Quote & Booking
Once the survey is complete, we provide a clear, written quote with no hidden extras. If you’re happy to proceed, we agree a date for the first visit and, for regular maintenance, set up an ongoing schedule that suits you.
4. Garden Maintenance Visit
On the day, our gardeners arrive on time in uniform and complete the agreed tasks efficiently, working tidily and with respect for your property and neighbours. We carry out a brief walk‑through with you where possible so you can highlight any priorities, and we update you afterwards on what’s been done.
5. Ongoing Care & Recommendations
For regular customers, we keep simple records of each visit and can suggest seasonal tasks such as hedge trimming, lawn treatments or patio cleaning when appropriate, so your garden stays in good order all year round.
Transparent Pricing
We believe in fair, transparent pricing. Most garden maintenance in Twickenham is charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum visit time to cover travel and set‑up. Larger or more complex gardens may be priced by the job.
Your quote will clearly state:
- The hourly rate or fixed price
- How many gardeners will attend
- The expected duration of the visit
- What is included in that time
Any optional extras – such as removal of large volumes of waste or specialist treatments – are itemised separately so you can choose what suits your budget. There are no surprise charges on the day.
Why Choose Professional Gardeners Instead of DIY
Many people start out doing their own garden but find it difficult to keep on top of everything, especially during peak growing seasons. Using professional gardeners offers several advantages:
- We bring the right tools for the job, saving you buying and maintaining equipment.
- We understand correct pruning times and techniques, helping plants thrive rather than just survive.
- Work is carried out safely, particularly when using power tools or working at height.
- Your garden is maintained consistently, even when you’re busy or away.
The result is a healthier, tidier garden in less time, with fewer costly mistakes such as damaged lawns or poorly cut hedges.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Gardeners Twickenham operates to professional standards to protect you, your property and our team.
- Public liability cover – We hold comprehensive public liability insurance, so you’re protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury related to our work.
- Goods in transit insurance – Our tools, machinery and any plants or materials we transport for you are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance.
- Trained, professional staff – Our gardeners are trained in safe equipment use, proper pruning techniques and site tidiness.
We work in line with current health and safety guidance, carry out informal risk assessments before starting work and keep disruption to you and your neighbours to a minimum.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to maintain gardens in a way that balances appearance, practicality and environmental responsibility.
- We prioritise minimal intervention where possible, using manual methods for many tasks to reduce chemical use.
- Where weed control products are necessary, we choose options that are suitable and lawful, and we apply them carefully.
- Green waste is separated and taken for appropriate recycling or composting where arranged.
- We aim to protect wildlife habitats, working carefully around nesting birds and encouraging pollinator‑friendly planting where clients are interested.
Our goal is not just a tidy garden, but a healthy, resilient outdoor space that works with its surroundings.
Real‑World Garden Maintenance Examples
Hedge Trimming
We look after everything from low box hedges to tall boundary screens. Regular trimming keeps hedges dense and attractive, while reducing the risk of encroachment onto pavements or neighbouring properties.
Garden Maintenance
Many clients in Twickenham book a combined garden maintenance visit that covers lawn mowing, border weeding, light pruning and a general tidy. This is ideal for busy households who want a consistently neat garden with minimal effort.
Lawn Mowing
Our lawn mowing service ranges from occasional holiday cover to regular weekly cuts during peak growth. We mow at an appropriate height for the season, edge neatly and can advise on simple steps to improve lawn health.
Patio Cleaning
Patio cleaning helps keep outdoor seating areas safe and presentable. We remove surface debris, light moss and weeds from paving joints, and can arrange deeper cleaning where required.
Tree Surgery
For more substantial tree work, our specialist tree surgery team can assist with crown reductions, dead‑wooding and removals, all carried out safely and in line with best practice. This is quoted separately following a detailed survey.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garden maintenance in Twickenham cost?
Costs depend on the size of your garden, its current condition and how often you’d like us to visit. Most routine maintenance is charged at an hourly rate with a minimum visit time, while larger tidy‑ups may be priced as a fixed job. During your enquiry we’ll ask for photos and details so we can give a clear estimate. After a virtual or onsite survey, we confirm a written quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Can you offer same‑day or urgent garden maintenance?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or short‑notice requests, for example before property viewings, inspections or events. Same‑day attendance is not always possible, especially in peak growing season, but we will always be honest about the earliest slot we can offer. If we can’t attend the same day, we usually find a suitable appointment within a few days and can prioritise the most important tasks first.
Are you insured while working in my garden?
Yes. Gardeners Twickenham carries full public liability cover so you are protected if accidental damage or injury occurs in connection with our work. In addition, our tools, machinery and any plants or materials we move for you are protected by goods in transit insurance. Our gardeners are trained to work safely and we follow sensible procedures on every visit. We’re happy to provide evidence of our insurance on request before you book.
What is included in a standard garden maintenance visit?
A standard visit typically covers lawn mowing and edging, weeding of beds and borders, basic pruning and dead‑heading, hedge trimming where needed, and a general tidy of paths and access areas. We include removal of light green waste as part of the service. Larger volumes of waste, tree work, specialist treatments and major landscaping are not included as standard but can be quoted separately. Before we start, we agree the exact list of tasks so we focus on what matters most to you.
How far in advance do I need to book?
In quieter months, we can often book you in within a week. During peak season (spring and early summer), it’s sensible to book two to three weeks ahead, especially for larger gardens or first‑time tidy‑ups. For regular maintenance, once we’ve completed the first visit we’ll agree an ongoing schedule and reserve those slots for you, so you don’t need to keep rebooking. If you have a deadline, such as a party or property sale, let us know and we’ll work around it where possible.
Do I need to be at home when you visit?
You don’t have to be at home as long as we have clear instructions and secure access to your garden. Many of our regular clients are at work while we maintain their gardens. We agree all work in advance, and our team arrive in uniform and work respectfully. If you prefer to be present for the first visit or for a survey, that’s absolutely fine, and we can walk the garden with you to confirm priorities and answer any questions.
