Homeowners
Whether you have a small courtyard or a larger family garden, we keep it under control and looking good, freeing your weekends for enjoying the space instead of working in it.

Our Step-by-Step Garden Maintenance Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of your Pimlico garden and what you need. We will ask a few simple questions about access, garden size and current condition. From there we can usually provide an initial, no-obligation estimate or a guide price range for regular maintenance or a one-off tidy.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most gardens we recommend a short survey. This can be done via photos and video call, or in person if preferred. During the survey we:
- Assess lawn, hedge and planting condition
- Discuss how you use the garden and how low or high maintenance you want it to be
- Identify any safety issues, access constraints or special requirements
After the survey, we confirm a clear quotation, visit length and recommended frequency (for example weekly, fortnightly or monthly), along with any optional extras.
Transparent Pricing for Pimlico Garden Maintenance
We typically charge by the hour or per scheduled visit, depending on garden size and the scope of work. The price reflects:
- Garden size and complexity
- Number of gardeners needed
- Frequency of visits
- Waste removal requirements
Your quote will always show what is included in each visit, any separate costs for green waste removal, and any one-off works recommended at the start (such as an initial clearance). There are no hidden charges, and we will not add tasks without discussing any change in price with you first.
Why Choose Professional Gardeners Instead of DIY
DIY gardening can be rewarding, but Pimlico’s tight spaces, varied planting and busy schedules often make it challenging. By using professional gardeners you benefit from:
- Consistent care – your garden is maintained on a regular schedule, regardless of your workload or the weather
- Correct techniques – pruning at the right time, mowing at the correct height and safe use of tools
- Proper equipment – commercial-grade mowers, trimmers and safety gear
- Problem-solving – early identification of pests, diseases and drainage problems
- Time savings – you enjoy the results without giving up your evenings and weekends
Insurance and Professional Standards
Gardeners Pimlico operates to high, professional standards. Our team is fully insured, with:
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on site
- Goods in transit insurance – covering our tools and materials as we travel to and from your Pimlico property
Our gardeners are trained in safe use of machinery and best horticultural practice. We work respectfully around your home, neighbours and shared spaces, keeping noise and disruption to a minimum.
Caring, Protective and Sustainable Gardening
We aim to care for your garden in a way that protects both your property and the wider environment. Wherever practical we:
- Encourage healthy soil through mulching and sensible feeding
- Promote wildlife-friendly planting and seasonal interest
- Reduce chemical use, favouring cultural and mechanical control of weeds and pests
- Recycle or compost green waste through approved facilities
We are careful around existing plants, structures and garden furniture, and we always leave access routes and entrances clean and safe.
Real-World Garden Maintenance Use Cases in Pimlico
Hedge Trimming
From small box hedges in front gardens to boundary hedges in shared courtyards, we provide regular hedge trimming to keep lines neat, maintain privacy and prevent encroachment onto pavements and neighbouring properties.
Routine Garden Maintenance
For many Pimlico clients, we provide ongoing garden maintenance visits throughout the growing season, adjusting tasks to the time of year – from spring preparation and summer growth control to autumn leaf clearance and winter tidy-ups.
Lawn Mowing and Care
Lawns in shaded, enclosed Pimlico gardens can be challenging. We provide lawn mowing, edging and light treatments where required, promoting a healthy sward and reducing moss and bare patches over time.
Patio Cleaning and Courtyard Care
We maintain patios, terraces and balconies by sweeping, clearing debris and carrying out light patio cleaning. For more intensive cleaning, we can also arrange pressure washing as a separate service to remove algae and staining.
Tree Surgery and Specialist Works
Where small trees or large shrubs need attention beyond routine pruning, we can provide or arrange tree surgery works through competent, insured specialists, ensuring that any work complies with local regulations and is appropriate for the tree’s health.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garden maintenance in Pimlico cost?
The cost of garden maintenance varies with garden size, condition and how often you would like us to visit. Smaller Pimlico courtyards can often be maintained in a short, regular visit, while larger or overgrown gardens need more time, especially at the start. We typically charge by the hour or per visit, with clear pricing agreed in advance. During your survey we will recommend a visit length and frequency that suits your garden and budget, and confirm all costs with no hidden extras.
Do you offer same-day or urgent garden tidy-ups?
We do our best to accommodate urgent requests in Pimlico, especially for situations such as property viewings, end-of-tenancy checks or events. Same-day visits are sometimes possible, depending on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest available slot and prioritise key tasks during the first visit to make the biggest visual impact quickly. Contact us with as much detail as possible so we can advise on realistic timings.
Are your gardeners insured while working on my property?
Yes. Gardeners Pimlico is fully insured to work on residential and commercial properties. We carry public liability cover to protect you, your property and members of the public in the unlikely event of damage or an accident while we are on site. In addition, our equipment and materials are protected by goods in transit insurance as we travel to and from your garden. We are happy to provide proof of cover on request, and we always work to safe, professional standards.
What is included in a standard garden maintenance visit?
A standard visit is focused on keeping your garden tidy, safe and healthy. Typically this includes mowing and edging lawns, weeding beds and paths, trimming small to medium hedges, light shrub pruning, deadheading where needed, and sweeping or lightly cleaning patios and paths. We also gather and bag green waste, and can remove it from site if agreed in advance. Larger projects, tree surgery, heavy landscaping and pressure washing are not part of a standard visit but can often be arranged separately.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular maintenance in Pimlico, it is best to arrange your survey and booking a week or two in advance, particularly during the busy spring and summer months. One-off tidy-ups and urgent visits may be available sooner, depending on our schedule. Once you are an ongoing client, we will agree a recurring time slot so you know when to expect us. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-out date or event, please let us know as early as possible so we can reserve time for you.
