Looking for a gardener near you in Leeds?
Enter the property postcode and describe the size, condition and access to the outdoor space. A compact rear yard in a terrace, a sloping garden around an older Leeds home and a larger suburban plot in Roundhay or Horsforth can need very different time, tools and waste arrangements, so photos and access details make the job easier to judge.
Maintenance, tidy-ups and seasonal work
What can a Leeds gardener help with?
Garden work is easier to quote when you explain what the space looks like now, not just what you want afterwards. Say whether the job is a one-off recovery, seasonal visit or ongoing maintenance and what should happen to the green waste.
Lawn mowing & care
Grass cutting, edging, light lawn maintenance, reseeding small areas and seasonal work where the lawn needs more than an occasional trim.
Hedge trimming & pruning
Keeping established hedges, shrubs and suitable smaller plants under control with timing and technique matched to the plant and the result you want.
Weeding, borders & planting
Clearing weeds, tidying beds, planting shrubs or seasonal plants and improving borders where the work falls within normal garden maintenance.
Garden clearance & tidy-ups
One-off help with overgrown spaces, leaves, dead growth, unwanted vegetation and general outdoor clutter before a more manageable routine begins.
Turfing & soft improvements
Small-scale turfing, bed preparation and soft-landscaping improvements where the gardener has relevant experience; larger structural landscaping should go to an appropriate specialist.
How much does a gardener cost in Leeds?
Gardening prices depend on garden size, condition, access, machinery, waste removal and whether the visit is one-off or regular. Current Leeds data gives these useful local benchmarks:
£20–£24/hourcurrent Leeds gardener labour guide
~£336/jobaverage Leeds gardening-service job
Indicative guidance checked August 2026. MyJobQuote currently gives a Leeds gardener labour guide of roughly £20–£24 per hour, while Checkatrade shows gardening services in Leeds at about £336 on average with a broad range around £232–£610. One-off clearance, hedge work, machinery and green-waste removal can change the total substantially.
Describe the garden, not just the task
Give every gardener the same practical picture
‘Tidy the garden’ might mean an hour of weeding or a full-day clearance with bags of green waste. Photos, approximate size, access and a task list make quotes much easier to compare.
- Give the approximate garden size and explain whether access is through the house, a side gate, alley or shared passage.
- List the main jobs separately: mowing, hedge trimming, pruning, weeding, planting, clearance or regular maintenance.
- Say how overgrown the space is and whether the gardener needs to remove green waste.
- Share photos and say whether you want a one-off visit, seasonal work or a repeating maintenance schedule.

Gardeners often keep regular maintenance rounds fairly local, while a larger one-off clearance may justify travelling further. The postcode helps match the work with people covering your part of Leeds and able to manage the access and waste involved.

Access and green waste can change the whole visit
Some Leeds terraces have rear access only through a shared passage or the house, while larger suburban gardens can generate much more cut material. Explain how tools can reach the garden and what should happen to the waste before the gardener quotes.
Protected trees need checking first. Leeds City Council advises checking whether a tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order or stands in a Conservation Area before work. TPO-protected trees normally need permission, and Conservation Area tree work generally needs advance notice to the council, subject to the applicable exceptions.

What should you check before hiring a gardener?
For ongoing garden care, reliability and a shared understanding of priorities matter as much as the hourly rate. For one-off clearances, make sure labour, machinery and waste are all covered by the same scope.
Relevant gardening experience
Lawn care, hedge work, planting, garden clearance and soft landscaping need different tools and knowledge. Ask whether the gardener regularly handles the type of work you need.
What the quote includes
Confirm whether tools, machinery, materials, green-waste removal and travel are included. For regular visits, agree the likely tasks and seasonal priorities.
Care, access & communication
For recurring maintenance, agree how the gardener will access the property, where tools or waste can go and how you will communicate about weather or changing priorities.
Gardener or another trade?
Use the right Leeds specialist when the outdoor job changes category
Routine maintenance is different from structural landscaping, outdoor plumbing, powered lighting or building repairs. If the garden project includes those elements, use the relevant trade rather than expecting one gardener to cover everything.
Useful answers
Gardener Leeds FAQs
Quick answers before posting a gardening job in Leeds.
How do I find a gardener near me in Leeds?
Enter the property postcode and describe the garden size, condition and jobs clearly. Your request can then be matched with suitable gardeners who cover that area, allowing you to compare up to 3 responses before deciding who to hire.
How much does a gardener cost in Leeds?
Current MyJobQuote Leeds guidance puts gardener labour at roughly £20–£24 per hour, while Checkatrade shows gardening-service jobs around £336 on average. Garden size, machinery, materials, waste removal and whether the visit is one-off or regular can change the final quote.
Can I hire a gardener for regular maintenance?
Yes. Many gardeners offer repeating visits, but frequency depends on the garden, season and tasks. Agree what should normally be covered on each visit and how priorities will change through the year.
Does a gardener take green waste away?
Sometimes, but do not assume it is included. Ask whether grass, hedge trimmings, branches and other green waste will be removed, composted on site or left for your own disposal.
Can a gardener work on protected trees in Leeds?
Check the tree first. Leeds City Council advises that work to a tree protected by a TPO normally requires permission, while trees in Conservation Areas have separate advance-notice requirements, subject to exceptions.
Are the gardeners verified?
Tradespeople using our partner service are verified with official identification, email and phone details. Public liability insurance and qualifications are checked where provided. You should still review profiles, feedback, relevant experience and what the quote includes before deciding who to hire.
Do I have to accept a gardener quote?
No. Posting the gardening job does not oblige you to hire anyone. Compare the work included, availability, waste arrangements and price and choose only if you are comfortable with the gardener and proposed service.
