A local brief makes a difference
Gardeners in Brighton.
Arrange gardening in Brighton and Hove around the space you actually have: a planted courtyard, a stepped rear garden or a lawn needing regular attention. Tell us your postcode and priorities, and use WhatsApp to request prices from suitable independent providers.
Free to request. Providers price the work, access and waste removal; you choose whether to book.
Include your neighbourhood
For requests in Brighton, tell us where the property is — for example Hove, Kemptown, Hanover, Preston Park, Patcham, Portslade — and give the full postcode. Availability is checked for your address.
Include the steps before the gardener quotes
A garden's footprint does not reveal the effort of reaching it. If your Brighton property has basement access, terraced levels or a narrow side passage, show those features in the first photos. Mention whether equipment must travel through the living space and where a vehicle can unload. The provider can allow for carrying tools and cuttings, or explain when different equipment is needed, before you compare prices.
Preserve the planting that gives the garden its character
For an established Brighton or Hove garden, start with a keep list. Identify climbing plants, screening shrubs and containers that matter to you, then distinguish routine tidying from removal. If exposed planting is struggling, describe what you have observed rather than asking for every shrub to be cut hard back. Plant identification and the right timing may be more valuable than a large volume of cutting. The gardener should agree the approach to unfamiliar plants.
Plan a courtyard visit around usable space
A hypothetical Kemptown courtyard brief might ask for weeds to be removed from planted edges, containers to be tidied and the route to a seating area cleared. That is a different service from rebuilding paving or redesigning the garden. State which surfaces need attention and whether you want waste taken away. For a larger Patcham lawn, give approximate dimensions and discuss an ongoing mowing schedule separately from the first recovery cut.
Check that your household collection is active
Brighton & Hove City Council runs a subscription garden-waste collection service. Its guidance distinguishes signing up, activating and renewing collections, so having a bin at the property is not the same as having an active service. If you hope to retain cuttings, confirm your current collection arrangement and capacity first. For more material than it can accommodate, request a separate removal price from the gardener instead of relying on communal refuse bins.
Compare Brighton quotes by access, scope and finish
Clearance quotes should state what is coming out, what is staying and what will leave the property. Maintenance quotes should identify the tasks in each visit and how missed or unsuitable-weather visits are handled. We do not claim a measured Brighton hourly average: independent providers assess your particular garden. Ask for any access, loading or waste charge to be visible in the total. The WhatsApp agent helps coordinate the request, and you choose whether to book.
Your garden. Your choice.
What does your Brighton garden need?
Tell us what needs doing. Providers set their own prices and you decide whether to book.
Choose the gardening work
Read the service guide, then add your Brighton postcode when requesting a quote. Prices are set by providers for the actual work.
Garden clearance
Clear unwanted growth and green waste so you can use your garden again. Describe what needs cutting, what should stay and what needs taking away.
Garden maintenance
Keep an established garden under control with visits planned around the jobs you need. Request regular care or a single maintenance visit without committing to a package.
Lawn mowing & grass cutting
Get a one-off cut or a regular mowing arrangement for your lawn. Include strimming, edging and clipping removal in the request if you want them priced together.
Hedge cutting & trimming
Request a trim, reshape or reduction for your hedge. Share its approximate height and length so gardeners can assess the equipment, access and work involved.
Garden tidy-up
Bring an untidy garden back into shape before a new season, a house move or time outdoors. Build a one-off job list around what matters most to you.
Weeding & weed control
Get help with weeds in beds, borders and other garden areas. Explain whether you want hand removal, a longer-term management plan or advice on regrowth.
Questions about gardening in Brighton
Can I request a gardener in Hove or Portslade?
Yes. This guide includes Brighton and Hove enquiries, but the actual postcode determines which providers can consider the work. Share your address area and required service; availability is confirmed through the conversation.
Will a small Brighton courtyard cost less than a lawn visit?
Size is only one factor. Restricted access, dense growth and careful pruning can take longer than straightforward mowing. Ask for a price against a written brief rather than comparing an assumed hourly rate.
Does my garden-waste bin mean collections are included?
No. Check that the council subscription is active and that the material is accepted. A private gardening quote also needs to say whether cuttings stay or are removed; the council subscription is a separate arrangement.
How can I compare a full clearance with a light tidy-up?
List what you want removed and the plants or features to preserve. Ask for each proposal to describe the finished condition, access allowance and waste plan. A light tidy and removal of established growth should not be compared as equivalent jobs.
