A local brief makes a difference
Gardeners in Greenwich.
For gardening in Greenwich, describe the lawn, planted beds and any material already waiting for removal separately. A clear list helps providers distinguish routine care from a larger garden reset and quote for the complete finish.
Free to request. Providers price the work, access and waste removal; you choose whether to book.
Include your neighbourhood
For requests in Greenwich, tell us where the property is — for example Greenwich, Woolwich, Eltham, Charlton, Plumstead — and give the full postcode. Availability is checked for your address.
Separate each area of a mixed garden
For an Eltham or Charlton request, photograph the lawn, borders and paved edges individually as well as showing the whole space. Say which areas need regular care and which need one-off attention. If you want an old bed replanted, keep that separate from weeding the existing planting. Ask the gardener to distinguish labour, plants and other materials so you can choose the scope without losing track of the total cost.
Greenwich specifies which sacks can enter the green-top bin
Greenwich’s current green-top-bin guidance covers food and garden material but distinguishes accepted paper or specified corn-starch sacks from plastic and other unsuitable packaging. A bag described only as biodegradable is not enough to establish that it is accepted. If suitable cuttings are being kept for household collection, agree the right container and available capacity. Price the gardener’s own removal separately where that household arrangement does not cover the work.
Show the way out of the garden
Where a Plumstead or Woolwich property has steps or a long route to the road, photograph the whole carrying route. State whether the side entrance is available, whether bags must pass through the house and where a vehicle can load. Include old soil, pots or other non-plant material in separate pictures. The provider needs that information to say which tasks and removal they can actually undertake.
Give the provider a brief they can answer
An illustrative request might cover cutting the lawn and edges, hand-weeding the marked beds, retaining labelled shrubs and removing the cuttings from the visit. Add optional planting only if you want it priced. Ask whether an inspection is needed before a firm quote and how variations will be agreed. Share the full Greenwich-area postcode; the locality name alone does not confirm the gardener’s travel range or availability.
Your garden. Your choice.
What does your Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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 Greenwich
Can any biodegradable bag go into Greenwich’s green-top bin?
No. The council specifies acceptable paper and corn-starch sacks and excludes other listed bags and packaging. Check the actual bag against the current guidance.
Does a regular gardening visit include new plants?
Only when they are agreed in the scope. Ask for supplied plants, compost and other materials to be identified separately from routine labour.
Should I photograph existing bags of waste as well as the garden?
Yes. Show their contents and approximate amount, especially where they include soil, pots or mixed rubbish. The provider needs to confirm whether collection is included.
