Frequently Asked Questions
Booking with Handygardeners is simple and transparent: choose your service, pick a date, share access details, and receive a no-obligation quote within 24 hours. We operate across London and nearby boroughs, so you can book online or by phone at your convenience. Your assigned gardener arrives with professional equipment and respects your property, pets, and plants. If access is tricky or you need arrival windows outside typical hours, just tell us. There are no surprise charges--the final price is confirmed before work starts, and you can reschedule if needed.
All our garden teams are DBS-checked, fully insured, and trained to the highest horticultural standards before stepping foot on site. Each job begins with a safety briefing and a risk assessment, and team members wear visible ID and use company-owned tools that are regularly serviced. Our DBS checks and public liability insurance cover typical garden tasks, while employer's liability protects our staff in case of accidents. To support quality, we maintain accreditation with SafeContractor and are aligned with the British Association of Landscape Industries. You'll receive proof of insurance and a short qualification summary with your booking so you can hire with confidence.
We combine proven professional methods with modern eco equipment to deliver efficient garden work while protecting people, pets, and the environment. For lawn care, we use sharp mower blades, scarification with low-impact tools, and soil-friendly aeration. For borders, we prune with battery-powered secateurs to avoid heavy fuels. For cleaning drives or patios, we apply low-pressure, eco-safe water methods that minimise runoff. For garden clearances, we separate green waste for composting or recycling and reuse mulch. Our experience spans 24+ years and 100000+ local jobs, with before-and-after photos available on request.
If access is tricky or you're in a busy area, we tailor arrival times, use quiet equipment, and coordinate with neighbours to minimise disruption. Please share gate codes, parking details, or a safe meeting point when booking, and we'll confirm a precise time window. You'll receive a written plan and a clear quote upfront, so you know what to expect. If anything changes, we can adjust quickly, keeping you informed by phone or text and ensuring the job proceeds smoothly.
Across London, our eco-friendly gardening approach blends organic soil care, waterwise planting, and low-impact equipment to protect people, pets, and pollinators through careful planning and training. Eco rating: 85% of gardening products and methods are eco-friendly and non-toxic, and we prioritise composting, mulching, and native plantings. Our DBS-checked gardeners apply best practices, minimise chemical use, and dispose of waste responsibly. You'll notice healthier soil and more resilient plants after each visit, with transparent communication throughout.
Pricing is clear from the start, with detailed quotes, no hidden charges, and realistic turnaround estimates based on your garden's size and tasks. We assess sites after a quick pre-booking check, then share a tailored plan and a firm price before any work begins. For larger projects, we outline phased timelines and milestone updates so you know exactly when to expect each stage. Our approach keeps you fully informed, reduces surprises, and helps you plan other activities around your garden's makeover.

This approach helps reduce environmental impact, supports healthier gardens, and aligns with standard council requirements and best practices.
