Read our cost guides to find out how much a variety of gardening jobs will set you back.
Cheap gardeners can cost as little as £12 per hour, but the UK average is £27 per hour. The average day rate for a gardener is £196 per day, but it can vary between £77 and £400. Gardeners in London and the south east will charge more than those in other parts of the country.
