Find trusted local tradespeople for all your home improvement needs.
A good landscaper turns an unused garden into genuinely valuable living space — patios, decking, lawns, planting schemes, fencing and garden walls. Landscaping projects combine several skills (groundwork, paving, carpentry, planting), so experience and planning matter as much as labour. HireTrades helps you find local landscapers whose completed gardens and customer reviews you can browse before deciding who to invite to quote.
Before hiring a landscaper, agree a clear scope: levels and drainage, materials (natural stone vs porcelain vs concrete paving vary hugely in cost), edging, lighting and planting. Ask how they handle waste — soil and rubble removal is a significant hidden cost. For larger projects, a simple scaled drawing avoids misunderstandings. Check they hold public liability insurance and ask to see recent gardens, ideally one completed over a year ago so you can see how the work has settled and matured.
Patio installation typically costs £100–£200 per square metre depending on the paving chosen, so a 20m² patio runs £2,000–£4,000. New lawn (turf) costs £15–£30 per square metre laid, fencing £60–£120 per panel fitted, and composite decking £180–£280 per square metre. A full garden redesign for a typical suburban garden ranges from £5,000 to £20,000+. Landscaper day rates are usually £160–£260 per person.
