What the Bristol round covers
Same services and prices as everywhere else.
Regular garden care
Fortnightly or every four weeks — mowing, and the beds and edges kept on top of. The heart of the service.
£25 an hour
Your first regular visit is half price.
Seasonal tidies
Spring wake-ups and autumn put-to-beds — the garden set up for the season ahead.
Visits from £25
Holiday cover
Going away? Mowing and watering on set days, with a photo update so you know it's done.
From £25 a visit
One-off jobs
Hedge trimming and pruning. Send a photo for a same-day ballpark on any other one-off job.
£30 an hour
Garden clearance
Gardens that have got away — brambles, waist-high grass, years of leaf litter. Cleared and taken away.
£110 a half day, £200 a full day
Yard work
Hard surfaces, patios and kerbs swept, litter picked, paths kept passable. Farmyards, stable yards and cottage courtyards — the parts that aren't garden.
£25 an hour
Southwest Bristol is my second patch: the terraced streets of Bedminster and Southville, where back gardens are small, walled and worked hard, and Ashton and Long Ashton on the western edge. Gardens here are urban in a way the Herefordshire round isn't — more paving to edge around, more shade from the house behind, more call for making a small space earn its keep.
Bishopsworth, Withywood and Knowle
The bigger post-war gardens run south through Bishopsworth, Withywood and Knowle — proper lawns, long hedges, and the borders that come with them.
Dundry, where the city stops
Dundry is the odd one out: a hilltop village looking back down at the city, with wind-bent hedges and gardens that behave more like Herefordshire than Bristol. I like it up there.
The work is the same menu: lawns cut and edged, borders kept clean, hedges trimmed with the clippings bagged and gone, and one-off tidies for gardens that have slipped over a season. Terraced-garden rescues — brambles out, beds redefined, a lawn back where there was a jungle — are the Bristol speciality, and they go faster done in the right order.
North of the city the ground opens out into the Severn vale, and Thornbury gardens are the flatter, windier version of the same work.
If you're after a gardener in southwest Bristol, call 07443 797 834 and tell me what you're looking at.
What I don't do in Bristol
Tree surgery — not covered.
Emergency call-outs — not reliable from Ledbury. For urgent work, a Bristol-based gardener is the right call.
If a job needs a Bristol-based specialist, I'll tell you straight.
Common questions in Bristol
Looking for a gardener in Dundry, Bedminster — anywhere south of the river?
South of the river — Bedminster and Southville across to Ashton and Long Ashton, and up through Bishopsworth, Withywood and Knowle to Dundry. North of the Avon isn't ground I cover; if you're right on the edge, ask and I'll be straight about whether it works.
Can you rescue a terraced back garden that's gone over?
Yes — that's the Bristol speciality. Brambles out, beds redefined, a lawn back where there was a jungle. Small walled gardens respond fast, and once it's rescued the regular visits keep it that way.
My garden is mostly paving and pots — is that too small a job?
No. Small spaces are most of the work here — edging around paving, keeping pots and borders alive, a regular tidy to stop the garden slipping. If it's genuinely a ten-minute job I'll say so.
