Before you hire a gardener in Oxford

Most garden jobs are low risk, but a few rules and costs catch people out.

  • Ask whether green waste removal is included, as disposal can add a lot to the price.
  • If they take waste away, check they are a registered waste carrier.
  • Large tree work needs a qualified tree surgeon, and some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders.
  • Active birds' nests are protected by law, so hedges should be checked before cutting between March and August.

Gardener FAQs for Oxford

How much does a gardener cost in Oxford?

Prices in Oxford are often towards the top of our UK guide ranges, as is common across the South East. Your price depends on the job, access and materials, so compare a few quotes from gardeners in Oxford.

What is the difference between a gardener and a landscaper?

A gardener maintains an existing garden: mowing, weeding and pruning. A landscaper builds or changes it, with patios, paths, fences and new planting schemes.

How often should a gardener visit?

Fortnightly during the growing season, from around March to October, suits most gardens. Monthly visits are often enough in winter.

When is the best time to cut a hedge?

Late summer to early autumn is ideal for most hedges. Avoid cutting during bird nesting season, roughly March to August, unless you have checked for active nests.

Do I need permission to cut down a tree?

Check with your council first. Trees with a Tree Preservation Order, or in a conservation area, need permission before they are cut down or significantly pruned.
