£20 p/hour

Answer by Sarah S
I’m not sure if this helps
but

Me and a friend did some gardening work
about 6 hours on the back garden
we got £40 to share at the end

and we were pretty chuffed with that seeing as we were saving up for a nice shopping spree. Surprisingly it didn’t go too far but hey, the gardening was pretty fun.

Answer by mighty atom
I pay the same as local authority pay to grass cutters /hedge trimmers/general garden labour and that is minimum wage £6 ph which is good considering most of these people are claiming benefit they don’t have to pay tax and they are using all my tools so for £20 ph as suggested I would want a qualified horticulturalist who has papers to prove qualifications and has insurance to cover him and his work whilst on my property.

Answer by Babylon
What training & qualifications do you have?

If you have a Diploma in Landscaping & garden Design you should be asking for around £25ph. If you have a Hnd. £45ph

Last year I made £180,000 Not bad going for a gardener!!! But then again I have 4 Dips and 1 Hnd. my own Company that turns over 4.6m a year. It all depends on how hard you are prepared to work!!!
