Gardener FAQs
How can I find a good gardener near me?
The easiest way is through Hey Alfie. Alfie finds you trusted local gardeners who are available in your area. No more endless searching or chasing quotes online, just book through Alfie and get your garden sorted without the hassle.
Why should I use Hey Alfie instead of finding a gardener myself?
Finding a reliable gardener yourself can be frustrating when it comes to chasing quotes, coordinating schedules, and making sure the job is done properly.
Alfie takes all of that off your plate. From finding the right gardener to making sure the work is completed to a high standard, we manage it end-to-end.
And with our £1,000 Guarantee, you’re always protected.
What does a gardener do?
A gardener can help with a wide range of outdoor jobs to keep your garden healthy, tidy, and looking its best throughout the year.
Hey Alfie gardeners save you time and effort by handling jobs like:
- Lawn mowing and maintenance – regular mowing, edging, and lawn care.
- Hedge trimming and pruning – shaping hedges and cutting back overgrown plants.
- Weeding and garden tidying – clearing weeds, leaves, and garden debris.
- Planting and garden improvements – planting flowers, shrubs, or small trees.
- Garden clearance – removing overgrown plants, branches, and green waste.
- Seasonal maintenance – preparing your garden for spring, summer, autumn, or winter.
- Basic landscaping tasks – laying bark, gravel, or small garden improvements.
For specialist landscaping projects like full garden redesigns, large tree removal, or complex irrigation systems, Alfie will connect you with a qualified specialist with the right expertise.
With Hey Alfie, you get the best of both worlds: a trusted gardener for everyday garden maintenance, and the right expert for more complex outdoor projects, all booked, managed, and guaranteed up to £1,000.
Can I book a gardener for multiple garden tasks?
Yes. You can list all your garden tasks in one booking, and your gardener could complete them in a single visit if they are able to.
This saves you time and money compared to booking separate visits.
Do I need to provide tools or materials?
No. Our gardeners bring their own professional gardening tools.
If special materials are needed (such as plants, soil, compost, or mulch), you can either provide them yourself or request the gardener to source them for you.
