Lawn Care
Lawn Care in Greenwich by Gardeners Greenwich
At Gardeners Greenwich, we provide reliable, professional lawn care for homes and businesses across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in local gardens, we understand the soils, slopes and shade patterns that define Greenwich lawns – and how to keep them healthy all year round.
What Our Lawn Care Service Includes
Our lawn care is a tailored, ongoing service designed to keep your turf neat, resilient and attractive, not just for one visit but through the seasons. Typical visits can include:
- Lawn mowing to the correct height for the time of year
- Edging along paths, patios, borders and driveways
- Scarifying to remove moss and thatch (as required)
- Aeration to relieve compaction and improve drainage
- Seasonal fertilising with appropriate feeds
- Overseeding to thicken tired or patchy lawns
- Weed control using suitable, targeted treatments
- Removal of clippings and tidy-up of hard surfaces
We always begin by assessing the condition of your lawn, your preferred finish (fine, ornamental, family-friendly, low-maintenance) and your budget. From there we create a practical programme to match.

Our Step-by-Step Lawn Care Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Gardeners Greenwich by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your lawn: approximate size, current condition, access and how often you would like it maintained. In many cases we can provide an initial estimated price range from your description and photos. Where the work is more involved, we will suggest a survey before confirming the final figure.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For simple, regular mowing, clear photos and measurements are often enough for a virtual assessment. For larger, sloping or very neglected lawns, we recommend an onsite survey in Greenwich. During the survey, we assess soil type, shade, access, drainage, and any existing damage or disease. We then explain the options, frequency and expected results in plain language, followed by a clear written quote with no hidden extras.
3. Scheduled Lawn Care Visits
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a convenient schedule – weekly, fortnightly, monthly or seasonal. Our team arrives promptly, carries out the agreed work efficiently and leaves the site tidy. We monitor how your lawn responds over time and adjust mowing height, treatments and timing as needed.
Transparent Pricing for Lawn Care in Greenwich
We price lawn care based on lawn size, access, current condition and how often you would like us to visit. Smaller, straightforward lawns with good access cost less; larger or heavily overgrown lawns require more time and may incur an initial tidy-up fee before settling into a regular maintenance rate.
All costs are discussed clearly in advance. We provide itemised quotes so you understand exactly what you are paying for – such as routine mowing, seasonal treatments, scarifying or aeration. There are no surprise charges: any additional work is always agreed with you first.
Why Choose Professional Lawn Care Over DIY?
Many Greenwich residents start with a mower and good intentions, then find the lawn deteriorates despite their efforts. Professional lawn care avoids common problems such as cutting too short, using unsuitable feeds, or compacting the soil with heavy foot traffic.
As trained, professional gardeners, we understand grass types, growth patterns and local conditions. We use commercial-grade equipment, sharpened and maintained for a clean cut that reduces stress on the grass. We also spot early signs of disease, pests or drainage issues and address them before they become costly to fix. Over a season, our clients often find professional care delivers a better result and uses their own time far more efficiently.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Gardeners Greenwich operates with full public liability cover, protecting you, your property and third parties while we work on-site. Where we transport materials or remove waste, our goods in transit insurance provides further peace of mind.
All team members are properly briefed on health and safety, safe machinery use and respectful conduct in residential and commercial settings. We take care around vehicles, glazing, boundary lines and neighbouring properties, and we are happy to show proof of insurance on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat Greenwich lawns as living systems, not just green carpets. Our approach is to improve the long-term health of your turf while minimising environmental impact. Where possible we:
- Use seasonally appropriate, measured fertilisers
- Recommend watering practices that conserve water
- Encourage good soil structure through aeration and organic matter
- Use targeted weed treatments instead of blanket spraying
- Maintain machinery for efficient, cleaner running
We also protect existing plants, borders and wildlife areas around your lawn, working carefully around bulbs, newly planted beds and established shrubs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does lawn care in Greenwich cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of your lawn, how accessible it is and its current condition. A small, straightforward lawn with regular visits will be at the lower end of our pricing, while large or very overgrown areas may need an initial restoration visit before moving to a maintenance rate. We always provide a clear, written quote before any work starts, explaining what is included. There are no hidden extras, and you can choose between one-off visits and ongoing maintenance programmes to suit your budget.
Can you offer same-day or urgent lawn care?
Same-day or urgent lawn care in Greenwich may be possible, particularly during quieter periods, but it does depend on our schedule and the size of the job. If you need a rapid tidy-up before a viewing, event or inspection, let us know your timescales when you enquire. We will always be honest about availability and, if we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest realistic slot. In all cases, we aim to respond promptly and work efficiently once booked.
Are you insured while working on my property?
Yes. Gardeners Greenwich is fully insured for the work we carry out. We hold public liability cover to protect you, your property and third parties while we are on site. Where we move equipment, materials or waste, we also have goods in transit insurance. This means you are protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident related to our work. We are happy to provide confirmation of cover on request, and we always work to established safety and professional standards.
What is included in a standard lawn care visit?
A standard lawn care visit typically includes mowing to an appropriate height, edging along paths and borders, blowing or sweeping hard surfaces, and removing the clippings we create. On agreed programmes, we may also apply feeds, spot-treat weeds, or carry out seasonal tasks such as scarifying or aeration. Every garden is different, so we tailor each visit to what your lawn actually needs and what we have agreed in your quote. If you ever want us to adjust the scope, just discuss it with us in advance.
How far in advance do I need to book?
During peak growing seasons (spring and summer), it is wise to book at least a week or two in advance to secure your preferred day and time, especially for larger lawns or detailed work. Outside the busiest periods we can often accommodate new bookings more quickly. For ongoing maintenance, we usually agree a regular slot so you do not need to keep rebooking. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a property viewing or check-out inspection, let us know as early as possible so we can plan around it.
