When you’re looking for help with your outdoor space, it’s easy to get confused by the terms “gardener” and “landscape gardener.” Many people search online for “landscape gardener near me” when what they really need is a regular gardener to keep their garden healthy and tidy. Here’s a simple guide to the difference.
A gardener focuses on the day-to-day care and upkeep of your garden. Typical tasks include:
Lawn mowing and edging
Weeding and border maintenance
Light pruning and deadheading
Planting seasonal flowers or vegetables
Sweeping paths and keeping areas tidy
A gardener works with the plants and soil to make sure your garden looks good all year round. This is what Ladybird Gardening specialises in: friendly, eco-conscious garden care in Deal and surrounding areas.
A landscape gardener usually works on bigger projects. This often involves designing and building new features in your garden, such as:
Patios, decking and fencing
Ponds, rockeries or raised beds
Laying turf or installing artificial grass
Creating new garden layouts and planting schemes
These projects can take days or weeks and often involve heavier construction work.
If your garden needs regular maintenance like mowing, weeding, planting, seasonal tidying and expert planning advice, then you need a gardener like me.
If you want to fundamentally redesign or rebuild your garden with new hard landscaping, you’ll need a landscape gardener.
