Why Skilled Gardeners and Landscapers Choose Grafter
Grafter works for every kind of gardener and landscaper. Sole-trader gardeners building a regular mowing round across a few postcodes. Trained landscapers with City & Guilds or RHS qualifications looking for design-and-build work over the spring and summer. Hard landscapers who specialise in patios, decking, and fencing and want a steady stream of garden builds. NPTC-ticketed tree surgeons and hedge workers who need feast-or-famine work to even out. Groundsmen and grounds-maintenance crews chasing rolling commercial and estate contracts. The same profile fits all of them — and clients see your work history and reviews before they message you.
The big difference between Grafter and a lead-buying site or a gardener agency is who keeps the money. There is no daily margin coming off your rate, no per-quote charge whether or not you win the job, and no agency timesheet to chase. You agree the rate directly with the client, keep 100% of it, and build a portable profile of seasonal photos and reviews that travels with you across every garden. You pick which gardening and landscaping jobs to apply to and how many you take on — work on Grafter alongside any existing maintenance round, letting-agent contract, or agency you already use.
Garden work rarely sits in one bucket. If you also turn your hand to ground work, labouring, or construction work, you can list every skill on the same Grafter profile and apply to jobs across all of them — useful in the quieter winter months.

Types of Gardener and Landscaper Jobs You Can Find on Grafter
Maintenance Rounds & Lawn Care
Regular weekly or fortnightly visits — mowing, edging, strimming, blowing down, and seasonal jobs like scarifying and feeding. Posted by busy homeowners, downsizers, and second-home owners who want a reliable gardener on a fixed schedule.
Soft Landscaping & Planting Schemes
Border re-designs, planting schemes, lifting and dividing, raised beds, and seasonal bedding. Posted by homeowners after a refreshed garden and by clients working with a designer who needs a horticulturally-trained gardener to plant the scheme.
Hard Landscaping & Outdoor Builds
Patios, paths, sleeper walls, decking, fencing, gates, and pergolas. Posted by homeowners turning a tired garden into an outdoor living space, and by builders who need a reliable hard-landscaper to finish the outside of an extension.
Tree Surgery & Hedge Work
Hedge cutting, reductions, and removals, plus tree pruning, crown lifting, felling, and stump grinding for ticketed operators. Posted by homeowners with overgrown boundaries, councils and estates with seasonal hedge runs, and managing agents booking annual works.
Garden Clearances & Restorations
Resetting an overgrown plot from scratch — bramble and weed clearance, levelling, rubbish and green waste removal, and hand-back ready for the next stage. Posted by landlords on tenancy turnovers, executors selling probate properties, and homeowners taking on a new house.

Rolling commercial work — office grounds, retail park frontage, school playing fields, communal gardens on housing estates, and car park planting. Posted by facilities managers, school caretakers, and managing agents who need a dependable contractor on a regular visit pattern.
What Gardeners and Landscapers Say About Grafter
★★★★★
"I was trying to grow a maintenance round on my own and getting nowhere. Joined Grafter, picked up four homeowners in BN1 and BN3 within a month, and three of them are now on a fortnightly visit. Best thing — no agency clipping my ticket on the way through."
★★★★★
"I do mostly hard landscaping — patios, sleeper walls, decking. The job feed gives me a proper read on what is being asked for before I apply, and the photos I uploaded of past builds did most of the work. Won a three-week back-garden job in Leith on the back of one message."
★★★★★
"NPTC chainsaw and aerial-rescue, doing tree work around Norfolk. I used to bid on lead-buying sites and it was hit and miss. On Grafter the clients have already seen my tickets and reviews when they message, so I am not pricing into a wall — most enquiries turn into a quote and most quotes into a job."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find gardener and landscaper work on Grafter?
Sign up free as a Grafter, build a gardener and landscaper profile that lists the work you take on (maintenance rounds, soft landscaping, hard landscaping, tree work), your travel radius, your tickets, and a few photos of past gardens, and local jobs start arriving in your feed and inbox. Apply in one click and message the client to talk through site access, plant choices, materials, and timings.
Is Grafter free to join as a gardener?
Yes. Grafter is completely free for gardeners and landscapers — no signup fee, no monthly subscription, and no charge to apply for jobs. Grafter only charges clients a small platform fee, so what you agree with the homeowner, letting agent, or site manager is yours to keep in full.
How do I get paid for gardening and landscaping work on Grafter?
Once you and the client agree a job — whether that is a single garden tidy, a fortnightly maintenance visit, or a multi-week landscaping build — a work agreement is created on the platform covering scope, materials, and payment. Payment is handled securely through Grafter once the work is signed off, so you are not chasing weekend invoices or waiting on letting-agent payment runs.
What documents should I upload to my gardener and landscaper profile?
Strong gardener and landscaper profiles include any City & Guilds or RHS horticulture qualifications you hold, NPTC chainsaw and aerial-rescue tickets if you do tree work, NPTC PA1/PA6 spraying certificates if you handle herbicides, public liability insurance (most homeowners ask for this), waste-carrier registration if you remove green waste, and a CSCS card if you take on commercial grounds work. Upload a portfolio of past gardens — before/after of clearances and finished landscaping shots travel particularly well — and clients can review your documents, reviews, and work history before deciding to hire you.
What types of gardener and landscaper jobs can I find on Grafter?
Garden jobs on Grafter cover the full range of outdoor work — regular mowing rounds and lawn care, soft landscaping and planting schemes, hard landscaping such as patios, paths, decking and fencing, hedge cutting and tree surgery for ticketed operators, full garden clearances and restorations on overgrown plots, and rolling grounds-maintenance contracts for schools, estates, and commercial premises. List the specialisms you cover on your profile and the matching jobs come through.
How does Grafter differ from a traditional gardener agency?
Agencies and lead-buying sites take a daily margin off your day rate or charge per quote, decide which clients you are sent to, and can stop sending work at any point. Grafter is a direct-hire platform — you keep 100% of what you agree with the client, build your own relationships and repeat-customer round, and pick the gardening jobs you want. There is no commission taken from your pay and no-one negotiating the rate on your behalf.
Do I need my own tools to work as a gardener on Grafter?
Yes — gardening and landscaping jobs assume you turn up with your own kit. For maintenance work that usually means a rotary or cylinder mower, a strimmer, hedge cutters, a leaf blower, secateurs, loppers, a pruning saw, and a vehicle that will take green waste. Hard landscaping needs a wheelbarrow, spirit levels, a wacker plate or compactor, mixer, and the usual cordless tools. Tree work needs your chainsaws, climbing kit, and PPE. Plants, paving, and bulk materials are normally supplied by the client — the job post will say either way.
Can I set my own availability and choose which gardening jobs to apply for?
Yes. You set your own availability, your travel radius, and the kinds of garden jobs you take on. Take a single tidy-up day, a fortnightly maintenance round, or a three-week landscaping build — Grafter has no minimum hours and no exclusivity, so you can work on Grafter alongside any existing round, agency, or letting-agent contract you already have.
How do reviews work for gardeners and landscapers on Grafter?
After every paid garden job, the client can leave you a review on your profile. Those reviews stay with you across every future job, which matters a lot for gardening — clients hand over the keys to their garden, so they shortlist on past work and reputation. The more reviews and seasonal photos of finished gardens you build up, the more often your profile gets picked when a gardener and landscaper job is posted in your area.
How do I win more gardener and landscaper work on Grafter?
The gardeners who win the most work tend to keep a complete profile with seasonal photos of finished jobs — neat lawns and edges, planted borders, finished patios, before/after clearances — list which jobs they will and will not take (e.g. tree work over a certain height, ride-on mowing, herbicide application), upload their tickets and insurance, and reply quickly when a client messages. Many clients shortlist the first applicant who can give them a clear yes on a start date, so a fast, specific reply often wins the job.
