How much does a gardener cost in Friesland?

Garden maintenance averages €40-80 per hour in Friesland. New garden landscaping ranges from €50-150 per m², depending on your wishes. A one-off cleanup or pruning? €150-400. The best way to know your real costs: compare quotes from multiple gardeners — prices can vary 30-40%.

How do I choose a reliable gardener?

Look for three things: insurance (against damage claims), references (Google reviews of at least 4.5★, or photos of client projects), and specialisation (does this gardener fit your project?). Red flags: no written quote, no clear prices, or no portfolio. On Hovenier.frl all gardeners are already verified — reviews come from real neighbours in your area.

What is the difference between garden maintenance and garden landscaping?

Garden maintenance = regular upkeep (mowing, pruning, weeding). Garden landscaping = completely redesigning your garden (planting, paving, green roofs). Maintenance happens 2-6 times per year; landscaping is a one-off project. Many gardeners do both, so ask about their experience with what you need.

How often should I have my garden maintained?

At least 2 times per year (spring and autumn). For a beautiful garden all year round: monthly during the growing season (May-September). Many gardeners offer subscriptions — cheaper than individual visits. What your garden needs depends on plant types, size, and how tidy you want it.

How many quotes should I request?

At least 3 quotes from different gardeners. That way you see where prices and approaches differ, and you can feel who suits you best. More than 5 is usually overkill. Make sure each quote specifies the work (not vague), includes a start date, and shows a total price — without that you are choosing blind.
