Do you offer free quotes and how do I book?

Yes — all quotes are completely free and no-obligation . Simply call, text, or use the website quote form with your postcode and brief job description. You can also send photos for a fast, accurate estimate. Most enquiries receive a reply the same day.

What areas do you cover?

We’re based in Poole and cover all surrounding areas including Bournemouth, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ferndown, and the New Forest . If you’re slightly further out, just ask — we often travel for larger jobs or full-day bookings.

Are you insured and licensed?

Absolutely. Rotherwood Gardening is fully insured for gardening, exterior cleaning, and van work. We also hold a Waste Carrier Licence with the Environment Agency, so all garden waste and materials are disposed of safely and legally.

What are your working hours and availability?

We work Saturday & Sunday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm by appointment . Evening slots are ideal for homeowners who work during the day, and we’re happy to adjust timings during busy periods or shorter daylight hours.

How does payment work?

We accept bank transfer, cash, or card payments once the job is complete. Invoices and receipts are available for all work, including landlords and small businesses. Regular customers can also arrange ongoing maintenance plans with flexible payment options.

What happens in bad weather or with waste removal?

Light rain usually isn’t an issue, but heavy rain or strong winds may delay outdoor work for safety. If we need to reschedule, we’ll contact you promptly and find the soonest available date. All garden waste, leaves, trimmings, and debris are removed and disposed of responsibly as part of the service unless you prefer to handle disposal yourself.

Our Story

If you’re searching for a gardener in Poole, you’ve come to the right place. Rotherwood Gardening is a trusted local business offering professional garden maintenance, lawn care, hedge trimming, and full garden clearances throughout Poole, Bournemouth, and the wider Dorset area.

Behind Rotherwood is Greg, a hard-working local tradesman with a lifelong love for the outdoors. After studying Ecology, Greg developed a deep understanding of how natural environments work — from soil health to plant balance and habitat care. That knowledge now shapes how he approaches every garden, whether it’s a small tidy-up or a complete restoration.

He believes every outdoor space — no matter how overgrown or neglected — has the potential to become somewhere functional, balanced and beautiful again.
