Your local gardener in Horley

Based in Horley since 2004, looking after clay-soil gardens and grounds across the town.

We’re a Horley firm, so anyone searching for a gardener in Horley is looking for someone a few streets away. We’ve been in RH6 since 2004. That means short drives, the same team at every visit, and a good feel for how gardens behave on this side of Gatwick, where heavy Weald Clay sits under almost every lawn in town.

Horley grew steadily after the railway arrived in 1841, and it hasn’t stopped. So the gardens are a real mix. There are Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas around Massetts Road, and the new streets at Westvale Park and The Acres, where plenty of gardens are only a few years old and still settling in.

What Horley gardens need most

Most of what we do in town is regular grass cutting and hedge work, usually rolled into a fortnightly maintenance visit. Clay is the reason. It holds water all winter, so lawns go soft and mossy, then it sets like brick in a dry July and cracks. It’s fertile, too, so privet, laurel and leylandii put on a lot every year. Leave a Horley garden alone for one summer and it gets away from you faster than you’d think.

Down by the Mole and the Burstow Stream the ground stays wetter for longer. We plan around that, and we won’t mow a lawn that’s waterlogged.

Commercial grounds around Horley and Gatwick

For a town of around 22,000 people, Horley has a surprising amount of commercial ground to look after. There are airport hotels on Povey Cross Road and Bonehurst Road, units on the Balcombe Road Industrial Estate, care homes, schools, churches and a growing number of blocks of flats. For those sites we write an annual schedule, agree a fixed price and invoice monthly or quarterly. Insurance certificates are available whenever your facilities team asks.

Gardening in Horley: your questions

Anything else, just ring. You’ll speak to the people who do the work.

Do you cover the whole of Horley?

Yes, every part of it, and about 15 miles around. That takes in Smallfield, Charlwood and Salfords, and up into Redhill and Reigate. Being based in town makes Horley gardens easy to fit into a round, even a small front lawn.

Do I need to be home when you come?

No. We work Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm, and plenty of Horley people are at the airport or on a train to London by then. As long as we can get into the garden, you don’t need to be in.

How do I get a price?

Ring 07720 886244 and we’ll come round, walk the garden with you and give you a fixed quote. It’s free. What it comes to depends on size, access and how often you want us.
