Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often from clients across the 8 London districts we cover. If your question is not listed here, call us on +44 20 8599 8921 or email [email protected].

We offer 13 services covering routine and one-off garden work: lawn mowing and edging, hedge trimming, planting and bed maintenance, patio and path weeding, garden clearance, pruning of shrubs and small trees, seasonal tidy-ups, turfing, irrigation checks, leaf and green waste removal, fence and border tidying, soil feeding, and pond edge maintenance. Each service can be booked on its own or combined into a maintenance plan, depending on the size and condition of your garden.

Our typical reply time is 4 hours during business hours. If you send a request in the evening or on a Sunday, you will usually hear back the following morning. Business hours are Monday to Friday 09:30-20:00, Saturday 10:00-14:00, and Sunday 11:00-16:00. Urgent requests, such as storm damage or overgrown access paths, are flagged and handled first where possible.

We currently work across 8 districts in and around London. Our base is at 150 Upper Street, N4 0AT, and our teams travel out from there on scheduled routes each day. When you send an enquiry, let us know your postcode and we will confirm straight away whether your address falls within our current coverage, along with the nearest available appointment slot.

Pricing depends on garden size, how overgrown the plot is, and which services you need. A small front garden tidy will cost less than a full clearance of a long, neglected back garden. We provide a written quote before any work starts, broken down by task and estimated hours, so you know exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden call-out charges within our service areas.

No, you do not need to be present for most routine visits such as mowing, hedge trimming or weeding, as long as our team has clear access to the garden through a gate or agreed entry point. For the first visit, or for larger jobs like clearance and planting, we recommend being available at the start so we can confirm the scope together and answer any questions on site.

Grass cuttings, hedge trimmings and cleared foliage are bagged on site and taken away in our vehicles at the end of each job. Larger clearance work, such as removing old shrubs or a build-up of branches, is loaded separately and disposed of through licensed local waste facilities. We keep the garden tidy before we leave, so you are not left with piles of cuttings to deal with.

Yes. Many of our clients book fortnightly or monthly visits rather than one-off jobs, which keeps lawns, hedges and beds in a steady condition throughout the year. Of the 2,430 clients we have served since 2011, 644 returned for a second booking, and a good number of those moved on to a recurring schedule. We can adjust frequency by season, increasing visits in spring and summer and reducing them over winter.

Yes, our team arrives with all the tools required for the job, including mowers, hedge trimmers, pruning saws and hand tools suited to smaller beds. We service our equipment regularly so blades stay sharp, which matters for a clean cut on hedges and lawns rather than a torn, ragged finish. If a job needs specific machinery, such as a stump grinder, we will mention this in the quote in advance.

Ciwuki was founded in 2011, so we have been working on gardens across London for 15 years. Our team of 18 people includes gardeners who have handled everything from small balcony containers to full rear garden overhauls. Over that time we have completed 4,549 jobs, which means most tasks we take on, from routine mowing to more involved clearance work, are ones we have handled many times before.

Late autumn through early spring works well for clearing overgrown beds, cutting back dead growth and preparing soil, since plants are dormant and there is less risk of disturbing active growth. That said, we take on clearance jobs year-round. If you are planning a summer garden party or simply want the space usable sooner, we can schedule a clearance at short notice, weather permitting.

Yes, planting is one of our core services. Many London gardens are compact, so we focus on plants suited to smaller spaces and to shaded or wind-exposed sites common in terraced housing. We can advise on shrubs and perennials that cope well with London's clay soil and typical rainfall, and we handle bed preparation, planting and initial watering as part of the same visit.

We offer both. Routine mowing and edging keep an existing lawn in shape, while turfing is used when a lawn is patchy, worn down, or needs replacing entirely. Turfing includes clearing the old surface, levelling the ground, laying new turf and giving guidance on watering during the first few weeks so the roots establish properly.

That is common, and you do not need to know the exact service name before contacting us. Describe the garden and what is bothering you, whether that is an overgrown hedge, a patchy lawn, or a garden you have simply not had time to keep up with. We will ask a few questions and recommend which of our 13 services fit, along with a rough idea of cost and timing.

Yes, we take on communal garden maintenance for blocks of flats and shared courtyards, which are common across our London service areas. These jobs are usually arranged with a managing agent or a resident committee rather than a single homeowner, and we can set up a recurring schedule that matches the needs of a shared space, such as mowing communal lawns and keeping shared borders tidy.

You can call us on +44 20 8599 8921, email [email protected], or use the contact form on this site. Include your postcode, a short description of the garden, and photos if you have them, as this helps us give a more accurate estimate before we visit. We reply within around 4 hours during business hours and can usually offer a provisional price at that stage, confirmed on site.

Light rain rarely stops routine work such as mowing or hedge trimming, but heavy rain can make some tasks unsafe or damage a wet lawn if machinery is used on it. If weather looks likely to disrupt a booking, we contact you in advance to reschedule to the next suitable slot, usually within a few days, rather than cancelling outright.

Yes, this is a common request from clients preparing a property for viewings or a new tenancy. A single visit can cover mowing, hedge trimming, weeding and general tidying to present the garden well. Where time is limited, let us know the date you need the work finished by, and we will schedule accordingly, subject to availability across our 8 service areas.
