SOPHIE THE GARDENER
RHS Qualified Gardener in Warrington
A BIT ABOUT ME
Your RHS Qualified, Plant-Obsessed, Desk-Hating Gardener
In the Summer of 2021 I decided that I was well and truly done with sitting behind a desk and abandoned a successful career in digital marketing for scrubbing around in the dirt!
I completed the RHS Level 3 Certificate in Horticulture at Reaseheath College which involved lots of hands-on experience at amazing places like Cholmondeley Castle Gardens and Arley Hall. I also volunteer at Grappenhall Walled Gardens.
I have a growing client base in Warrington, Lymm, Stockton Heath, Grappenhall and Thelwall. If you need some help in your garden, you've come to the right place...
GARDENING SERVICES
Below are some examples of what my clients want help with. Questions? Ask away.
Just one thing - I won’t take away your garden waste without prior arrangement.
Weekly / Fortnightly / Monthly / One-off visits.
Because it's nice to know how much things cost: For my regular customers I charge as little as £26/hr, and a 2hr visit is usually enough for most gardens.
WEEDING
Keeping your annual and perennial weeds under control by removing them properly, roots and all! I avoid the use of chemical weedkillers.
PRUNING
Pruning of your shrubs and trees at the right time of year. No mindless hacking from me! I'll also deadhead flowers for a longer blooming season.
LAWN MOWING
I will mow and edge as part of general maintenance but if you just want mowing, I'm probably not the right person for you!
HEDGE TRIMMING
With quiet, fume-free electric machinery I'll work up to around 2m high. Always in compliance with laws around nesting birds.
DIGGING AND MULCHING
Digging over beds and spreading mulch. The kind of tiring, boring job you want to pay someone else to do!
DESIGN HELP
I will happily offer planting suggestions and planting lists for your garden's conditions (soil, aspect etc.) and your tastes.
LEAF CLEAN UP
Cleaning up leaves and adding them to your green bin, or mulch pile.
PLANTING
I can plant out stuff you've bought and advise on the best place in your garden for each plant. I can also help move established plants.
GET IN TOUCH
If you're looking for some help in your garden, whether it's a one-off or something more regular, leave me a message and I will get back to you.
I'm based in Thelwall and generally cover WA4 and WA13 postcodes but feel free to get in touch if you're outside this area.
She arrived bang on time, worked very hard and did exactly what I wanted. She knows her stuff and was happy to help when asked. Will definitely use her services again.

Highly recommended!! Sophie was amazing!! My garden looks wonderful and she even moved some of the gravel around to cover the gaps as I was having pictures done to market my property! Genius! Thankyou so so much! Will 100% be using going forward! Can’t recommend highly enough!
