In fact, more than you would expect from a normal gardener, but with one key difference. 

What’s the difference? 

We use the latest commercial specification battery-powered emission-free eco-friendly equipment. 

Equal in quality but friendlier to our planet. Our electricity comes from an inverter meaning we don't use energy from the grid.

How are you helping our environment?

By investing in our services, you are reducing your carbon footprint whilst getting the same or better standard of care for your garden. No gasoline use reduces pollution by emitting fewer greenhouse

 gasses into our atmosphere. Not only do we reduce our carbon footprint, but the new equipment is over half the decibels of the petrol equivalent.


Waste is either incorporated back into your compost areas for the local ecosystem to process or taken to a local recycling centre to be turned into compost. We can offer a completely contactless service. 

We supply, fit and give advice on eco-friendly options, including; 

We can support you to create a more biodiverse garden. After all, your house is your largest investment, so we can cater for all options. 

So whether you’re looking for a natural garden makeover or just a more sustainable way to maintain your garden,  Your Eco Gardener is here at your service. 

How did “Your Eco Gardener” come about?

After changing careers from a desk job over a year ago, I (Benn) started an apprenticeship in Horticulture where I had this vision to provide a service

 that is a bit different from the norm but with nature at the forefront. I thought, what do I really care about? I kept coming back to 3 things, my family, my planet and my community. So by creating “Your Eco Gardener”, I served my community with a planet-friendly option to provide for my family. I have studied, passed the relevant courses, completed an apprenticeship, fully insured myself and researched tools for hours in order 

to turn my life long hobby and passion into my job....well with your support. 

Recently I have teamed up with Tony who has over 2 decades experience in this field-he is an award winning,  qualified ecologist whose knowledge is second to none. The combination giving our customers experience and advice which cannot be matched.  

What’re your future plans?  

Although our tools are emission-free, our transport isn’t yet. We have plans to change that as a priority once a sustainable income is reached. An electric van would make the business emission-free, the only garden service in the south to offer this. Post Coronavirus, we have plans to work in partnership with local schools and clubs to educate on nature, wildlife and promote sustainable conservation. We will volunteer at our local garden nursery and help vulnerable people with their gardening, supporting our community as the community supports me to grow. Most of our work is private, but our vision is to be able to compete with larger companies. Gaining contracts from business and local councils will have a bigger impact on tackling greenhouse gasses and help companies reach their emission targets. But more importantly, it shows there isn’t always a need for old fashioned petrol-guzzling machinery.

There is a better way. 

Who are we?

Well, let us introduce ourselves, I'm Benn, an I live in Bournemouth with my wife and 2 young children. We all love being outside enjoying nature. My eldest will often be found helping me in the garden, digging for worms being her favourite pastime. 

Tony is also Bournemouth based and has a wife an young child who loves Moana and watches it every night. We can often be heard "singing" parts of the film to each other.

I feel very lucky to have found Benn. Having not used a professional gardener before I was rather anxious, about to expect, personally and financially. I also felt some embarrassment as my garden was a real mess. I need not have worried. Benn is a warm and friendly guy, who is knowledgeable and professional without being pretentious. He did not judge, he listened and offered some ideas. Benn's colleague Tony came to give him a hand. He too was a professional. They both made my elderly Mum feel comfortable while they did the work. The work was off a high standard and good value for the money I paid. In short, I can highly recommend Benn and will now use his services regularly.

Impeccable! My husband and I were looking for a considerable amount of time for a good gardener, someone that could advise us about plants, hedging and landscaping. Ben and his assistant did an excellent job with the level of professionalism expected from people who know their field. Highly recommended!!

I would highly recommend Benn and his team. Benn is professional, friendly and with a high level of expertise in plants and planting. Benn and his team did several jobs for us but what was impressive was when asked to remove several large bushes they took great care to remove all of the roots - unlike other gardeners we have used who only removed the roots to just below soil level. Benn also gave very useful advice on replanting . We will certainly use Your Eco Gardener again - a great job done at a very fair price.

Benn, Lara and Joe arrived on time and in just 3 hours completely transformed my overgrown back garden. They also took care of a very overgrown shrub at the front as well. They were polite, courteous, knowledgeable and provided a really excellent service.
