Putney, South West London

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Lead Gardener to join a well‑established garden design, build and maintenance company delivering high‑quality garden care across South West London. This role is ideal for a knowledgeable, hands‑on gardener who takes pride in their work and enjoys maintaining gardens to an exceptional standard.

You'll work across a varied portfolio of residential gardens, leading small teams on site and taking responsibility for daily maintenance, presentation, and client satisfaction. This is a senior maintenance role for someone confident in practical horticulture, seasonal planning, and soft landscaping works.

What's on Offer

  • £30,000-£34,000 DOE
  • Permanent, full‑time position with consistent workload
  • Company vehicle, uniform, and pension provided
  • Opportunity to work on a diverse range of high‑quality gardens across London
  • Supportive team environment within a respected horticultural business

Key Responsibilities

  • Carry out high‑quality garden maintenance across a range of residential and commercial properties
  • Lead and support a Gardener, working typically in teams of two
  • Maintain up to three gardens per day to a consistently high standard
  • Undertake all core horticultural tasks including pruning, lawn care, plant care, and border maintenance
  • Operate and maintain power tools safely, including strimmers, hedge cutters, mowers, and blowers
  • Identify pests, diseases, and plant health issues, implementing appropriate treatments
  • Implement soft landscaping schemes as required
  • Communicate professionally with clients, providing a reliable and friendly service
  • Take pride in presentation, organisation, and ownership of assigned gardens

What We're Looking For

  • A minimum of 3 years' experience in practical amenity horticulture
  • Strong horticultural knowledge across plants, pruning, lawn care, and seasonal tasks
  • Experience leading or mentoring others within a gardening or maintenance setting
  • Confident using all standard gardening tools and equipment
  • Able to work independently while also contributing positively to a team environment
  • Well‑presented, punctual, and professional at all times
  • Formal horticultural qualifications are an advantage but not essential
  • Good communication skills and a positive, flexible attitude
  • Full UK driving licence required

If you're an experienced gardener who enjoys leading by example and delivering gardens you can be proud of, I'd be happy to discuss this opportunity further.
