A landscaper builds and plants outdoor space — patios, decking, fencing, turf, walls, steps, drainage and planting schemes. "Hard" landscaping is the build; "soft" is the planting and turf. Many also offer ongoing garden maintenance.
Common jobs: New patio or deck; Full garden redesign; Turfing; Fencing and gates; Retaining wall; Levelling and drainage; Planting scheme.
Mowing, planting and laying a bit of turf are within reach for a keen gardener. Levels, drainage, retaining walls and a large patio need someone who'll get the falls and foundations right — those are the parts that fail expensively when they're rushed.
If you're not sure where the line is, the hiring guide walks through what to ask, how to vet quotes, and when to walk away.

FAQ
A business needs a 4★ Google rating and at least five reviews to be listed at all. From there we score on a combination of average rating and total review count. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star landscaper with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.
