When and Why Do You Need a Gardener Housekeeper?

If you have a property and garden that will require two specialists skills, that being the housekeeping and then the gardening, this is a perfect solution.

If you have a small garden and wanted your housekeeper to do some light gardening, this is also possible. But for many larger properties and estates, with larger gardens or grounds, this would take a team of two to get the job done.

You’ll have complete peace of mind that your home is cared for, your family and friends and guests are cared for, and that the grounds and gardens are cared for. It’s a wonderfully practical solution and can be a cost-effective way to hire home help.

    Looking to enquire what the estimate price would be to have a live in couple for our family home. One would be required to do gardening and some light maintenance work. The other would be required to do housework, some child care and running of errands. They would have their own 3 bed property to live in, bill free. The main property, which is next door, is a 5 bed property with 7 people including 3 children. The land is approximately 5 or 6 acres but the garden They would need to attend to is maybe 1 or 2 acres.
