Job Summary

We're looking for an experienced and reliable garden maintenance operative to join My Tidy Garden, a fast-growing garden services company in Bournemouth and Poole. You'll be responsible for maintaining domestic and commercial gardens to a high standard, looking after tools, and building relationships with customers. This role offers flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to grow within the business.

You'll thrive here if you're self-motivated, confident working independently in customers' gardens, and take genuine pride in the standard of your work. Reliability, honesty, and flexibility are non-negotiable. A full UK driving licence is essential, as you'll be operating a large company van.

We're looking for someone ready to hit the ground running, equally comfortable grafting solo or contributing to a small, tight-knit team. At My Tidy Garden, your input matters. We listen to our people, value their experience, and make sure every team member feels like exactly that: a valued member of the team.

What You'll Do

Carry out regular garden maintenance including mowing, strimming, weeding, and pruning
Communicate professionally and warmly with regular customers
Maintain and clean tools and equipment after every job
Check and replenish fuel, oil, and other consumables as needed
Identify and report garden issues or customer needs to the team

What You'll Bring

2+ years of hands-on experience in garden maintenance (essential)
Good knowledge of plants, tools, and garden machinery
The ability to work independently and manage your time effectively
A friendly, professional manner and confidence in customer interactions
Physical fitness and a positive attitude toward working in all weather
A full, clean UK driving licence, with the ability to drive a large company van

Who You Are

You take pride in your work and leave every garden better than you found it
You're punctual, reliable, and don't need chasing to get things done
You're friendly and confident around customers without being prompted
You spot things that need attention and use your initiative, rather than waiting to be told
You treat company tools and equipment as if they were your own
You're honest, straightforward, and easy to work with
You want to be part of something growing, not just fill a role
