About Us
The Garden Handyman Service was founded two years ago during my gap year, born from a simple passion for gardening and a desire to spend more time outdoors. What began as a hobby quickly grew into something much bigger. Before long, I found myself inundated with requests and receiving incredible feedback from clients. Each job gave me the chance to develop new skills, build lasting relationships, and grow the business organically.
Today, The Garden Handyman Service proudly provides a wide range of gardening services across Bedford, as outlined on our website. From routine maintenance to more specialised work, we approach every job with the same core values that started it all: honesty, hard work, and transparency.
We're proud of how far we’ve come, and even more excited about what’s ahead. Whether you're looking for regular garden care or a one-off tidy-up, we’re here to help bring your outdoor space to life.

Our Services
Below are some of our main services — we also offer a range of other general gardening work upon request.
Hedge Trimming
Neat hedges, tidy garden.
Hedge trimming is all about keeping your outdoor space looking sharp, tidy, and well-maintained. Whether it's shaping ornamental hedges or cutting back overgrown borders, we ensure a clean, precise finish every time. Regular trimming not only boosts kerb appeal but also helps keep your hedges healthy and under control.
Weeding & Patio Work
Revitalise your patio for the summer months.
We remove weeds and moss from patios, driveways, and paths to bring back a neat, tidy appearance. Left unchecked, weeds can damage joints and make surfaces slippery — our service helps maintain both the look and safety of your hard landscaping. We finish each job with a thorough sweep-down for a polished result.
Jetwashing
Bring your surfaces back to life.
Jet washing is one of the quickest ways to transform tired patios, driveways, and decking. We use high-pressure cleaning to remove built-up dirt, algae, moss, and stains, revealing the original surface underneath. The result is a cleaner, brighter, and safer outdoor space that instantly lifts the look of your garden.
Bed Preparation
The groundwork for a thriving garden.
Proper bed preparation sets the stage for healthy plants and a well-structured garden. We clear out old growth, remove weeds, turn and enrich the soil, and shape defined edges—creating a clean, fertile space ready for planting. Whether you're planning new borders or refreshing existing ones, we’ll get the groundwork done right.

Superb service, professionalism and work from Torin and Agnes, very clear about expectations, pricing and the work was of a fantastic high quality - transforming our patio back from the brink. Will be looking to hire him and his services on a more regular basis throughout the summer. Would definitely recommend.

My garden has been transformed from an overgrown mess to neat and tidy and now easy to maintain. All ivy gone and new fence panels installed. Such a great job. Hardworking, reliable and clears up afterwards. Can't fault anything and would definitely recommend Tarin and his team.

What lovely polite young men Torin and Sam are, they are diligent and hardworking. All the heavy pots were moved and replaced at the end, the patio was cleaned meticulously, we are delighted with the result, we can highly recommend and will call on their services in the future.
