Gardening & grounds maintenance in Singapore

Updated 31 October 2026

Gardening and grounds maintenance in Singapore usually costs S$60 to S$80 per hour for one gardener on a basic visit, and about S$150 for a short session with two gardeners. A one-time clean-up of an overgrown garden runs roughly S$150 to S$600. For prices on your own garden, describe the job in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Rules and what to check

Gardeners here do not always need a formal licence to work as sole traders, and most landscaping operations need no special licence. So ask about qualifications and experience instead. Companies that employ landscape maintenance staff must meet the Progressive Wage Model for the landscape sector, covering both wages and training. Ask the company to confirm this before you agree to a monthly contract.

When the work peaks

Singapore has no winter, so plants grow all year and there is no dormant season to plan around. The wetter months speed up growth, which means more weeding, more mowing and more debris to clear. If the garden is overgrown now, book a clean-up before the wetter months, and check that the quote includes removing the cuttings.

How the work is priced

Gardeners are usually booked by the hour, by the session or by the month. Basic work is quoted at S$60 to S$80 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum in one listing, and at S$150 per hour when machinery is needed. Give the plot area in square metres, the standard unit here. Ask whether a visit includes watering, debris clearing and green-waste removal.

What to put in your request

Say what the job is (lawn, shrubs, pruning or a full clean-up), the plot area, the number of plants and the condition of the plot. Add how often you want visits, your address (Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands, Ang Mo Kio or elsewhere in Singapore), the start date and your budget. A flat and a landed home need very different crews, so say which one it is.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the garden in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. The AI asks for what is missing, looks through gardening companies' websites and price lists in Singapore, and shows the prices it finds. Sellers registered here receive your request and reply in the chat with their own price, terms and visit schedule. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to contact.
