An excellent opportunity has arisen for two Experienced Gardeners to join a prestigious, family-owned private estate in Egham, Surrey. Working as part of a long-standing, close-knit team of seven, you will help maintain and develop an impressive collection of formal gardens, combining established horticultural features with newly developed garden areas.

The gardens feature established topiary, rose gardens, colourful herbaceous borders and immaculate lawns, alongside evolving landscapes that require ongoing care, refinement and development. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced gardeners seeking a rewarding private estate gardening job in Surrey, with investment in professional tools, modern machinery and the continued development of the grounds.

As an Experienced Gardener, you will play an important role in maintaining the estate’s formal gardens to an exceptional horticultural standard. Your responsibilities will include caring for established planting, maintaining lawns and hedges, pruning roses and topiary, cultivating herbaceous borders and carrying out seasonal gardening tasks.

You will also contribute to the development and refinement of newly landscaped areas, helping to shape the gardens as they continue to evolve. The role involves operating and maintaining professional horticultural machinery, including ride-on mowers, strimmers, blowers and hedge cutters, as well as managing and maintaining irrigation systems to support the health of the estate’s plant collections and lawns.

The successful candidates will be practical, knowledgeable gardeners with previous experience working in formal gardens, private estates or a similarly high-standard horticultural environment. A strong understanding of garden maintenance, plant care and horticultural best practice is essential, alongside experience operating professional gardening machinery and maintaining irrigation systems.

The salary is up to £38,000 per annum, depending on experience, with a discretionary annual bonus available following successful completion of the probationary period. This is a full-time, permanent position working from 08:00 to 16:00, five days per week, with weekends included as part of a rota.

You will benefit from working within a supportive, close-knit team with access to high-quality gardening tools, professional machinery and modern equipment. The estate is committed to investing in its gardens, offering the opportunity to contribute directly to their ongoing development and refinement.

An enhanced DBS check, covered by the employer, and the signing of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) are required as part of the employment terms.

This is an excellent opportunity for experienced horticultural professionals looking to progress their careers within a prestigious private estate in Egham, Surrey. You will join an established team responsible for maintaining exceptional formal gardens while contributing to the development of a beautiful and evolving landscape.
