Our rankings are set by public Google ratings and review counts. Paying never changes a ranking; a paid placement is always a separate box labelled “Sponsored”.
Autumn in Petersfield means leaves, leylandii and a sudden belief that this is the year the garden gets sorted. Here are the garden businesses around the town that Google reviewers rate most.
We looked at garden businesses with a Petersfield-area postcode (GU31, GU32 and GU33) whose main work is gardens: tree care, garden design, regular garden maintenance and garden centres. Ratings and review counts were captured from Google on 5 October 2026; we checked each business's own website on 8 October 2026.
How we ranked them: highest Google star rating first, ties broken by review count. Businesses with at least 20 reviews (trades) or 50 reviews (garden centres) go first, because a handful of five-star reviews isn't a fair comparison with hundreds.
