I think for regular Contractor, hourly rate goes from 15 dollars (Junior) to 20 or a little more, reason being hard labour (depends on what kind, planting small flowers is different from a tree) is involved to a certain degree.

For Housekeeper, I am assuming you are talking about a maid whom cleans your house once a week type of deal. It can be done for a cheaper cost.

By gardener, do you mean a dude that mows your lawn or something more involved? I'd say in today's world, $10-12 an hour is okay for someone to keep your garden clean.

oh, and if you mean like a full time housekeeper... they don't get paid a lot. it's usually old ladies looking for company or supplemental income, so like $20-$25K a year is enough.

Cleaning ladies on average make about 20-25 dollars an hour. $120-140 per house.
