What moves the price
- Size of the garden — a larger garden takes more time to mow, weed and tidy on each visit.
- Complexity of the tasks — pruning, hedge shaping and planting take more care than mowing and weeding.
- Frequency of service — regular visits keep a garden under control, so each one is often shorter than a one-off.
- Materials used — mulch, compost and new plants for the garden are usually charged on top of the visit.

How to pay less
- Booking regular visits stops the garden getting overgrown, which costs less than an occasional heavy tidy.
- Composting clippings on site, if you have space, avoids paying for garden waste removal.
- Mulching beds cuts down on weeding at later visits, so each garden visit takes less time.
- Doing simple jobs like watering and deadheading yourself lets the gardener focus on skilled work in less time.
- Using your own compost and mulch, where you have it, saves buying materials on top of the visit.
Before you book
