What I do
Eight kinds of garden work, one gardener, one hourly rate. Regular garden maintenance is most of my week. The rest are one-off jobs, or regular care set up for a landlord or a body corporate instead of the owner who lives there. Whatever the mix on the day, you are paying for my time, and the Prices table is the same on every page.
-
01 Garden maintenance Regular visits, usually every two or three weeks, so the garden stays in hand. Weeding, pruning, hedges, edges, and the lawns while I am there.
-
02 Garden tidy ups One visit to get a garden back under control. Beds cleared, hedges shaped, edges cut, lawns done, clippings gone.
-
03 Hedge trimming Hedges trimmed to their line, or brought down to a sensible height, at the right time of year for the plant.
-
04 Lawn mowing Lawns mown and edged, on their own or as part of a garden visit. Caught or mulched, your call.
-
05 Pre-sale garden clean ups The garden tidied before the photos and the open homes. Front garden and entrance first, and everything taken away.
-
06 Overgrown garden clean ups A garden that has had a year or two to itself, cut back to a garden again, and kept that way if you want.
-
07 Rental property garden care Regular visits or a between-tenancy tidy, one point of contact, invoiced to whoever you tell me.
-
08 Body corporate garden care Shared lawns, beds and hedges at small complexes. One gardener, one invoice, one contact on the committee.
