Garden maintenance
The price of a maintenance visit is set by the garden area. Garden area is the total area of lawn, beds and borders maintained, measured at the site survey.
| Garden area | Time on site | Price per visit |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 50 m² | 2 hours | £70 |
| 51 to 100 m² | 3 hours | £105 |
| 101 to 200 m² | 4 hours | £140 |
| Over 200 m² | 4 hours + 1 hour per extra 50 m² | £140 + £35 per extra 50 m² |
Every maintenance visit includes
- mowing and edging lawns
- weeding beds and borders
- deadheading and seasonal pruning of shrubs and perennials
- leaf clearance and sweeping paths and patios
- a written note of the work done and the work due next visit
Green waste from a visit goes in your garden waste bin. Waste that does not fit is removed at £40 per 1 m³ bag.
