Regular Maintenance is charged at an hourly rate and is payable by standing order only.
A garden classed as a ‘one hour’ garden, will cost £70 a month x 12 monthly payments per year (PCM). This means the garden will have 18 visits a year every fortnight from the beginning of March until mid November. With 2 people working this will mean that the gardener and their helper will be in the garden for half an hour. They will each give the customer half an hour’s work.
1 Hour Regular Maintenance – One hour per fortnight £ 70.00 PCM
1 and 1/2 Hours Regular Maintenance – One and a half hours per fortnight £ 105.00 PCM
2 Hours Regular Maintenance – Two hours per fortnight £140.00 PCM
2 and 1/2 Hours Regular Maintenance – Two and a half hours per fortnight £175.00 PCM
3 Hours Regular Maintenance – Three hours per fortnight £210.00 PCM
Strim and mow only – One visit per fortnight – Starts from £50 PCM
Garden services are one-off jobs that require no contracts and are charged at an hourly rate. Any Digging, heavy-duty strimming, large hedges or tree work is not included under this pricing. If unsure, please call the office 01634 264212. On average, we use one “One Tonne Sack” of waste per hour worked; however, if you have a large job, it could require more. Time is divided by the number of gardeners on site. 2 hours with 2 gardeners = 1 hour on site.
1 Hour One-Off Work – Hourly Gardening Rate £40.00
1/2 Tonne Sack of Waste – Limited to garden waste- weight limited, must be moveable £10.00
Chemicals – 2.5 L – Half a spray tub. £5.00
If your grass has got too long, you might require heavy-duty strimming. Although this is more costly than our standard Gardening rate per hour, it can be more cost-effective over the whole job.
If there are 2 Gardeners, one hour becomes 30 minutes on site; one will Strim while another rakes and bags.
Heavy Duty Strimming – £60 PER HOUR
1/2 Tonne Sack of Waste – Limited to garden waste – weight limited, must be movable £10.00
If your hedge is taller than 7 ft, then this cannot be carried out under our One-off Service. Our Gardeners/ Tree Surgeons capable of these hedges are qualified and insured. Hedges under 7ft can be trimmed under Garden Services – One Off Work.
Hedge Trimming over 7ft – 2 x Gardeners (One Trimming, One Clearing) £120 PER HOUR
1/2 Tonne Sack of Waste – Limited to garden waste – weight limited, must be movable £10.00

The cost of hiring a gardener depends on the type of work required and whether you need regular maintenance or a one-off visit.
At Garden Care, standard one-off gardening costs £40 per hour, while regular garden maintenance starts from £70 per calendar month, payable by standing order.
Our monthly maintenance plans spread the annual charge across 12 payments, with 18 visits scheduled from early March until mid-November. Gardening hours are based on the combined working time of the team. For example, two gardeners working for 30 minutes each provide one hour of gardening labour.
Specialist services, including heavy-duty strimming, tall hedge trimming and digging, have separate hourly rates. Turfing, tree surgery and decking are priced by individual quotation.
