Garden Maintenance: from £15.00 per hour
Grass ,Hedge ... cutting is FIXED PRICE
General garden tidy -
As a gardener I try to make £120 - £170 a day. I quote between £100 - £150 for most jobs and have equipment to get it done faster than the majority of other services.
( Doing the right job at the right time of the year will help you spread the cost and keep your garden healthy - see our advice page.
Most traders aim to earn a minimum of £150 a day - that's £15 - £45 per hour. However, this rate will be effected by:
- Minimum call out charge - because a gardener may charge by the hour rather than by the day, much of the day will include unpaid travel from job to job. For this reason, a gardener will likely have a minimum charge of 2 hours labour or similar.
- If you don’t need 2 hours work i.e. you just want the grass cut, then your gardener will likely offer a FIXED PRICE for a specific job. A FIXED PRICE will vary according to the circumstances. As a result, the FIXED PRICE will have no relation to the gardener’s standard hourly rates. To illustrate, a window cleaner does not work for an hourly rate – it just wouldn’t be practical. Neither could a gardener cut a small lawn for an hourly rate.
- Rates may increase for regional variations.
- Will increase as the level of danger does.
- Generally excludes removal of cuttings, chemicals etc
The gardener may also have one hourly rate for manual tools and another for petrol tools. This is because of the higher cost of maintaining petrol tools and because they work faster with petrol tools – shooting yourself in the foot when you charge by the hour!
Although he/she may charge more and work faster - being experienced and familiar with their own professional tools will result in a superior finish. Their insurance will put things right in the event of an accident and you are not responsible if they hurt themselves on their own tools. They have an incentive to do a good job - their reputation as a professional and... show more the prospect of repeat business and recommendations. Their professional tools have achieved much more in the time - giving you value for money.
If you do this he/she will likely give you priority over any ad-hoc or new customers when you need hedges pruned, planting, soft landscaping etc - especially during the colder months. )

Amy D. asked:Anyone recommend a gardener. I just need all these weeds pulled up and deweeded so it doesn't grow back. I don't have lots to spend for it but would be grateful if anyone can help. Proving impossible with a toddler! I have the stuff to kill the weeds I just need someone to tidy it all up.
