Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the size and condition of the garden and the scope you choose. A standard visit assumes a reachable suburban garden with basic equipment and consumable materials, while the premium grooming add-on typically increases labour and uses higher‑quality materials. Large green‑waste removal, restricted access or after‑hours attendance can also increase the overall scope.
Garden size and condition
Larger or overgrown gardens typically require more time and labour than small, well‑kept yards.
Standard versus premium scope
The premium grooming add‑on usually adds detailed hedge shaping, mulching, bed preparation or small planting, increasing labour and materials.
Green‑waste removal volume
Standard visits assume no large‑volume green‑waste removal; bulk waste is generally quoted separately and expands the job scope.
Materials quality and plant choice
Higher‑quality mulch or selected plants in the enhancement package typically increase material allowances and can affect time on site.
Access and site complexity
Restricted access, steep or awkward layouts can make the work take longer and may require different equipment or methods.
