Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with site condition, whether the landscaper handles disposal, and if minor repairs or partial replacements are required. Poorly maintained or overgrown sites and jobs that include contractor disposal or extra loading time are typically more expensive. Timing (call-outs or after-hours attendance) and any required specialist removal also influence final quotes.

  • Disposal and green waste handling

    When the contractor removes and disposes of green waste, the job usually requires extra labour and transport time for trailers, skips or transfer station runs.

  • Site condition and vegetation density

    Overgrown or poor-condition sites generally need more clearing time and handling, which can move the job into a higher band.

  • Minor repairs and partial replacements

    Including small repairs, paver replacement or edging increases the time on site and the materials required compared with a basic tidy-up.

  • Need for specialist removal

    Large woody waste, stump work or major tree removal is often out of scope for a tidy-up and usually requires a separate quote or subcontractor.

  • Call-out timing and access

    Initial call-outs, difficult site access or after-hours attendance typically extend labour time and are reflected in higher rates.

Frequently asked questions

Do landscapers need to be registered?
This trade indicates registration rather than a contractor licence, so providers are typically expected to hold relevant registration. It's usually sensible to confirm a provider's registration and any public liability insurance before work begins.
What does 'disposal included' mean?
When disposal is included, the landscaper normally handles loading and off-site removal using trailers, skips or transfer stations and factors extra labour and transport time. If you prefer to arrange disposal yourself, that is usually handled under a different scope.
Can you remove stumps or large timber?
Stump grinding and large tree removal are commonly outside tidy-up scope and often need a separate quote or specialist contractor. If you think this work is required, mention it up front and provide photos to help clarify the scope.
How should I prepare before a tidy-up?
Providing clear photos and noting areas you want addressed usually reduces uncertainty and helps the landscaper scope the job. Also clear fragile items from the work area and advise on vehicle access and any disposal preferences ahead of the visit.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to landscapers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
