MY SERVICE STARTS WITH A FREE CONSULTATION VISIT.
Every garden and every person is different, so I like to meet everyone I work for and visit the garden in person, before I tailor the above services to whatever is best for you and your green space. With that in mind, as not everyone has experience of booking a gardener, please see below for a rough guide of what you can expect and what I usually arrange with my customers.
Most people hire me on an ongoing arrangement as gardens require regular upkeep, especially during the spring, summer and autumn months. These bookings are usually agreed for a set number of hours, and are normally on a weekly/fortnightly basis, but less regular arrangements (monthly) can also be made if suitable.
On average, most smaller, multi-element jobs take between 2-4 hours (ie. regular maintenance such as weeding, lawns, planting, pruning, etc) - but I will always make a fair assessment and clearly let you know what I can achieve within the time agreed on the first visit.
While I usually operate an ongoing booking system, if you’d rather book on an ad-hoc basis, that is absolutely fine as well. Please note I currently only accept 2 hour minimum bookings.
Most maintenance style jobs are subject to a base rate of £20 per hour. Bigger projects or more specialist work will cost a little more.
I also offer a day rate package, which is for those bigger jobs - ie. design projects, landscaping, full garden clearance, large gardens, design/advice and garden features. I offer this package at a discounted rate.
