Garden maintenance

How much does garden maintenance cost?

Garden maintenance prices depend on the size of the garden, how overgrown it is and whether waste needs to be removed. We cover Halesowen, Birmingham, Dudley, Stourbridge, Wolverhampton, Solihull and surrounding towns.

  • Small lawn cut & tidy — from £45
  • Standard garden tidy-up — from £90
  • Hedge trim & shrub cutting — from £45 per hour
  • Larger clearances — quoted in writing

What affects the price?

Garden size
Larger gardens take more time and waste disposal space.
Overgrowth level
Heavy brambles, long grass and thick hedges take longer to clear.
Waste removal
Green waste is taken to licensed disposal sites and charged by load size.
Access
Side gates, rear gardens and parking affect how quickly we can work.
