Garden Maintenance
Once a garden has been rescued, keeping it that way is the easy part. Pick a rhythm that suits you and we handle the rest on a schedule.
What this is
About our garden maintenance
A large share of the clearance work we do is on gardens that were fine three years ago. Nothing dramatic happened — the upkeep just slipped, and a garden left alone does not stay still. Regular maintenance is far cheaper than periodic rescue, and considerably less disruptive.
We work to a schedule that fits the garden rather than a one-size visit. A small courtyard with pots and a couple of shrubs might need monthly attention. A lawn you want looking sharp through summer wants fortnightly visits in the growing season and less over winter. We would rather set that honestly than sell you visits you do not need.
There is no long tie-in. Plenty of our maintenance customers started with a one-off clearance, saw the garden come back, and asked us to keep it. If it stops being useful, you tell us and we stop coming — that is the whole arrangement.
What is included
- Mowing, edging and strimming to a consistent standard
- Border weeding and hoeing
- Light pruning, deadheading and shrub shaping
- Hedge trimming on an agreed cycle
- Seasonal cutbacks in autumn and early spring
- Leaf clearance through autumn
- Patio, path and drive sweeping and weeding
- All arisings removed at every visit
- Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or seasonal schedules
Every job is quoted as a fixed price, and every price includes removing the waste.
Do you need this?
You probably need this if…
No sales pitch — just the situations that usually mean it is time to make the call.
- You have had the garden cleared and want to keep it that way
- The lawn gets away from you in the growing season
- You are time-poor, travel a lot, or the garden is at a second property
- Bending, kneeling or heavy lifting has become difficult
- You manage a let property and want the garden kept presentable
- You enjoy the planting but not the mowing, edging and weeding
How it runs
Our maintenance process
Step by step, so you know exactly what happens and in what order.
- 01
Walk the garden together
We look at what you have, what you care about most, and what you want left alone. Some people want their borders touched by nobody but themselves, which is fine.
- 02
Set the schedule and the scope
We agree what happens on each visit and how often, with a fixed price per visit. You know what you are getting and what it costs before the first one.
- 03
Regular visits, same standard
We turn up on the agreed rhythm and work through the scope. Waste goes with us every time — nothing accumulates in a corner.
- 04
Seasonal adjustments
Visits get busier in spring, more about leaves in autumn, and lighter in winter. We flag bigger seasonal jobs in advance rather than surprising you with them.
What you get
Why it is worth doing properly
It never becomes a rescue job again
The arithmetic is simple: regular visits cost a fraction of what clearing a neglected garden costs, and the garden is usable the whole time.
One fixed price per visit
You know the cost per visit and what it covers. No hourly billing, no surprises when the grass grows faster than expected.
No contract to get out of
Pause it, change the frequency or stop entirely. We would rather keep you because it is working than because you signed something.
The same people, who know the garden
Familiarity matters more than it sounds. Knowing which shrub is due a hard prune and which one the owner is precious about is what makes maintenance good.
Pricing
What affects the price
We quote per job rather than per hour, so the number cannot creep. These are the things that move it up or down.
The fastest route to a price: send two or three photos on WhatsApp. We can usually quote from photos the same day, with no site visit needed.
- 01Size of the garden and the amount of lawn
- 02Visit frequency — more frequent visits cost less each
- 03How much border, hedge and planting is included in the scope
- 04Whether hedge cutting and seasonal work are bundled or quoted separately
- 05Waste volume, which varies a lot between summer and autumn
- 06Access, and whether we can leave equipment on site

The things people ask us most about this particular job.
For pricing, booking, waste and legal questions that apply to every job, see our full FAQ page.
For most domestic gardens with lawn, fortnightly through the growing season (roughly March to October) and monthly or as-needed through winter works well. Small courtyard gardens are usually fine monthly year-round. We will suggest a rhythm after seeing it rather than defaulting to the most frequent option.
No. There is no tie-in and no notice period to worry about. You can change frequency, pause over winter, or stop whenever you like.
Not at all, provided we have access to the garden — normally a side gate. Most of our maintenance rounds happen while people are at work.
Yes, included. Cuttings and clippings leave with us at every visit, so nothing piles up behind the shed.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We invoice landlords and agents directly and can report back with photos after each visit if that helps with tenant or owner communication.
