Price examples
To get an insight into the average prices, you can take a look at the price examples below. Then you will know approximately what price to expect for your project.
Periodic garden maintenance
Are you looking for a gardener to come by weekly or monthly to maintain your garden so that your garden always looks tidy? He will then carry out tasks such as pruning, weed removal, grass cutting, fertilising etc. This depends entirely on your wishes. If you hire a gardener to come by periodically, you decide how often and when he comes. A gardener costs between £35 and £55 per hour, and maintenance usually takes a gardener around 4 hours of work.
Do you need a gardener only once because a tree needs to be removed from your garden? When removing a tree, the price is determined by several factors. The location is considered, as well as how big and how old the tree is. Cutting down a tree costs on average between £400 and £800.
Getting your lawn maintained
Would you like to get your lawn maintained only? There are 2 things that go into properly maintaining your lawn: mowing and scarifying. Grass should be mowed on time; in fact, if the grass gets too long, it is more difficult to cut. Especially in the growing season, it is best to mow the lawn weekly. Mowing a 100 m² lawn costs between £ 25 and £ 35. It is also advisable to scarify your lawn twice a year. This is done to combat moss. On average, scarifying costs between £ 100 and £ 140 for a 100 m² lawn.
Pricing structure garden maintenance
What choices determine garden maintenance prices?
The prices of a gardener differ per task. The price is determined by the choices below.
Choice 1: Have your garden maintained?
Do you have a garden that needs to be maintained, but have not found the time to be able to do it yourself? For that, hire a gardener. A gardener takes an average of 4 hours over a garden, and when he is done, your garden will look neat and tidy again. The tasks of a gardener who carries out garden maintenance usually include:
- Keeping weeds free
- Priming plants and trees
- Fertilising plants
- Cutting hedges
- Taking care of lawns, paving and terraces.
This of course depends on what needs to be done in your garden. You can choose to have the gardener come by once, but you can also enter into a contract in which you agree on how often the gardener will visit. Usually, a fixed price is then agreed. On average, a gardener costs between £ 35 and £ 55 per hour, depending on what needs to be done. Get quotes and you can easily and quickly see what garden maintenance will cost in your situation.
Choice 2: Do you want to have a tree cut down?
Do you not need a gardener to maintain your entire garden, but only want to have a tree, or several, removed from your garden? That’s another thing you hire a gardener or landscaper for. The cost is determined by a number of different factors. A large and old tree costs more than a young small tree, which is easier to remove. In addition, the location is considered. If a tree has plenty of room to fall, it will cost less than a tree standing in a difficult spot where it cannot be cut down just like that.
The cost of cutting down a small tree is on average around £400, the cost of an average tree is around £600 and cutting down a large tree costs an average of £800. In addition, a tree stump remains after cutting down a tree. If you want the tree completely removed, the cost is between £65 and £80 per hour.
Choice 3: Get your lawn mowed
To keep a nice green lawn, it is important to mow it regularly. This is because if grass gets too long, it is more difficult to mow. Especially during the growing season, from May to October, it is recommended to mow it weekly. If you don’t have the time or resources for this, it is smart to have a gardener do it. The price of having a lawn mowed is between £25 and £30 for a 100 m² lawn.
Choice 4: Or would you like to have your lawn scarified?
It is best to scarify your lawn twice a year. Over time, a layer of thatch develops on your grass. This is a layer of dried grass, weeds, moss and organic waste. If this layer becomes too thick, the grass will suffocate and be displaced. Bare and pale patches can also appear if the lawn is not maintained properly. Scarifying your lawn is done as soon as the night frost is gone. It is therefore recommended to do this in the months of March and August. Scarifying a lawn up to 100 m² costs between £100 and £140.
Choice 5: Additional options
| Service | Price | When do you have this done |
|---|---|---|
| Grass removal | £2.50 – £3 per 25 m² of mowing | This is the removal of the grass left behind after mowing. |
| Dispose of scarifying greenery | £ 5 – £ 6 per 25 m² of scarifying | After scarifying, greenery is left behind, this is rubbish such as weeds and moss. This still needs to be removed after scarifying. |
| Edge cutting | £ 0.50 – £ 0.75 per metre | Provides a perfectly finished grass edge. |
