Garden maintenance costs in the UK vary widely depending on the size of your garden, the type of work needed, and whether you hire a general gardener or a specialist landscaper. In Warwickshire, most general gardeners charge between £20 and £35 per hour.
Lawn mowing is the most common gardening task. A small garden (up to 50 square metres) typically costs £20 to £30 per mow. Medium gardens (50 to 150 square metres) cost £30 to £50, and large gardens (over 150 square metres) can cost £50 to £80 per visit.
Hedge trimming usually costs £5 to £15 per metre depending on the height and thickness of the hedge. A standard 10-metre hedge at around 6 feet tall typically costs £80 to £120 to trim. Overgrown hedges that need heavy cutting back will cost more.
Garden clearances are charged by the volume of waste and the time involved. A typical garden clearance in Warwickshire costs £200 to £500 depending on how overgrown the garden is. Skip hire adds £150 to £250 on top.
Full landscaping projects start at £1,000 for a small patio or lawn reshaping and can run to £5,000 or more for complete garden redesigns including decking, fencing, planting, and hard landscaping.
If you need regular garden maintenance, booking a weekly or fortnightly slot is usually 15 to 30 percent cheaper per visit than one-off jobs. A weekly mow and tidy for a medium garden costs around £25 to £35 per visit on a regular contract.
