Hi
I need a gardener to sort out our box standard back and front garden with its surrounding trees this year on a fortnightly/regular basis. Could anyone advice on what the average per hour/per visit charges are for the same? Also can anyone recommend a reliable gardener who will do the job well and at reasonable charges in S11?

Track down Jimmy who works at The Byron, he's started working for himself as a gardener in Ecclesally Nether Edgey Bents Greeny type areas lately.

Hi, check your pm's

I Live in Totley, had an older bloke do my hedges couple of years ago. Lost contact with him now, see if I can get you his details. He used to charge around 7 quid an hour if I remember correctly.

Be wary, if it's uphill they will charge more.

I think my aunt pays about £7-£8 for a gardener once per fortnight. He mows the lawns, trims edges and hedges, weeds and plants for her and usually spends about 90 minutes on her garden.

He brings his own tools and takes away the rubbish too.

Not a bad price considering. I will ask Aunty for his name and maybe pm you with it .:)

Hi. Can anyone pass on any details to me too. I am also in a similar situation. My hedges are really tall, and I don't know how to garden well. Bought a trimmer, but it doesn't work any more, cos the branches have grown too thick. I'm too short to reach a certain height, and I don't have the equipment to continuously maintain it.

Any details of hedge trimming, or gardening maintenance would be appreciated. I'm in S2.

Yes that sounds pretty cheap. My gardener charges about £11 an hour (it may be £12) but he gets the job done very efficiently in 2 hours a weeknand leaves me to do the nice jobs :P

Hi, i have a small Gardening company and we charge a very reasonable 10 pounds per worker per hour, we also offer total quotes for jobs. We are are honest, hard working, punctual and have the equipment and transportation. If you would like a free no obligation quote please email me at: meadowbankgardening@yahoo.co.uk

I would think taking away the rubbish would be worth that alone.

I had a gardener for my garden cos it was way way overgrown and two of them came..cant remember who it was though...and they did me just the back garden...cutting the grass only...which isnt that big...got me the weeds off the path and cut the grass down the side of my house which was only about 3ft wide and probably 15ft long...they were here about 1hour and charged me £40...i didnt have them back......

Jim.

I can`t get this out of my head.

it cost me 20 quid to have my grass cut...front back and side...corner semi det

yes I paid a similar price, bit of weeding included.

I've just had Norton garden Services around to clear my very 'mature' garden and I'm very happy with what they've done and how tidy they've left eveything. I plan to use them for regular maintenance from now on.

In my experience AVOID anyone who describe themselves as a Landscape Gardener for this kind of thing, they charge the earth for basic gardening, sorry to generlise for you Landscapers buts it is just my experience which I feel I should post about

£8 for 90 minutes work = £5.86 per hour

Whats minimum wage these days?

Wouldn't happen to work for them would you, seeing as you list yourself as a gardener and most of your posts are telling us how marvellous they are?

Ifanyone would like his number PM me or search billandben

Does it matter if he does work for them. Nowt wrong with advertising yourself/job etc.

Most certainly do!
Nothing wrong with a bit of self advertising my dear Irene x

Apart from the fact I believe it might be against forum rules. And to "advertise" by deception, by pretending to be a customer of your own business would suggest a lack of integrity. Would certainly put me off using your business.

I'd say it shows a bit of initiative :D
