Has anybody on here used any of the gardening firms in Sheffield?

I'm wondering how much they charge per hour for general gardening jobs?

Mine charges £7 per hour. I think she's fairly cheap as I've heard of several who charge more.

I have a guy who cuts my grass and tidys my garden if I don't get around to doing it. He charges me £5 a visit for grass, but it's a small lawn. If he spends an hour weeding it's £25 but I have done it myself for the last couple of years, as it is not too bad now.

That's like asking 'how long is a ball of string'? If you use a landscape gardening service you're going to be paying a lot, mostly for the privelege of having one of their vans with it's name parked outside your house. I've discovered the best way to get a gardener is to look in the free ad's or in the gazette and find some retired old guy who just wants a bit of money on the side.
A lot of these old guys don't charge by the hour they'll just say so much for a job.

They 'rake' it in. :hihi:

Gardeners who charge low rates are generally uninsured, and gardeners who charge high rates are taking the mick, you should look at around £8 to £12 p/h people who charge less than this dont always come and people who charge more come and take the mick.

My gardener charges £12/hour, he comes fully insured and has all the necessary documents from HMRC for a self employed person, so I know that he isn't just some fly by night out to make a quick quid at the taxpayers expense. He works really hard while he's here, wastes no time, and even has a cup of tea on the move rather than stop as he says he doesn't get paid to drink tea.

Burton Steet project used to look after elderley or infirm peoples gardens for whatever the person offered. They now have to charge a reasonable fee to cover costs.
The work is carried out by dedicated people with learning difficulties.
