For most people who want the whole garden kept on top of, yes. Our plans start from £99 a month with 30 days' notice to cancel, and cover fortnightly lawn cuts, edging and the beds. If you only need the lawn cut, or a tidy up once or twice a year, one-off bookings are cheaper.
What our plans include
| Plan | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | From £99 a month | Fortnightly lawn cut and edging, bed maintenance, a site tidy after every visit |
| Premium | From £129 a month | Everything in Essential, plus hedge and shrub maintenance, border weeding and edging, scarification and aeration |
| Estate | Bespoke | Larger properties and grounds, scope agreed at the first visit |
All plans include scheduled visits, seasonal report cards and a single monthly direct debit, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. You also get a short note after each visit saying what we did.
Plan or one-off bookings: the real numbers
Here's how a plan compares with booking things as you need them, using our own prices and real jobs from this year.
| Way of doing it | What it costs | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Essential plan | From £99 a month, which is £1,188 if you stay on all year | Lawn cut and edged every two weeks, beds kept on top of, the same faces every visit |
| Lawn mowing only | From £30 a cut, most lawns £35 | The lawn cut every two weeks, nothing else |
| One-off tidy up | £250 with waste on a real front garden job, about two hours | One visit, the garden sorted, then it grows back |
| Booked day | 1 person £360, 2 people £600, 3 people £840 | 8 hours on site and one van load of green waste |
As a rough guide, if we cut a lawn every two weeks from March to late November, that's about 19 cuts, so around £665 a year at £35 a cut. If all you want is the lawn, mowing on its own is cheaper than a plan. The plan earns its money when you also want the edges, beds and borders looked after, because those are the bits that turn into a tidy up or a clearance if they're left.
The honest pros
- It stops the garden getting out of hand. The garden clearances we did this year cost between £255 and £750, and regular visits are what stop a garden getting to that point.
- You don't have to think about it. We know what needs doing each visit and get on with it, and the work changes with the seasons.
- Same faces every visit, who know your garden and what you like.
- One fixed monthly payment, instead of a big bill every time it gets away from you.
The honest cons
- You pay every month, including the quieter winter months when there's less to do.
- If you only want the lawn cut, a plan is more than you need. Mowing on its own is from £30 a cut.
- If you enjoy gardening and just want a hand once or twice a year, a one-off tidy up or a booked day will cost you less.
- It's not a clearance. If the garden's already overgrown, it needs a garden clearance first, then a plan to keep it that way.
So, is it worth it for you?
If you want the whole garden kept tidy and you'd rather not deal with it, a plan usually makes more sense, and with 30 days' notice to cancel you're not stuck if it doesn't suit. If you only want one job done, or you like doing most of it yourself, book what you need when you need it. Either way, send us a photo and I'll tell you honestly which one makes more sense for your garden.
