How much should you expect to pay a gardener for regular or one-off garden maintenance?
|
Apart from getting an old git my back no longer tolerates gardening ! so I need to get someone in. A guide to how much on average this will cost would be appreciated.
No one likes a Grass.
Cheers.

It all depends on the size of you garden and the type of work you want done.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of any more assistance.

Surely it would be an hourly or daily rate not the size of the garden.

They'll only take payment in euro's or zlotys now Ted.
Ask HP he can send you some cv's over.

Brenty, propositioning a pensioner on a football forum is a new low, even for you.

Had this conversation just this very morning with a bird at work who has received a quote for 2 days work.
£675
She needs an old tree stump removed, the pointing done on her patio and general other stuff on a patch of ground that is around 6 metres long and 2 metres wide.
Main expense seemed to be the pointing. I'm a useless cunt in the garden, but that's the cement falling to shit between the paving right? Didn't want to ask her and look a knob, as she's immense.

Not sure what type of paving she's got, but I think you just brush kiln-dried sand in after you've raked the joints out.

Ted ring your local estate agent who rent out, they often have gardeners working for them, see what they charge per hour, they will obviously be higher than most, but will give you a benchmark to work on.

Removing a tree stump requires a stump grinder so hardly Garden Maintenance!
Typical rate for regular garden maintenance is between £15 - 18 hour for grass cutting, weeding, edging, digging over, hedge trimming, planting etc.
