How a professional team prices a garden clean-up

💰 Clean-up quotes vary more than mowing quotes because the scope varies more. Here's what a proper team is actually pricing for when they give you a number.

📐

Size

The obvious one. We measure both the lawn area and the bed area, because beds take longer per square metre than lawn.

⛰️

Gradient

Steep blocks slow everything down. Mowers don't move the same way, edging takes twice as long, and getting waste off-site means walking it to the trailer.

🚪

Access

Wide side gates and a flat run to the kerb? Fast. Tight access, stairs, locked gates with no key on the day? Slower, and that's reflected in the quote.

🚛

Green-waste volume

A long-overdue clean-up generates several trailer loads. Tip fees and disposal time are part of what you're paying for - the bigger the backlog, the higher the volume charge.

📆 Time of year

Spring and pre-summer are peak. A booking in late winter is often cheaper because we have more capacity and the work is easier (slower growth).

A fixed number, walked and quoted on-site - no surprises.

✅ Free quotes, always - even for big jobs. We come past, walk the block, and give you a fixed number. No "per hour" surprises on the day.

Ready for a lawn that always looks tidy?

Same-week bookings on most jobs. Quotes are free, on-site visits are free, and we'll match the schedule to your lawn - not the other way around.
