What a maintenance visit covers
A standard visit is a cut, edges strimmed along paths, fences and beds, and cuttings cleared. Beds and borders are hand weeded on request. Hedges are trimmed on their own schedule, usually two or three times a year rather than every visit.
Cuttings disposal is £12 per visit if you have no green bin space. The minimum visit charge is £40.
How often gardens in Cambridge need a visit
Through the growing season, roughly March to October, most lawns want cutting every one to two weeks. Fortnightly suits the majority of Cambridge gardens. Through winter, visits drop to monthly or pause entirely, with a tidy-up before spring.

Quotes are usually turned around the same day through the online form. Start dates depend on the season. Spring is the busiest period, so booking a first cut a week or two ahead is sensible from March onwards.
Overgrown first cuts carry a 50% surcharge because they take longer and are harder on equipment. For genuinely neglected gardens a clean-up is better value: £250 for a half day, £375 for a full day, quoted above that.
