Typical monthly costs for Cambridge gardens
A small garden under 200m² on a fortnightly mow with quarterly hedge trimming costs roughly £80 to £100 per month through the growing season. A medium garden of 200m² to 400m² runs £120 to £180 per month. Large gardens above 400m² vary too much for a guide figure and need a measured quote.
Winter months are cheaper because visits drop to monthly or pause entirely. Most customers budget for seven or eight active months of maintenance per year.
One-off vs recurring costs
One-off visits are charged at the published rate. Monthly plans take 10% off, which saves meaningful money over a full season. A fortnightly mow at £40 drops to £36 per visit on a plan. Over 14 fortnightly visits that saves £56 per year just on mowing.
Garden clearance and one-off tidy-ups are not discounted because they are single events, not recurring work.
