CB22 SOUTH CAMBRIDGE
Gardener in Great Shelford
ELawnCare looks after gardens in Great Shelford, one of the most sought-after villages south of Cambridge. Large detached houses with generous plots are the norm here, many with established lawns, deep borders and hedges that have had decades to mature. Standards in the village are high and the gardens reflect it.
Several properties back onto the river or open meadows, which means damper soil, faster growth and a little more attention needed through the season. All work is carried out by the owner personally, so the standard stays consistent visit after visit.

What Great Shelford gardens demand
Larger lawns push past the £40 minimum quickly at £20 per 100m², so Great Shelford visits tend to be priced on measured area rather than the minimum. Strimming and edging at £12 added to a mow keeps the borders and pathways clean.
Flower bed maintenance at £25 per bed or £5 per m² is a regular request here. Seasonal planting, deadheading, mulching and border reshaping keep established gardens looking deliberate rather than neglected. Hand weeding at £28 an hour covers paths, gravel and beds without chemicals.
