CB24 NORTH CAMBRIDGE
Gardener in Milton
ELawnCare covers Milton, the quiet village sitting between Cambridge and the A14. Spacious plots with a rural outlook are the norm here, and many gardens back onto open fields or have views toward Milton Country Park. The soil tends to be well-drained and the grass grows steadily through the season without the dampness that slows things further south.
All work is carried out by the owner. No subcontractors and no changing faces. Milton is well within the 8-mile radius, so there is no callout charge for any CB24 address in the village.

What Milton gardens typically need
Spacious rear lawns are common in Milton and suit fortnightly mowing at £20 per 100m² through the growing season. Larger plots push past the £40 minimum quickly, but the rate per 100m² stays the same regardless of size.
Boundary hedges and mature shrubs need two or three cuts a year at £4 per metre up to 2m, or £8 per metre for anything taller. Cuttings are cleared and removed, not left in a pile by the fence.
Clearances and seasonal resets
Gardens near the Country Park accumulate leaf litter and windfall branches through autumn. A half-day clearance at £250 or a full day at £375 clears the backlog, and monthly visits through winter prevent it building up again. Weeding gravel paths and drives at £28 an hour keeps frontages presentable year round.
