CB3 WEST CAMBRIDGE
Gardener in Newnham, Cambridge
ELawnCare serves Newnham and the streets between Barton Road, Grantchester Street and the Backs. This is one of Cambridge's most established residential areas, with large Victorian and Edwardian houses sitting on generous plots that have had decades to mature.
Newnham gardens tend to be bigger and more complex than the city average. Mature trees, deep herbaceous borders, tall boundary hedges and long lawns are standard. This is not quick in-and-out maintenance work, and it is priced by area and metre rather than rushed through on time.

Established gardens need consistent attention
Large lawns in Newnham benefit from fortnightly mowing through the growing season at £20 per 100m². Mature hedges along boundaries and between properties often sit above 2m, putting them in the £8 per metre band. Deep borders want seasonal weeding and tidying to stop self-seeders and ground elder taking over.
Flower bed care at £25 per bed or £5 per m² covers planting, edging and seasonal maintenance. For borders that have lost their shape over the years, a targeted replanting plan restores structure without ripping everything out.
