CB1 CENTRAL CAMBRIDGE
Gardener in Petersfield
ELawnCare covers Petersfield, the dense neighbourhood of Victorian terraces between Mill Road and East Road in central Cambridge. Gardens here are compact: narrow rear plots, tiny courtyards, paved yards and the occasional pocket lawn where every square metre has to earn its keep.
Small does not mean simple. Tight spaces need careful work with the right tools. Hand mowing, precise strimming, targeted weeding and seasonal bed care are the core of what Petersfield gardens need. The £40 minimum visit covers most plots in the area comfortably.

Making small gardens work harder
A typical Petersfield rear garden is well under 100m², so the £40 minimum visit covers mowing and basic tidying. Strimming and edging at £12 added to a mow cleans up along walls, raised beds and paving edges where a mower cannot reach.
Flower bed care at £25 per bed or £5 per m² makes a visible difference in small spaces. A single well-maintained bed lifts an entire courtyard. Hand weeding at £28 an hour keeps paving joints and gravel patches clean without spraying anything.
Patio and yard jet washing
Shaded courtyards between terraced houses collect moss and algae quickly. Jet washing from £4 per m² with an £80 minimum lifts the grime and re-sands the joints so the surface stays clean for longer. Most Petersfield patios fall near the minimum visit price.
