CB22 SOUTH CAMBRIDGE
Gardener in Sawston
ELawnCare covers Sawston on a regular route, roughly 6 miles south of Cambridge city centre. The village has a solid mix of period cottages along the High Street, post-war semis and newer estates off Babraham Road, most with good-sized gardens that need consistent upkeep.
Established hedges and mature trees are common across Sawston plots, so boundary trimming and seasonal clearance work feature heavily alongside routine mowing. All visits are carried out by the owner personally, with no subcontractors and no rotating crews.

Typical Sawston garden work
Most regular visits are a mow at £20 per 100m², edges strimmed, and any weeds pulled from paths or gravel. Hedges along boundaries want two or three cuts a year. Privet, laurel and beech are all common in Sawston and each grows at a different pace, so the schedule adjusts to the plant rather than the calendar.
Older gardens with mature trees often accumulate leaf litter and deadwood through autumn and winter. A half-day clearance at £250 resets the garden for spring, and fortnightly visits afterwards stop it falling behind again.
Travel and callout
Sawston sits right on the 8-mile radius from central Cambridge. Most CB22 addresses in the village fall within the free callout zone. If an address tips just beyond the boundary, a flat £25 travel charge applies rather than anything unpredictable.
