How Much Does a Gardener Charge in Cambridge?
Gardener rates in Cambridge vary widely because most services quote on sight rather than publishing prices. ELawnCare publishes every rate upfront. Mowing is £20 per 100m² with a £40 minimum visit. Hedge trimming is £4 per metre for hedges up to 2m and £8 per metre above that. Hand weeding is £28 per hour. Garden clearance is £250 for a half day and £375 for a full day.
Monthly maintenance plans carry a 10% discount on recurring work. There is no callout charge within 8 miles, which covers most of the CB1 to CB25 area. Beyond that, a £25 flat travel charge or 50p per mile applies.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
ELawnCare prices most work by area or metre rather than by the hour. Hand weeding is the exception at £28 per hour with a one hour minimum. This approach means the price does not depend on how fast or slow someone works, which is fairer for the customer.
The minimum visit charge at ELawnCare is £40. This covers a small garden mow including strimming and cleanup. For gardens under 100m², the minimum still applies. Monthly plans take 10% off, bringing the effective minimum to £36 per visit.
No callout charge within 8 miles, which covers Cambridge and most surrounding villages in the CB1 to CB25 area. Beyond 8 miles there is a £25 flat travel charge or 50p per mile, whichever you prefer. The charge is agreed before booking.
ELawnCare applies a 50% surcharge on the first cut of an overgrown garden. This covers the extra time, wear on equipment, and waste disposal. After the initial visit, all future work is charged at the standard published rate with no premium.
