How our pricing works — gardening company prices in Herne Hill
- Hourly: common for routine maintenance. Example: £40–£55 per gardener per hour depending on team size and time of day.
- Fixed quotes: used for landscaping, planting schemes or multi-day projects — quoted after a site visit.
- Load-based / cubic-yard rates: ideal for clearances and waste disposal. Quoted per load or per cubic yard.
- Man & van: trip or load charges to transport waste to disposal sites; charged separately or included in a clearance quote.
Load-based pricing is practical in an inner-London area like Herne Hill where parking, access and disposal options affect cost. For example, a single 3-cubic-yard load (a typical small garden clearance) often costs £40–£70 per cubic yard including uplift and disposal, or a per-load fee of £120–£220 depending on traffic and parking restrictions on busy Herne Hill Road or near Brockwell Park entrances.
We publish clear sample ranges so you know what to expect. For recurring maintenance we might quote £45/hr per gardener; for a one-off clearance of an overgrown back garden in a Victorian terrace, you could expect a full-day clearance charged as a mix of labour + 3–5 cubic yards of waste at the cubic-yard rate plus a man-and-van uplift.
Example jobs and realistic cost breakdowns
Here are common examples tied to property types around Herne Hill and nearby hotspots (Brockwell Park, Herne Hill Road, Dulwich Road areas) so you can compare against local market averages:
1) Small front garden tidy — Victorian terrace: Typical of terraces off Herne Hill Road. Work: weed, prune, edge and bag debris. Time: 1–2 hours for one gardener. Estimate: £60–£120 (hourly) with waste included if under one small load.
2) Overgrown back garden clearance — period townhouse: Full clearance, cut back, remove shrubs, uplift turf. Time: 6–8 hrs with 2 gardeners + 3–4 cubic yards of waste. Estimate: £300–£500 depending on cubic-yard disposal rate and any man-and-van charges if access is restricted.
3) Communal garden maintenance — flats or mansion block: Common for blocks near Herne Hill station. Routine visits: two gardeners for 2–3 hours each visit. Monthly cost example: £150–£300 per visit depending on frequency and scope. Larger communal hedge or tree works are fixed-quote jobs.
4) Landscaping or re-design: For larger projects — decking, paving, raised beds — we provide free surveys and a fixed-price proposal that separates labour, materials and waste removal so you can see the full breakdown.
Man and van cost details: Expect typical man-and-van runs in Herne Hill to range from £60 to £120 per short trip for waste or bulky green-matter when charged as a separate service. For larger clearances this is often folded into a per-load disposal charge; for small jobs a single man-and-van fee is clearer and easier for budgeting.
To give a concrete, itemised example for a medium clearance: labour 2 gardeners x 8 hours @ £45/hr = £720; disposal 4 cubic yards @ £45/cubic yard = £180; man-and-van logistical uplift = £75; total estimate ≈ £975. That shows how load-based cubic-yard pricing and man-and-van costs interact with hourly labour to form a single, transparent price.
Free quote policy: We offer a no-obligation quote either by a short online checklist plus photos or by an on-site visit when the job is complex. On-site quotes are free across Herne Hill and we will always explain whether a project is best priced hourly, as a fixed quote, or by load/cubic-yard so you know the reason for each line on your estimate.
What the free quote includes: a clear scope of work, an itemised breakdown (labour, materials, cubic yards of waste, man-and-van or uplift fees), timing and any required permits or parking considerations for Herne Hill’s busy streets. We never hide disposal charges: they are shown as part of the «waste & uplift» line.
Transparent receipts and final invoice: After completion you receive a simple invoice showing hours worked, materials used, number of loads and any man and van trips. If we quoted a fixed price we will confirm any variations before proceeding. That means you can compare gardening prices in Herne Hill and see value at a glance.
If you are comparing local options — garden maintenance Herne Hill, garden waste removal Herne Hill or hiring a man and van Herne Hill — use the examples above to estimate. Remember: small front gardens and flats typically cost less because access is quick; larger townhouses and commercial clearances usually require load-based pricing and higher man-and-van fees due to waste volumes and parking constraints.
