Gardeners Greenwich — Pricing & Quotes
Welcome to our clear, upfront pricing page for Gardeners Greenwich and related services across the Greenwich area. We believe a transparent pricing model is the foundation of a trusted gardening company. Below you’ll find how we charge, practical examples for typical properties in Greenwich and nearby busy locations, and our free quote policy so you know exactly what to expect before we arrive.
How our transparent pricing works
We use a simple blend of rate types to match every job: fixed man-and-van options for small tasks, hourly man-power rates for maintenance visits, and load-based or cubic-yard rates for clearances and large green waste removals. This mix lets us deliver competitive quotes for terraced front gardens near Greenwich town centre, larger semi-detached lawns in Blackheath, and communal courtyard tidy-ups in apartment blocks by the river.
Why choose load-based or cubic-yard pricing?
Measuring waste by volume is fairer for many clearance jobs. Instead of guessing time, we estimate how much van space your green waste will occupy. For example, a small garden tidy for a narrow Greenwich terrace may be around a 0.25 to 0.5 cubic yard load, while a full garden clearance from a larger suburban plot might be 3–4 cubic yards. Using this method keeps costs linked to actual disposal requirements and helps manage man and van cost in the area.
Man & van cost area - how we price manpower and transport — Our standard approach for one-off jobs combines a per-man hourly rate plus a van fee. The van charge covers fuel, local congestion considerations, and disposal trips in busy Greenwich zones. For recurring garden maintenance we can switch to a per-visit flat rate or a seasonal package. All pricing is shown before VAT or special permits where applicable, and we underline that any third-party charges (e.g., skip permits in high-traffic streets) will be explained in your quote.
Below are the typical price building blocks we use so you can compare:
- Hourly labour: charged per operative, per hour — ideal for pruning, mowing, and planting.
- Man & van: a combined hourly rate for one operative with a van; efficient for small clearances and deliveries.
- Cubic-yard / load rates: used for green waste disposal, measured by estimated van loads or skip-equivalent volume.
- Fixed-price jobs: for common tasks like lawn turfing or hedge installation when scope is clear.
What’s included in our quotes: travel within the Greenwich area, basic disposal of green waste to licensed facilities, and time for site clearing and tidying. We always state if additional services such as stump grinding, chemical treatments, or fencing are excluded and priced separately.

Example jobs and typical costs
To help you estimate, here are representative jobs tied to common property styles and busy locations in Greenwich. These are illustrative examples — final prices depend on exact site conditions and measured load sizes.Example 1 — Small terraced front garden tidy (Greenwich town centre): A one-man tidy with man & van for cutting back low shrubs, mowing a small lawn and taking away clippings. Typical charge: man & van hourly rate for 2–3 hours or a fixed tidy fee. Load often under 0.5 cubic yards.
Example 2 — Victorian townhouse hedge removal by Greenwich Park: A two-person job removing an overgrown hedge, cutting to ground, and disposing of waste. Measured as 1–2 cubic yards depending on root volume; charged as a combination of hourly labour and cubic-yard disposal. Expect a clear breakdown of labour, equipment use and load-based disposal costs.

Example 3 — Large rear garden clearance for a semi-detached in Blackheath
This typically requires a small crew, several hours and multiple van loads. We provide a load-based quote: estimated cubic yards x rate, plus a per-man hourly charge. We’ll state the approximate man and van cost for the area and whether a skip is recommended.Example 4 — Communal courtyard tidy for flat blocks near Deptford and Canary Wharf: For busy apartment complexes we price per-visit maintenance contracts or per-event clearances. Space and access rules in busy streets affect the van fee and disposal logistics — these adjustments are included in the quote so there are no surprises.

Transparent, easy to compare — We emphasise clarity so you can compare gardeners in Greenwich, local landscaping companies, and man and van services without hidden extras. If scope changes on the day (for example, unexpected stump work or asbestos-containing materials), we explain the options and seek your sign-off before proceeding.
Final notes on pricing flexibility — We can tailor payment structures for regular maintenance, seasonal contracts, and one-off clearances. Volume discounts apply when multiple jobs are bundled (for example, front and back gardens for the same Greenwich address).
