**We don’t cut back trees and will only remove them if they are dead, diseased, or dangerous.

Before you sign up for the service, we will visit your home and assess what is required to bring your garden up to a standard before we begin regular maintenance. There will be a one-off cost for this which on average is in the region of £150 but it very much depends on the current state of the garden.  

The service then costs on average £6 per week but this can differ depending on circumstance. 

There are only two things that we need from customers to enable us to carry out the necessary activities during our visits:

• Please remove any obstacles from the grassed area such as toys, garden furniture.
• Please ensure there is no animal faeces on the grass. We really can’t cut grass if there is any animal faeces present as it poses a significant health and safety risk.
