How pricing works
I charge an hourly rate with a minimum visit length, plus green waste disposal and any plants or materials at cost. You’ll always get an estimate in writing before I start, and I’ll tell you if a job is better done by someone else — an arborist for big trees, for instance.
Rates and current availability are on the contact page.
Not sure what your garden needs?
Send a couple of photos and roughly what's bothering you. I'll tell you honestly what I'd do first.
