Transparent Pricing Model: What you pay and why

Our aim is to give straightforward, predictable rates for routine garden work and one-off clearances. We combine a few standard approaches so customers in Barnet can pick what suits their situation best:

Area-based pricing – commonly used for routine lawn cuts, quoted per square metre for quick recurring visits.
Time-and-man pricing – charged per operative per hour for detailed maintenance and specialist tasks.
Load-based or cubic-yard rates – applied to green waste and clearance jobs where removal volume matters.

Load-based and Cubic-yard Rates (green waste and clearances)

For clearances and removals in Barnet we frequently use a cubic-yard or load-based system, especially when a man and van is required. This avoids surprises: instead of estimating by time alone, we price the actual volume of cuttings, soil and debris removed. Typical considerations include access restrictions (alleyways behind terraced houses), parking limits on busy High Street sections, and whether lifts or narrow staircases are involved for flats with communal gardens.

How load-based pricing works

Examples of what affects load-based rates:

Small van load (approx. 1–2 cubic yards): suitable for small garden tidy-ups and trims at terraced houses.
Medium load (approx. 3–5 cubic yards): typical for semi-detached gardens after a season of growth.
Large skip or multiple-load jobs (6+ cubic yards): for overgrown plots, commercial clearances or communal areas near busy roads and stations.

Example Jobs and Typical Quotes

Below are representative job types we commonly price for local lawn care, lawn mowing in Barnet, and garden clearances. These examples are for guidance: every property is unique, and we offer a free quote to confirm exact costs.

Quick examples by property type

Typical examples and indicative price ranges (final quotes will vary by access, pitch, slope and debris):

Small terraced front garden (approx. 15–30 sqm): routine lawn mow and edge service — indicative from £25–£45 per visit for recurring services.
Medium semi-detached rear garden (approx. 50–120 sqm): full cut, tidy, and clippings removal — indicative one-off or first visit price £60–£150 depending on waste removed (load-based).
Large suburban garden or deep rear plot (150+ sqm): multi-stage work, possible multiple loads — indicative from £180 plus man and van charges for green-waste removal.

Frequency, Subscriptions and Man & Van Costs

Frequency matters. Regular Barnet lawn care plans (weekly or fortnightly) often reduce time per visit and therefore the per-visit price. One-off jobs and seasonal clearances are usually priced higher due to initial overgrowth. Where a man and van service is required—for example to remove a medium or large green waste load—we quote the vehicle time and the labour separately so you see the breakdown:

Factors that determine man and van cost in the area:

Vehicle size and number of trips to disposal/recycling points
Loading time and number of operatives
Access complications such as alleyways or permit-only parking

Example: a medium semi requiring one medium load might show: labour £80 (2 men, 2 hours), van and disposal £65 (single medium load) = total £145. All shown clearly in the quote.
