How Much Does Garden Maintenance Cost?

A Simple Guide to Understanding Ash & Bloom Pricing

If you’re looking for professional garden maintenance in South Devon, you’ve probably noticed prices can vary. Every garden has its own shape, size, and needs, so costs depend on what it takes to keep it looking its best. At Ash & Bloom, we’re open about how pricing works so you can plan with confidence.

At Ash & Bloom, we believe in being upfront and transparent about how pricing works. This page explains what affects the cost, what you can expect to pay, and how we make sure you always get real value for money not just a number on a page.

Why We Don’t List Fixed Prices

It’s not because we’re trying to hide anything it’s because no two gardens are the same.

A small, tidy lawn might take an hour to maintain.
A large, sloped garden with hedges, trees, and flower beds could take most of the day.

Even simple things like parking, access, or whether we’re taking waste away can change the time and effort involved.

That’s why we don’t use one-size-fits-all prices.
We’d rather come and see your garden (or even just look at a few photos) and give you a proper, fair quote based on what’s really needed.

Typical Garden Maintenance Prices

To help you plan your budget, here’s a general guide to what most of our South Devon customers pay:

• Regular garden maintenance – from around £40–£60 per visit
  For smaller gardens needing mowing, edging, weeding, and light pruning on a routine basis.
• Larger or more complex gardens – typically £80–£150 per visit
  This suits properties with multiple lawns, borders, shrubs, or hedging that need regular upkeep.
• One-off garden tidy-ups or clearances – usually £180–£600+
  Ideal for reclaiming overgrown spaces, preparing for a property sale, or getting your garden back under control.

These ranges are typical, but we’ll always give you an exact quote after seeing your garden — no obligation, no surprises.

What Affects the Price?

A few key factors make a difference to cost:

• Garden size and layout – open lawns are quicker than tiered or narrow gardens
• Condition – regular upkeep is quicker than a full reclaim job
• Frequency of visits – weekly, fortnightly, or occasional
• Access and waste – how easy it is to reach your garden and whether waste removal is required
• Type of work – mowing, pruning, hedge trimming, planting, or full garden tidy-ups

We’ll talk you through all this during your quote so you know exactly what’s included.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why can’t you just give a price over the phone?

Because every garden is unique. The size, access, and condition can all change how long a job takes. A quick visit (or even a few photos) helps us give you a fair and accurate quote.

2. How much do most people spend?

Most customers spend £40–£60 per regular visit for small to medium gardens, or £180–£600+ for larger one-off tidy-ups. We’ll always give you a detailed quote before any work begins.

3. What if I just want a one-off tidy-up?

That’s fine — lots of our clients start that way. We can do a full garden clearance or pre-sale refresh, then discuss an ongoing maintenance plan if you’d like to keep it looking great all year.
