Gardeners Catford — Clear Pricing & Quotes for Local Garden Work

At Gardeners Catford we believe in a transparent pricing model that helps homeowners and landlords understand the true cost of garden work without hidden fees. Whether you are looking for a reliable gardening company in Catford for regular garden maintenance or need a one-off clearance with a man and van, our page explains how we price jobs across the area and what you should expect from quotes.

Our approach combines simple per-hour labour estimates with load-based and cubic-yard rates for waste removal and mulch deliveries, so you only pay for what you actually need. This is useful in busy residential pockets like the terraced streets off Catford Broadway or the semi-detached suburbs toward Bellingham, where access and parking can affect time and vehicle costs.

How Our Pricing Works — Transparent and Predictable

We use a three-part pricing breakdown: labour, material/plant costs, and disposal or transport. Labour is presented as a flat hourly or half-day rate depending on the job scale. For removal and delivery, we provide load-based charges (small, medium, large loads) and cubic-yard rates for precise volume-based jobs. This method keeps our garden maintenance Catford prices fair and predictable.

Common examples of loads we quote by volume include green waste (branches, turf, hedge trimmings), soil or compost deliveries, and rubble from hard landscaping. For instance, a single small load might be quoted as 0.5 cubic yards, while a typical small garden clearance might be 1–2 cubic yards. We always explain the unit measures in your quote so there’s no confusion.

Sample Rate Table (Typical)

To give a local idea — and note these are example figures used for illustration in a free quote — our typical framework is:

• Labour: from £40–£60 per hour for two gardeners (depending on access and complexity)
• Man and van cost Catford: from £65 for a half-day van + two operatives, higher during peak times
• Load rates: small load (0.5 yd3) £45–£60, medium load (1 yd3) £80–£100, large load (2+ yd3) priced individually
• Cubic-yard pricing: soil/compost from £25–£40 per yd3 delivered, depending on grade

We emphasise that this structure is flexible: if you prefer an hourly-only quote or a fixed-price job, we provide both options so you get the best value for your property type — terrace, flat with communal garden, or spacious suburban plot.

Example Jobs & Typical Costs in Catford Areas

Example 1 — Small front garden tidy for a terraced house near Catford Centre: a one-off tidy, hedge trim and green waste removal typically takes 2–3 hours with a small load removal. Typical quote: £120–£180 including load and labour.

Example 2 — Medium clearance for a semi-detached property in Bellingham with overgrown lawn and turf removal: this is usually 4–6 hours plus a medium load (around 1 yd3). Typical quote: £280–£420 depending on access and stones or roots to remove.

Man & Van Pricing — When You Need Transport

For bigger clearances, deliveries of soil, or transporting bulky planters and garden furniture, our man and van cost area pricing is expressly separate from gardening time. This helps customers in more congested spots like Catford Station environs where parking restrictions can add time. Typical man & van arrangements:

Standard half-day van (2 persons) — from £65–£95; Full day — from £120–£180; additional mileage or waiting time may apply for longer trips out of core Catford boundaries.

Why We Use Load-Based and Cubic-Yard Rates

Load-based and cubic-yard rates give clear expectations for disposal and materials. For example, replacing topsoil on a small townhouse front might require 0.5–1 yd3 — priced per cubic yard. A communal garden tidy for a block of flats may involve several small loads but predictable per-load fees instead of guessing total weight.

These measures reduce surprises on invoice day. We always estimate volumes during an on-site visit and include the range in your quote. If the job ends up smaller or larger, we revise with your approval — part of our commitment to a transparent pricing model.

Free Quotes & No-Obligation Estimates

We offer a free quote policy for all jobs within our Catford service area. That means a site visit and written estimate at no charge. The free quote will show the labour breakdown, the load or cubic-yard estimate, and the man and van cost if transport is required. We provide both a recommended option and alternatives (for example, full clearance vs staged removal) so you can choose what suits your budget.

How it typically works: request a quote, we assess access and volumes, and we send a clear written estimate within 48 hours. No pressure, no obligation — you decide the start date, and we schedule around your needs.

What’s Included & What Affects Price

Included: skilled gardeners, basic materials such as rotavation or compost where noted, disposal of green waste to licensed sites, and the man and van where quoted. Excluded: specialist tree surgery (quoted separately), hard landscaping materials beyond estimates, and council permit fees for certain street loading bays.

Price influences: property type (flat, terraced, semi), access and parking, quantity/volume of waste (measured in loads or cubic yards), and seasonal demand. We always highlight these in advance so your quote matches the reality of the job.
