We focus on a transparent pricing model so you always know what you're paying for, whether you need a quick tidy outside a terraced house or a full season of maintenance for a semi-detached property.We operate across the borough and nearby neighbourhoods, including Lewisham town centre, Blackheath, Hither Green and residential streets around Deptford.

How our pricing works — simple and honest
Our price structure is designed for clarity: we either quote a time-and-materials price for routine jobs or a load-based rate for work that produces significant green waste. For typical maintenance we provide an itemised quote listing labour, tools and any access equipment. For larger clearances we use cubic-yard or per-load rates so you only pay for the waste we remove, not arbitrary supplements.Transparent pricing model
We believe in a transparent pricing model that spells out the components of every estimate. Quotes include:- labour (per person, per hour)
- transport and man-and-van costs (area-based)
- waste uplift (load- or cubic-yard based)
Our man-and-van cost area pricing recognises that travel time, congestion and parking in busy Lewisham High Street or narrow terraced roads affect job time and fuel. We apply a small area surcharge for extended travel outside our core zone; within Lewisham borough most call-outs sit in the standard band. This keeps quotes realistic and fair for local homeowners and landlords.
Load-based or cubic-yard rates explained: for hedge suiting, heavy trimming or full removals we estimate the volume of arisings in cubic yards and price by load. A standard small-load (roughly 1–2 cubic yards) covers clippings from a typical front garden hedge; larger rear-garden jobs that produce 3–6 cubic yards are priced accordingly. Where waste can be compacted safely we may offer a reduced per-load rate.
Example jobs — cost snapshots you can relate to: below are typical Lewisham scenarios and how our pricing applies. These are guidance examples; free on-site or photographic quotes provide a final figure. Prices reflect both the labour involved and the likely volume of green waste.
Example 1: Terraced front hedge (approx. 15–20 metres, 1.2m high) — common in Victorian terraces off Lewisham High Street. This routine tidy usually takes one operative 1–2 hours, with minimal waste (under 1 cubic yard). Typical charge: a fixed maintenance rate or a small jobman-and-van call-out inclusive of uplift.
Example 2: Semi-detached rear hedges (long rear boundary, mixed species) — common in suburban streets toward Blackheath. These often take two operatives 3–5 hours and produce 2–4 cubic yards of material. We quote either a time-and-labour price or a load-based uplift fee; customers see both figures and can choose the preferred approach.
Example 3: Tall leylandii or overgrown boundary hedges—typical for larger gardens near Hither Green or riverside properties. These jobs can require ladders, a second man and significant waste removal (4–8+ cubic yards). Because of scale and safety needs, we provide a written estimate detailing labour, equipment hire and per-load disposal charges so the final invoice matches the quote.
Man and van cost area — what to expect: our man-and-van pricing covers the crew, transport, fuel and basic tools. For small local jobs within Lewisham this is often the most economical option: a single operative with a van can trim and clear small hedges quickly. For larger clearances we add a second operative or a trailer load price based on the estimated cubic-yard volume. All charges are shown in the estimate.
Factors that affect price include access (narrow streets or parking restrictions), the height and density of the hedge, presence of fences or ornaments, and whether arisings need special disposal. We note any additional safety or permit costs at quote stage rather than adding them later — that is part of our commitment to transparent pricing.
