The Gardening Service

IN GENERAL

We are able to offer a range of mobile services designed to help around the home. They range from our Handyperson Service for odd jobs and small repairs, a Gardening Service for mowing grass to low maintenance changes, and a Decorating Service for minor paint works or a whole room.

Who is eligible?

All services are available to older or disabled homeowners and private tenants, or those with limited finances. A simple telephone call will tell you if you are eligible to benefit from the service. Referrals can be taken from individuals or through agencies such as Age Concern, Citizens Advice Bureau or Social Services.

Is there a charge?

Yes, these subsidised services are primarily funded by charities with some assistance from the local authority. However, it costs around £120,000 a year to run these services and whilst we are able to subsidise the cost by donations from charitable trusts we still ask for help towards the running cost of the service.

THE GARDENING SERVICE

We offer a wide range of gardening works from keeping your garden tidy to small landscaping projects.

▪ Sweeping and clearing paths

▪ Mowing lawns

▪ Pruning, planting & digging

▪ Planting up pots & hanging baskets

▪ Clearing leaves

▪ Hedge trimming

▪ Weeding

▪ Laying areas to gravel/bark

Waste can be taken away or we can construct a compost store for future use on your garden!

How often will you call?

We recognise that all gardens vary in size and type, depending upon your requirements we can visit on a regular basis or just a tidy for the winter. (Please note demand can be high during the summer months).

How much will it cost me?

As with the Handyperson Service, we charge £14.10 for the first hour's work and £9.40 thereafter plus £3.50 towards the travel costs. We also charge you for any materials used. An invoice will be sent to you after each visit. Prices include VAT.
