Gardeners Hackney — Transparent Pricing & Free Quotes

At Gardeners Hackney we believe clear, understandable pricing is the foundation of trust. Whether you search for gardeners in Hackney, a local gardening company covering the area or need an affordable man-and-van for green waste, our pricing page explains how we charge, why we charge that way, and what you can expect on your invoice. This page is written around the real needs of Hackney properties — from narrow Victorian terraces near Mare Street to communal courtyards in modern flats — and describes both small maintenance jobs and larger clearances.

Our transparent pricing model means you won't find hidden extras. We break down quotes into three core components: labour, disposal (load-based or cubic-yard rates), and any materials or replacements. For many regular maintenance visits we offer flat-rate visits for typical terrace gardens and communal green spaces in busy locations like Dalston or Hackney Central. For one-off clearances and bulky waste removals we price by load or by cubic yard so customers can compare man-and-van cost area estimates easily.

Load-based charging is simple: you pay per van load or by the cubic yard. A standard small van load (suitable for bin bags and light green waste from a front garden or small communal courtyard) is cheaper than multiple wheelie bins taken to the tip. We publish our typical cubic-yard rates for the area so you can see the math: for example, light green waste might be priced at an equivalent of £X–£Y per cubic yard (actual rates shown on each quote) and heavy mixed waste at a slightly higher rate. This is ideal when clearing overgrown back gardens behind terraced houses or offloading tree cuttings from corner plots next to Clissold Park.

How do we decide which method to use? For recurring garden maintenance in small Hackney yards we often use a per-visit flat rate because it keeps budgeting easy. For larger clearances, landscaping prep, and removal of bricks, soil or large shrubs from maisonettes and gardener-access-only courtyards we switch to per-load or cubic-yard pricing. We also provide an option for hourly labour rates when a job is unpredictable — for example, transforming a long-neglected back garden behind council flats where the amount of waste is unknown until work begins.

Example jobs with local context — realistic estimates and common property types:

• Routine maintenance for terraced front gardens: mowing, edging and light pruning — typical per-visit rates suitable for narrow Victorian terraces near Mare Street.
• One-off tidy-up for alley-access yards: hedge trimming and green waste removal — usually one small van load, priced using our man-and-van cost area figures.
• Full clearance for rear gardens of flats: overgrowth removal, tree branch disposal, soil and stone — quoted by cubic yard when multiple loads to landfill are expected.

These examples are guidelines; an accurate price depends on access, amount and type of waste, and whether specialised equipment is needed. When our crew expects more than a single small load we include a detailed load estimate in the quote so you can see how the man and van cost area rates were applied rather than receiving a generic lump sum.

Man-and-van options: If you need a quick removal of garden waste, paving slabs or soft demolition materials, our man-and-van service is priced to reflect labour, vehicle time and disposal. Typical small man-and-van lifts within Hackney are optimised for dense urban streets — narrow roads, parking restrictions and pedestrianised zones all affect turnaround time. We separate travel time and tip-drop fees in the quote so the final invoice matches the estimate. In busy spots like Hackney Central or around Broadway Market, short parking manoeuvres and permits can add small, transparent costs which we always list.

Free quote policy and on-site inspections: we offer no-obligation, free quotes for most jobs. For straightforward clearances you can send photos and we will provide a video or photo-based estimate; for complex or large projects we offer an on-site visit. During the visit our estimator notes access constraints (e.g. alley-only entry behind Victorian rows), measures approximate cubic yards of waste, and explains options: full disposal, recycling where possible, or staged removals for very large gardens. This is particularly helpful for conversions or landscaping projects in new build estates where communal areas and shared responsibility complicate waste decisions.

What’s included in a written quote? Every quote details labour hours, vehicle/load charges, disposal fees per cubic yard (or per van load), and any additional services such as stump grinding or hard surface removal. We use clear language: no jargon, no hidden surcharges. For recurring garden care packages we show the typical monthly or seasonal cost and explain how we adjust visits after the first tidy-up. For one-off jobs we include an estimated number of van loads and a range for final disposal cost so you can budget accurately.
