Garden Maintenance Shadwell — Pricing & Quotes

At Garden Maintenance Shadwell we aim to make our gardening company prices in Shadwell clear, comparable and fair. This page explains our transparent pricing model, how we calculate load-based and cubic-yard rates for green waste, and how our man and van cost area pricing works for removals and larger clearances. Whether you have a narrow Victorian terrace garden or a canal-side courtyard, the approach is the same: honest estimates and no surprises.

We recognise local property types — terraced houses near Shadwell High Street, new apartment gardens, and riverside plots all have different access and waste profiles. Pricing reflects accessibility, the volume of material and time on site. Below you’ll find clear example jobs and sample cost ranges so you can estimate before requesting a free quote.

Transparent Pricing Model

We use a simple, tiered system so customers understand what they pay for: labour, materials (if required), and waste removal. Our model includes both fixed tasks (like lawn cutting or hedge trimming) and variable tasks priced by volume or time. This dual approach gives small regular jobs a predictable fee while larger clearances or one-off tidy-ups are billed fairly.

Common components of a quote include:

• Labour charge: per gardener per hour or per half-day.
• Man and van cost: vehicle and operator for removals and deliveries.
• Volume charges: load-based or cubic-yard rates for green waste and debris.

We always itemise each element and provide alternatives — for example, composting green waste on-site where possible to reduce removal costs, or scheduling clearances at quieter times to reduce traffic-related delays on busy streets.

Load-based / Cubic-yard Rates Explained

For clearances and removals we commonly price by load size or cubic yards. This is the fairest method for items that vary by bulk rather than weight. Typical guidance we use in the Shadwell area:

Sample cubic-yard pricing (indicative):

• Small load (0.25–0.5 cu yd): suited to small terrace cuttings — often under £35–£55 per load.
• Medium load (1–2 cu yd): tidy of rear gardens or communal beds — typically £60–£120 per load.
• Large load (3–6 cu yd): full garden clearances or renovation clear-outs — £150–£350 per load depending on access and disposal type.

These ranges account for disposal costs, landfill or recycling fees, and the labour to load material. We always confirm final cubic-yard estimates during the free site visit or offer a photograph-based provisional quote.

Man and Van Cost Area — How We Calculate It

Our man and van pricing for Shadwell is designed to cover vehicle use, fuel, operator time, and any parking or access charges. Typical models are:

• Hourly rate for short removals (e.g., single bulky items): quoted per hour with a minimum call-out.
• Half-day / full-day rates for larger clearances: an economical option when multiple loads or long transfers are needed.
• Load-based fee combined with a mileage or zone supplement for trips outside central Shadwell.

For example, a small four-hour clearance from a back garden in a terraced street often combines two gardeners plus a man-and-van run: labour for the team plus a flat van fee for transport and disposal.

Example Jobs & Typical Costs

Below are realistic examples tailored to common property styles in the area. These are illustrative figures to help you plan before requesting a tailored estimate.

Example A — Weekly tidy for a narrow Victorian terraced garden: lawn mowing, small hedges, and leaf clearance. Labour: one gardener, 1.5 hours. Price: fixed visit fee (ideal for regular customers). Great for busy households near local shops.

Example B — Medium back-garden clearance (apartment above shop or council block): remove overgrown shrubs, cut back, and clear 1–1.5 cubic yards. Typically two gardeners for 3–4 hours plus man-and-van for one medium load. This reflects access restrictions often found in denser parts of Shadwell.

Example C — Full garden renovation (riverside plot or larger suburban garden): includes multiple cubic yards of vegetation and soil, bench removal, and haulage. Often scheduled as a half-day or full-day job with a quotation that breaks down labour, materials and cubic-yard removal costs.

Each example highlights why we prefer to provide a detailed quotation — access, parking, and the type of waste (green vs mixed) materially affect final cost.

Free Quote Policy

We offer a free, no-obligation quote for every job in the Shadwell area. Quotes can be arranged by a quick site visit or, where appropriate, by photos and a phone consultation. Every free quote will show:

• Breakdown of labour and how many gardeners are recommended.

This transparency helps you compare our offer with other gardening services and understand exactly what you’re paying for.

How to Request a Quote

When you request a free quote, please tell us the property type (terrace, apartment communal garden, riverside plot etc.), an idea of volume to remove (small clippings vs full clearance), and preferred timing. We’ll respond with an itemised estimate, suggested schedule and clear options for reducing costs — for instance, tipping green waste for composting on-site when appropriate.

Our goal is simple: a fair, local pricing structure that reflects the real work involved. If you value clear itemisation, competitive man and van cost area rates and sensible cubic-yard charging, our approach to garden maintenance in Shadwell delivers predictable bills and well-maintained outdoor spaces.
