Frequently-asked questions:
Q: "Do you do small jobs?"
A: Yes, and big jobs too.
Q: "Do you take the grass clippings away?"
A: We will if you want us to. Or, if you want us to put the clippings in your compost heap, we can do that instead.
Q: "How much will it cost me to get my grass cut?"
A: You'll find a guide to our pricing structures on the costs page. If you are eligible for the Council's free service for the elderly / disabled, then you won't have to pay us anything.
Q: "Do you do other garden work?"
A: Yes, we do. However, depending on the location and the job, we'll occasionally put our customers in touch with specialist gardeners who we feel might be able to do the job either cheaper, better or sooner.
Q: "Do you need to use my electricity?"
A: No, our machines have petrol engines.
Q: "How often do you come to cut?"
A: This depends on a number of factors. Most "average" private gardens have about 18 days between cuts.
Q: "Will I need to be in when you come?"
A: If we've never done your garden before then sometimes that can be handy, so that you can show us around the job. However, if we've already had a look and agreed a price with you beforehand, then we'll just roll up and get on with the work. We'll send you a VAT invoice through the post. |
