Pricing & Quotes — Gardening Hackney
Gardening Hackney is committed to a transparent pricing model that helps homeowners and landlords in Hackney understand exactly what they pay for. Whether you search for gardening company prices Hackney or compare man and van cost area rates, our aim is to make costs predictable: we publish clear approaches — per-hour labour for certain jobs, and load-based or cubic-yard rates for clearances and green waste removal.
We use a combination of simple fixed fees and measurement-based billing. Load-based pricing means you pay by the volume we remove (per load or per cubic yard), while some maintenance services are charged by the hour or by the job. This hybrid system is common among reliable Hackney gardeners and ensures you don’t overpay for small, quick tasks or underpay for heavy clearance work.
Our quotation promise: free quotes for every site visit. A free, no-obligation quote is offered whether you have a tiny terrace patch in Dalston, a communal garden near Clapton, or a south-facing Victorian backyard in Hackney Central. We calculate the likely volume of material (measured in cubic yards or by van loads), outline any parking or access surcharges, and explain disposal fees up front.
Our Pricing Structure
Typical man-and-van rates in the borough are influenced by travel, crew size, and vehicle type. For a standard man-and-van job in Hackney — for example moving garden waste from a narrow terraced garden to the nearest disposal point — expect charges quoted as hourly rates for the crew plus a per-load disposal rate. Our approach reflects the local market: transparent, area-aware, and tailored to the constraints of inner-London gardens.
For clearance and green waste removal we commonly use cubic-yard pricing. This is especially useful for gardeners in Hackney dealing with:
- Small terrace front gardens (0.5–1.0 cubic yards)
- Medium back gardens after seasonal tidy (1–3 cubic yards)
- Large overgrown yards or shared communal spaces (3–6+ cubic yards)
We also outline the difference between per-load and per-cubic-yard rates. A single small van load (suitable for tight streets like Stoke Newington High Street) might be quoted as a set price, while larger clearances are often more economical when priced by cubic yard. The man and van cost area model often bundles labour and vehicle together, while volume-based billing isolates disposal as a separate line item.
Examples & Typical Jobs
Example jobs and local contexts help you visualise cost:
- Terraced garden tidy (Dalston or Hackney Central): light pruning, turf lift and green waste removal — approximate volume 0.5–1 cubic yard. Many terrace front gardens fit into a single small van load; quoted as a single load or a short job at hourly staff rates.
- Victorian backyard refurbishment (Stoke Newington): medium clearance, removal of old soil, composting and disposal — 1.5–3 cubic yards. This often uses cubic-yard pricing and may require an extra crew member for speedier turnaround.
- Communal block clearance (Clapton): shared gardens or estate green areas can be 3–6+ cubic yards depending on access. These jobs are ideal for per-cubic-yard runs and a dedicated skip or multiple van loads.
To give concrete figures (examples only — final quotes follow a free site visit):
- Small terrace tidy: from £80–£120 (single small van load or 1-2 hours of crew time)
- Medium garden clearance: from £150–£300 (1.5–3 cubic yards, labour + disposal)
- Large overgrown garden: £300+ (3+ cubic yards, multiple loads or skip hire)
Our free quote policy means we do not price purely by photos. For precise man and van cost Hackney or volume-based clearances, we offer an on-site measurement — free of charge. After inspection you receive a written quote outlining: labour hours, vehicle/load charges, cubic-yard estimates, contingency for difficult access, and any additional disposal fees. We explain every line so there are no surprises on the day.
Additional charges are always declared up front. Examples include parking permits for long-stay jobs in busy streets, specialist disposal for invasive species, or extra crew if timelines demand faster completion. We do not add hidden fees: if a job requires unexpected work we call you before proceeding and present options.
When comparing gardening prices in Hackney, remember to check whether quotes include VAT, disposal fees, and labour minimums. Our quotes show separate lines for each component. We encourage clients to compare man-and-van rates and cubic-yard pricing side by side to see which model suits their specific property and schedule.
Finally, whether you live near Broadway Market, a council estate, or a newly converted flat with a communal courtyard, our pricing is designed to be fair and understandable. Request a free quote and you will receive a clear, written estimate referencing the exact measurements and pricing model used — load-based, cubic-yard, or time-and-crew — tailored to your Hackney address.
