Estimate Your Garden Maintenance Costs

Create a straightforward annual garden maintenance budget based on the rates and visit frequency you provide. Local prices are not assumed.

01 / Input your assumptions

What tasks would a typical visit cover?

Specify a gardener’s hourly rate, the estimated hours needed for each visit, and how often you anticipate the services. Optionally include an amount for green waste or materials.

Use a rate you’ve been quoted or wish to gauge.
For instance, an allowance for disposal or materials.

What this estimate covers

The calculation takes your hourly rate, multiplies it by the hours entered, adds any optional per-visit amount, and then applies your annual visit count. It does not determine or suggest a market rate and cannot account for every garden, task, access concern, or seasonal variation.

For a useful comparison, ask service providers to clarify what each visit entails, how green waste is managed, and whether the schedule varies throughout the year.
