Our approach as a New Cross gardening company is simple: price fairly, show how we calculate charges, and provide options so customers choose what suits their budget. Whether you need routine maintenance for a Victorian terrace front garden or a full clearance of a flat’s communal courtyard near the high street, we present costs in plain terms: hourly man-and-van rates, per-van-load charges, or per-cubic-yard for bulk green waste.

Gardeners clearing overgrown rear yard in New CrossWe break costs into clear categories: 1) small tidy & weekly maintenance, 2) one-off clearances & waste removal, and 3) landscaping and larger projects that may need a crew or specialist equipment. Below you'll find sample price ranges and examples tied to common property types in the area — for instance, a small back garden behind a New Cross terrace versus a large rear courtyard behind a conversion flat. Our pricing aims to reflect the realities of working in busy streets and narrow access typical in the New Cross area.

Transparent Pricing Model: We publish our principles so you know what influences cost. Our model factors in crew size, time on site, access difficulty, disposal fees, and whether a man-and-van service is required. Key inclusions are listed below:

  • Clear rate types: hourly, per load, or per cubic yard.
  • Access grading: standard, restricted (narrow alleyways or multiple flights of stairs), or difficult (very tight terraces).
  • Disposal & recycling: green waste, timber, soil — charged transparently.

A close-up view of a wooden garden workbench situated outdoors, featuring various gardening tools and supplies. The surface of the bench is made of light-colored wood with a single drawer visible at the front. On top, there are three flower pots; two are terracotta and contain green, leafy plants with delicate foliage, while the third pot appears to be made of metal. A silver watering can with a curved handle and spout is placed among the pots, along with a pair of gardening gloves made of beige fabric with green accents, draped over the edge of the bench. Also present are small hand tools, including a gardening fork and trowel, with wooden and metal parts, resting on the bench. Behind the workbench, a lush, green garden with dense foliage and blurred trees can be seen, indicating a well-maintained outdoor space designed for gardening activities, typical of gardening services in New Cross. The overall scene suggests preparation for planting or garden maintenance, captured in bright daylight with natural sunlight enhancing the vibrant greens and natural textures of the garden environment.Load-based vs Cubic-yard Rates: In most garden clearances we offer two practical options. A load-based quote uses vehicle load sizes (small van, medium Luton, or tip run), priced per load. A cubic-yard approach gives a volumetric rate (for example, £45–£65 per cubic yard depending on material and access). For example, a medium rear garden clearance might be 3–5 cubic yards of green waste (approx. £135–£325), whereas the same job booked as a single van load could be a flat rate — useful when you want predictable costs for a single visit.

Man and Van Cost Area: When you need a removal or a quick tidy, our man-and-van option is popular. Typical rates in the New Cross area reflect local traffic and parking constraints. Expect ranges like:

  • Per-man hourly: roughly £30–£50 per hour per person (varies with time of day and access).
  • Half-day minimum: many jobs require a 3–4 hour minimum, especially if there’s travel and disposal time.
  • Van + driver: add a vehicle fee that depends on size — small van, Luton, or a crew van for bulky loads.

Example: Clearing a small Victorian front garden with two gardeners using a small van for green waste might be a 3-hour job billed at two men x hourly rate plus a single van fee, resulting in a predictable total. For a cramped Georgian conversion with stair access, an access surcharge may apply.

Example Jobs & Typical Prices: To make things practical, here are sample scenarios you’ll find around New Cross and how we price them. These examples are indicative and subject to a free site survey or photos for an accurate quote:

A male gardener with short brown hair and a light beard is working outdoors in a lush garden, wearing a green apron over a short-sleeved checked shirt.

The garden features a well-maintained lawn in the foreground, with a variety of shrubs and bushes surrounding him. In the background, tall trees with thick foliage provide shade, and the scene is illuminated by natural daylight, suggesting a pleasant and sunny day. The overall setting appears to be part of a landscaped outdoor space, likely in New Cross, supporting gardening and outdoor maintenance services. The environment emphasizes healthy, vibrant plant growth with natural green and earthy tones, and the gardener’s attire indicates professional gardening activity.Medium clearance (rear yard behind a conversion in Deptford/New Cross Road): crew of two, 3–5 cubic yards of green waste, Luton van — typical cost £180–£360 depending on recycling splits and access. This suits flats being prepared for re-letting or gardens reclaimed after summer growth.

A young woman wearing a white T-shirt, denim shorts, black knee-high socks, and sunglasses is standing in a well-maintained garden in New Cross, tending to a flower bed. She is holding a blue watering can, pouring water onto the plants, with a gardening rake balanced over her shoulder. The garden features a gravel pathway bordered by wooden raised beds containing a variety of green plants and herbs.

This image reflects typical gardening activities in a landscaped outdoor space, suitable for gardening and landscaping services in the New Cross area, aligning with gardeningnewcross.co.uk's service focus.Large clearance & landscaping prep (back gardens of end-of-terrace houses or communal yards): multi-person team, multiple van loads or measured by cubic yards, often with a per-cubic-yard charge plus labour. Expect quoted estimates usually from £400 upwards for larger projects that include soil removal, hedge reduction, and turf lifting.

Why choose per-cubic-yard? This is best when waste volume is the primary cost driver (soil, compost, turf). We provide visual examples in estimates: a wheelbarrow is around 0.09 cubic yards, a small garden shed contents might be 2–3 cubic yards. Customers appreciate that cubic-yard rates avoid surprises when a job grows in scope.
