Super Gardener: Transparent Pricing & Quotes for Your Local Garden
Welcome to Super Gardener's clear pricing page. We explain how our gardening company prices (area) and man and van cost (area) are calculated so you can compare value with confidence. Our aim is a simple, understandable cost structure that fits the variety of properties in your neighbourhood — from compact terraced gardens to larger semi-detached plots and busy city-front courtyards.We operate a transparent pricing model that separates labour, waste removal and travel so there's no surprise on the day. Every quote shows what you pay for: time on site, crew size, and the volume of green waste or bulk items removed. The way we present prices is designed for easy comparison with other local gardening prices and man and van pricing options in the area.
Our pricing options include both load-based and cubic-yard rates depending on the job. For small tidy-ups we often charge either a flat-rate tidy or a time-plus-van-fee; for larger clearances we switch to volume-based charging so cost reflects how much material we remove. Typical categories we use include:
- Small tidy or maintenance — hourly or half-day rates
- Medium clearances — priced by cubic yards or by full van loads
- Large clearances and landscaping waste — bulk cubic-yard pricing
How we calculate gardening company prices in your area
We factor in your location (central or suburban), access (driveway, narrow alley, or street park), and property style — for example, a Victorian terraced front garden with narrow access often requires more manual handling than a suburban back garden with driveway access, which affects man and van cost in the area.Below are sample job profiles to help you estimate costs. These examples use typical cubic-yard and load-based measures to align with common local gardening prices and removals:

Example jobs and estimated pricing
- Front garden tidy (terraced house): 1–2 hours, 0.25–0.5 cubic yards. Typical pricing: small tidy flat rate or £X–£Y per hour plus a modest man-and-van fee.
- Back garden clearance (semi-detached): 3–5 hours, 1–2 cubic yards. Pricing often shown as a per-cubic-yard rate or one full van load.
- Large garden clear-out (suburban/estate): 6+ hours, 3–6+ cubic yards. Best priced by cubic yard or multiple van loads with a clear bulk discount.
These are examples and exact quotes vary by access, parking restrictions and the presence of heavy green waste or timber.
Man & van cost considerations vary. If your job is in a busy town centre or high-traffic shopping parade, parking permits or short-stay restrictions can add time and cost. For quiet suburban streets or properties with driveways we can load efficiently which reduces the man and van charge. We always show these items separately on the quote.
Load-based vs cubic-yard rates — what's the difference? Load-based pricing charges per vehicle load (eg. full, half or multiple loads). Cubic-yard pricing measures the volume of waste and is ideal for irregular loads. For instance, a single small van might accept about 1–1.5 cubic yards; a big skip or large tip load may be 4–6 cubic yards. That makes cubic-yard pricing fairer for mixed material jobs.
Free quotes are central to our approach: we provide either a no-cost on-site estimate or a quick digital quote by photo and video. If you prefer an on-site assessment, we will bring measured estimates and a clear breakdown so you can see labour, van time and waste removal costs in writing.
When comparing local gardening company prices and man and van services, look for these inclusions: green waste disposal, permit handling where needed, and a written scope of works. At Super Gardener we include standard disposal fees and safe disposal of green waste unless otherwise stated; any specialist disposal (soil, hazardous materials) is shown as a separate line on the quote.
We also offer discounts for repeat maintenance visits: regular lawn care or hedge trimming contracts reduce per-visit prices. Large blocks of flats with communal gardens or small commercial premises often qualify for a volume or contract discount because work is scheduled and crews are assigned for efficiency.
Here are typical factors that move a quote up or down:
- Access & egress (narrow streets increase labour)
- Material type (light green waste vs heavy timber)
- Number of van loads or cubic yards
- Parking permits and time-on-site in busy areas
What to expect in your free quote — a clear line-by-line price showing labour, van/travel, and waste volume. You will see exactly how the cubic-yard or load-based rates have been applied. Quotes are valid for a defined period and we never alter the price once work begins, unless the scope changes and you approve the change.
We also provide flexible booking: choose an estimated arrival window, and the crew will confirm on the morning of the job. For larger clearances we outline the estimated number of van loads or cubic yards and offer a capped price option if you prefer a maximum cost guarantee.
Summary: Super Gardener’s approach to local gardening prices, man-and-van costs, and cubic-yard billing is built on clarity and fairness. Requesting a free quote gives you a written, itemised price tailored to your property type and local conditions, whether you live in a compact urban terrace, a busy town-centre flat, or a spacious suburban garden. Our pricing makes it simple to compare options and choose the right level of service without hidden charges.
