Garden Butler Care
£25.00 per gardener hour
For regular garden maintenance and ongoing care.
Our standard Garden Butler rate is £25.00 per gardener-hour, reduced from £26.50.
At Earthly Comforts, we believe every client deserves the same level of professional care, attention and commitment, regardless of the size of their garden or how long they have been with us.
We are therefore moving towards a consistent hourly rate across our Garden Butler service. This creates a fairer, simpler and more transparent pricing structure, while helping us maintain the reliable, knowledgeable and personal service our clients expect.
Despite ongoing increases in our operating costs, we have also reduced our standard rate from £26.50 to £25.00, recognising the financial pressures facing many households.
Our £25.00 standard Garden Butler rate will remain unchanged throughout 2027.
We charge for the actual time worked, with no rounding up. This ensures clients pay only for the gardening time provided.
The price may have changed, but our commitment to quality, reliability and personal care remains exactly the same.

| Green Waste Collection |
Green waste removal is available by prior arrangement.
Regular Garden Butler Care
£1.25 per 125-litre bag
We can remove green waste generated during regular Garden Butler visits as required. You only pay for the bags we take away.
Projects & Heavy Cutbacks
£2.00 per 125-litre bag
For larger clearances, restorations or substantial cutbacks where the volume is too great for our normal collection service, we may arrange a specialist green-waste collection. We will discuss any additional collection or disposal costs with you beforehand.
Where practical, we compost, recycle, or reuse green waste.
