All services are charged hourly, with clear pricing and no rounding up.
£27.50 per hour (new clients from 1 March 2026)
Our core service — steady, long-term care designed to keep gardens healthy, tidy, and resilient.
Lawn care, border maintenance, pruning, hedge and shrub care, planting, mulching, soil improvement, and wildlife-aware methods.
Charged to the exact time worked, with no rounding up.
Garden Clearances & Seasonal Cutbacks
£32.50 per hour per gardener
For overgrown, neglected, or physically demanding work, including reductions, bed reclamation, restructuring, invasive growth removal, pre-tenancy resets, and storm aftermath.
Charged hourly to allow careful decisions as the garden opens up — without rushing or cutting corners.

Light Maintenance & Outdoor Repairs
Handled by our Project Utility Butlers, covering small, practical, garden-adjacent tasks such as minor fence or gate repairs, shed care, furniture assembly, and basic outdoor fixes.
Charged hourly.
Materials charged separately if required.
Green Waste Collection (Optional)
Earthly Comforts is a registered Lower Tier Waste Carrier. We are not a waste company, but we offer green waste removal as optional support during your gardening visit.
Pricing from 2026:
* £5 — up to 4 × 125L bags
* £10 — up to 8 × 125L bags
* £1.25 per additional bag
We only charge for waste actually removed.
If no waste is collected, there is no charge.
** Please note, principally we remove Green Waste from our clients gardens at their request and agreeance. On occasion we can remove Brown Waste [Small amounts of soil] and Grey Waste [Non-Green items]. We can perform these removals; however, from January 1st 2026, there will be an additional charge of £10 placed onto the client’s waste.***
The Soil Builders Hub (Future-facing)
Launching from 2026
A developing, client-focused initiative designed to keep organic matter local and return nutrients to Sandwich gardens.
Garden waste is processed into compost, mulch, leaf mould, bark chips, and living soil resources.
Nothing is sold commercially. Materials stay local. Soil health is prioritised.
Why We Charge Hourly
Gardens are living systems, not static jobs.
Hidden roots, compacted soil, weather conditions, self-seeded growth, and past maintenance all affect how long work genuinely takes.
Fixed prices rely on estimates and buffers. Hourly pricing removes them.
It means lighter work costs less, heavier work is handled properly, nothing is rushed to protect a quote, and you only pay for time actually worked.
This is the fairest way to care for gardens — and the most honest way to run a service built on trust.
