How much would you expect to pay a gardener for ordinary grass cutting type
work, in England Southern Counties?
Should you pay for travelling time, or just time working on site?


I pay £10 per hour, in Hampshire. That is for someone who can, and
does, do quite a bit more than just grass cutting, brings his own
equipment, and takes away any rubbish that can't be found a home in
the compost heap.

Normally, you would only pay for working time but, if you are in a
very remote area and can't find anyone local, you may have to pay
extra for travelling time.
