Default How much should a gardener cost?

Hi All

I know this is probably a thread that has been asked before and for
this i apologise. I have tried to access the archive but had no luck so
here goes!!!

Can anyone advise me as to how much a good gardener should cost to tidy
a small garden as it is a bit overgrown, and then routinely cut it and
keep it generally tidy, weeding etc.

The garden is about 5m by 10m and is about 2/3 lawn and the rest is a
kind of box hedge about 60cm high and then beds to the other 3 sides.

It is for my mother who lives in the Bradford region (West Yorkshire)
and I want her to get a good professional in who will take everything
away and make a nice job of it.

Any ideas of cost would be really appreciated so i can help her get
somebody good.

The best advice is to get a personal recommendation of a suitable
person from somebody living locally. Cost is immaterial if they
can't in fact do a satisfactory job. And the only way to find out
whether they can or not, is from existing satisfied customers
rather than any claims they may make about themselves, in their
entry in "Yellow Pages"
