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"


I'd certainly endorse this suggestion. And try talking to neighbours, the
person who looks after the local churchyard, places like old peoples' homes
and any local gardening clubs.
