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

The one around here charged £15 per hour min £45 two years ago and he
wasn't
a trained gardener just an odd job man.

That's about the same here now, too. Our chap brings his own machinery,
too. But he doesn't garden, as such - he cuts the lawns, does the hedges
in
autumn, things like that.

This guy did painting and decorating as well as tidying up gardens but
couldn't prune my neighbours apple trees etc.
He now concentrates on the painting and decorating side and there is another
"gardener" about now and he appears more professional, unfortunately I have
no idea how much he charges.
