How much to pay for someone to mow my lawn?
 

Hello,

What is the going rate for someone to mow a lawn?

(Front and back, fairly small as it is a new-ish property, on a slope).

Cheers

PS Probably best to say that it is a 4 bed detached house, to give an idea of width, however depth of back lawn is only about 10 foot. Front lawn is tiny!

And approximate location? London or somewhere less expensive?

Less expensive! South West (Swindon)

[rant] Just don't let Whitegates - the property lending people do it!
Before moving to France we rented a property for six months. It had a
tiny lawn about 15 feet by 20 feet. I mowed it before moving out but
Whitegates took £50 out of the deposit to "mow the lawn" two days later.

Around here (North Staffordshire)they charge £12 an hour, so assess how
long it would take. Failing that phone up someone with ads in the local
paper, then ask.

Here in S. Devon it's about £13 per hour, using his own equipment and
having to move lawn furniture, too!

The one that does a neighbours garden charges £15. per hour, min £45. Do
check if there is a minimum charge.

and first class train pass, gift of large petrol engine powered lawnmower,
extremely short working year and immunity from prosecution?

Joking apart, I can remember when I attended an ICL programming course
in Windsor, back in the 70s, we were entitled to 1st Class train travel,
along with the brief cases and umbrellas.

I think the widow up the road pays £15 for two small lawns, and the one
next door gives her S-I-L £20 since I gave up doing it for free.
(I'm 75 fer goodness sake).
The moral is, - get a gardener to do it. :-)

I too attended an ICL programming course in Windsor back in the early
'70's. Plan. 1900 series machines. Before that, I had attended an IBM
course for Autocoder (1400 Series) - also in Windsor. IIRC, I preferred
Autocoder to Plan but then we moved over to Cobol, which was much easier
but not half as much fun. I don't remember having first class travel on
any of the courses but do remember staying in an hotel in Old Windsor.
