Default Cost of garden maintenance

Hi all
Do to a back injury I am now unable to do my own garden
Could someone here advise on the going hourly rate that a gardener
would charge for regular maintenance work - grass cutting / weeding
borders / pruning etc. in the Luton area.
Thanks for any help

You will be very lucky to get any one decent for less than £10 per hour
