  I've not known them charge less than a couple of hundred for a scarify on even the smallest lawns, let alone anything else needed over a year. And they leave the moss bagged-up for the client to take to the tip.

  Even worse is their hollow-tine aeration service, where they leave the plugs to "break down and condition the soil". Think about it, if the heavy clay is the cause of the compaction, it's possibly not the best thing to smear all over the lawn!

  I did complain to the owner of the franchise. Guess what? "We are not responsible for the individual actions of our franchisees". One of my real pet hates, and they're not even cheap!

  All that may be true, but they have made it popular to have a nice lawn and to a certain extent have educated people on how to do it (You may not agree on how they do it)

  Is it just chemical treatment, or are they scarifying and aerating etc ?

  it will cost £50 and £40 just for the all in one fertilizer plus labor plus expenses plus profit.
  if they are going to scarify it as well triple the above price and i have seen it before they do not lower the blades so as not to have to much to rake up and take away, some even leave the bin liners for the household to take away (cowboys) but folk just go on price saying its been fed and it will be OK

  For those sizes, would assume their charges would be ~ £60 & £70ish respectively (2011-2012 prices in SE)

  That would be for the weed and feed only Gary?

  Just for a basic spring/summer feed.
