Some people will read the title of this blog and think HOW can hiring a professional gardener or maintenance person to maintain my garden actually SAVE me this much time?

Here's how:

Lets assume that your average sized garden currently takes you 2.5 hours per week to maintain.

This breaks down to:

An hour to mow and edge the lawn,

An hour to tidy the borders or collect up fallen leaves depending on the season,

Half an hour to carry out other general garden chores.

However, lets not forget:

On top of this, we also have to consider the time that it takes you to collect up your garden waste and take  it to the local tip,

lets assume it takes another hour to load your car, drive there and queue to empty your waste -

then when you get home there's also the time that it takes to clean the inside of your car of garden debris afterwards, lets say another half an hour...

Therefore, each week when worked out this way, is actually taking you FOUR hours per week to maintain your garden!

Assuming you maintain your garden, cut your lawn and take your waste to the tip 35 weeks a year, annually you are spending anywhere up to 140 hours per year to keep your garden looking good!

Wouldn't it be nice to have those 140 hours per year to do other things?


If you live within a 7 mile radius of the Spalding, Lincolnshire area, ANP Services Spalding can save you AT LEAST this much time every year!

  • Good blog Adrian - i agree, there is a lot of 'hidden' time that is forgotten when maintaining a garden - the time it takes an average homeowner to clear a lawn area of leaves, or hedge clippings when compared to a professional is to be noted.

    Additionally, there are those tasks that a professional can do which an average homeowner may not be able to - a hedge reduction, large tree pruning etc.

    People can then pay a reasonable price for professionalism, efficiency and peace of mind, all of which I'm sure you deliver.

"Hi Billy, that's a really good idea, even if the contracts are a mix of 'subsciption' and ad-hoc, it at least covers the expense in a worst case scenario. "

"My 130T arrived and was tested today.   It certainly runs fast...the high motor noise is slightly irritating compared to the rumble of the 130R though.  I've got used to working without ear defenders.    Planet tool owe you a finders fee."
