ED Garden Costs- madness!

Recommended Posts

I've got a typical small mid terreaced house in ED with a courtyard garden less than 6x6m. I want some flags and a bit of turf and some planters built out of sleepers. No levelling work.


Just got a quote for 10k and nearly fainted. Are these the prices people are paying in ED for landscaping? I feel like the world's gone mad.

?10k sounds way over the top, unless you're planning to pave it with marble. We used a guy called Nigel, who wasn't the cheapest, but did a great job. I don't have his number but he was referred to us by Andy, who posts on here as Spoiltdog:

Try Victor the handyman http://www.007handyman.co.uk/3.html - we used him for similar work following many recommendations for him on EDF and were really pleased with the work and the price. I can't remember how much it was exactly but I do remember that our starting budget was a small fraction of what you've been quoted elsewhere and Victor was well within budget.

Thanks KK :)


They actually do want the work. When I said thanks but no thanks they sent through an unsolicited revised quote with cheaper flags and they made multiple visits to the house. Shockingly, I think this is just how much they charge!


Thanks for the other recommendations everyone :)

Hi. Firstly, thank you Dave for the recommendation. I normally suggest to my customers to get 3 quotes for the work, so you get a balanced view of the cost, plus you get to pick our brains for ideas. I would always say, only use recommended gardeners from the forum. At least you know you are getting someone who knows how to do a good job & will not overcharge you.

I would be happy to come round & give you a quote & hopefully some ideas to keep the cost down & offer a good job, as we have been doing this for 12 years & offer a guarantee on all our work.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
